Levy already has Xtra.
Neelman/Moxy corporate office is in SLC at the moment.

Not sure who else is out there.

I wish ViaAir the best in the future. I wish they could send all the planes back to TSA and ask for their money back. A company like TSA should be the one out of business, not ViaAir.

You are right, but I know that owners there are CHEAP! So let's be honest, you get what you pay for. It was not right at all that TSA pencil whipped the snot out of those planes, but I'd bet, the "Via's" went cheap, expected cheap and .. . well, got cheap. Why would you not have your mechanics or a 3rd party go through the planes when accepting them?
Again, TSA was very wrong doing what they did, but management should have done their own du diligence.

They didn’t know any better. In annual and valid airworthiness certificates and currently flying at the sellers airline.....
They repeatedly did not listen to people with decades in 121 operations.... it ultimately cost them the airline.
