What does everyone think about this?

More info here than I’ve seen anywhere else.

Anyone else catch that as part of his business model he expects his pilots to make the same as pilots flying EMB-175s? That reads to me not just "to start out" but he thinks he'll be able to maintain that.

looks like East Coast bases to start and pay significantly BELOW E-190 scale elsewhere - at least to start.

“It’s not like a 74-seat airplane that’s a scope airplane like the 175. It’s a fine airplane, but it’s not optimally sized for CASM because their pilots make the same, their maintenance is the same. Their capital cost isn’t more, burns a little less fuel because it’s lighter but they have basically 50 less seats than we do. That allows us to charge lower fares and stimulate the market.”

I assume he’s talking about this.
