They were at the online FAPA job fair last week.

I don’t what was said, but I had the opportunity to talk with one of the founders two years ago. They acquired the Xtra Airways operating certificate and plan on “being the next Southwest.” All 737 fleet, use a lot of technology, point to point flying, low prices.

Andrew Levy is heading the company (former United CFO and cofounder of Allegiant). A former Southwest and jetBlue exec is also onboard.

They actually plan on being headquartered in Houston, not 36th St. but with Breeze launching soon and the travel industry depressed, it’ll be interesting to see how many startups will make it in the near future.
