If anyone goes to one of these new start ups, I just hope the new ULCC gets a strong foot hold before the economy turns. Especially if the target demographic is secondary markets and leisure travel. There's a huge grave yard full of failed start ups. I also wonder how they are going to compete for their work force these next few years as peak retirement hits. Going to be interesting to see what kind of compensation they can offer against other ULCC and even some regional's that have upped the ante.

. Wasn’t that blue potato chip carrier out of JFK a LCC? I’ll wager that Moxy will do just fine.

It will be interesting to see how difficult it is to staff these new start up with pilots. There's a huge difference today vs when airlines like Skybus started.
I think there will be some draw for the getting in on the ground floor thing, but with such massive hiring occurring and good contacts right now, I suspect these start ups will struggle to hire good candidates

Yes, they lasted about three years. APC member “Skyhigh” flew for them.
