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

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.
