The man ha a proven track record in the U.S. and S.A. It’s a gamble... for sure. However... think about the seniority numbers... 15,000+ with a legacy? Or a range from 01 to 100 with an upstart that has the possibility of growing. You have carriers in the U.S. operating into secondary markets with success. Yeah some, for example Skybus, Independence, People’s Express 2.0 folded.
But at the end of the day, being 15,000 on the seniority list runs the risk of being furloughed, during tough times, for many years... many are too young to remember the ‘70s.
ULCC may not carry the same glory as AA, DAL, UAL, etc... but hey they said SWA, Allegiant, Spirit would never make it... and how are they doing today
