Starting to look more realistic, basically aquafresh re-incarnation. Should re-employ a few folks at least...

Independent regional? How many unreserved pairings? Will it make money? Seems like another existing regional could jump on it.

Wish them luck. But I would bet against their long term profitability.

I think it’ll be more like breeze airlines type of plan. It could be a smart route to take. Sell their own tickets and services to bigger carriers looking to get a share of a market without much investment

United still owns 49.9% of Manaair and Manaair still owns ExpressJet, so I don't know whether ExpressJet would be able to serve other bigger carriers, ie United's competitors

I'm wondering if they plan on getting in on that Essential Air Service program. So compete with Skywest and Denver Air Connection. I would think that United Airlines would be agreeable to that type of a program.

I was thinking the same thing especially since United has no issue with express starting up operations. Possibly leading the aircraft to the company and all.
