I don't know about that, with oil the way it is, it's going to be harder and harder for these bottomfeeders to undercut with anything but $50 dollar oil.
Mesa, back in the day, could afford to take the hit..because they could get investors to pump money into the airline to offset their losses until they gained a foothold.
I don't see ANYONE with the financial mojo getting into the industry right now, and certainly isn't going to be willing to throw millions at a start up with the price of fuel as it is.
Just my .02, interesting topic.
