Just asking
How do you know it’s a low life operation if they’re not even flying yet?
Wasn’t Southwest a start up, as well as JetBlue and Breeze? What about Spirit and Allegiant?
I know nothing about them but it seems odd to harpoon another new startup. Is it because it’s turboprops?
And finally ALPA is the reason all these regional jets at lower pay and conditions exist so please invoking ALPA into anything.

I don't know a damn thing about the airline, but stuff like that means I don't even need to investigate further.
If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...

Cargo outfits
Like Amerijet etc AND 135 companies are requiring training bonds. Some regional as well particularly for the bonuses. Alpa carriers btw.
I say let’s give them a shot and not pass judgement until we see how they do then we can light up ole’ APC and bash them like everyone else.

Be Careful
Cracks are starting to appear in the ice, pun intended. With all the opportunities out there right now, risking going to a turboprop upstart is just silly. You’d be waiting to see if it gets off the ground while watching seniority go by just about anywhere else. I honestly would advise against it. It’s just not worth it right now.
