I would absolutely love to get on with a new company where everyone was trying to make it a success. However, my biggest questions and concerns come in the form of "What is the intended future of this company?"

From the interview with CEO Ed Wegel in Airways News:

AN: What do you hope the airline will look like five years from now?

EW: I think that five years from now, we’ll be operating a very good charter division with eight to 10 737s. We’ll also be effectively employing MRJs for ourselves and other airlines, along with operating between 20 and 25 aircraft out of Miami. We will also provide a maintenance operation and a flight training business.


Is this place going to be a real airline or become another regional with a few 737s (ACA clone)

As much as I was hoping that this would be the next JetBlue, or grow to a point that might start to rival it's former glory, I don't think that is what is going to happen based on the current business plan.
