Default New LCC Based in PHF?

Local news is saying there is a new LCC beginning operations out of PHF. It is a start-up headquartered locally and headed by "former airline executives." Seems ambitious to me. Anyone heard anything?

The only valid reason I can ever even imagine that someone would have for starting up an airline in this environment is because they need a tax write-off. You are essentially guaranteed to lose your ***, especially in the near/mid-term.

Not exactly the intel I was looking for, but I value your opinion.

"After a 25-year absence, the airline brand synonymous with low-cost fares and unsurpassed customer service will return to the skies"

From the airline that tried to charge it's own crews for coffee!
