The Cranky Flier has a good summary and send up of this relatively pathetic attempt at an airline.

The founder is quoted as saying

• "The whole point of this effort has always been to help people (from Skybus) who actually want to come back" and
• JetAmerica's initial routes were dictated largely by financial incentives.

That is to say, this seems to be some sort of ill-conceived jobs program for former Skybus employees. It's going to be initially funded by cities that are so desperate for air service they'll throw taxpayer money at anything.

Considering how well-funded and well-planned start-ups like Skybus I, Virgin America, etc. struggle to succeed, it's hard to imagine this going anywhere. Yikes.

Ultimately, it will fail, because with this shoestring budget, they'll be easily crushed if they become a competitive threat to anyone.
