XJet in Horizon's backyard

X-Jet seem to have big balls to step in Horizon's backyard. How will this play out.. Will XJet be able to compete or will Horizon's passengers stay dedicated.

What routes are you taking about? I understand XJT to be opening an ONT base but that's not Horizon territory?

Spokanne and Boise are really the only two cities I would consider Horizon's backyard. Sacramento is United and Southwest.

But, here is how Horizon is reacting. They are already going to double service from Spokanne to Sacramento.

SFM is Sanford, Maine. I think you mean SMF and that's United territory.

9 out of 10 people dont know whos operating the flight they are on. They just go to expedia.com and travelocity and look for the cheapest prices.

Ask Independence Air employees how well it works starting a new airline flying 50 seat RJs with no codeshare.....Oh, wait. There aren't any more Indy employees. Never mind.

Thank you for showing everyone how much you know about the situation! Nothing like Indy other than operating 50 seaters. How much other revenue did Indy have other than FLYI? How much revenue do we have coming in on top of our venture? LOTS CAL and DAL are both providing us with money to supplement our plan.
