Is OO starting to sell tickets? Can you book a continuous itinerary from Podunk to ATL? Will they get connection fees from any mainline partner?
This will get really interesting.

I don’t know. If it were me I might incorporate a company called SW Charter Holdings, Inc. to operate the flights and then another company called SkyWest Charter, LLC to sell the tickets.
Point is it can be done. I can buy a ticket to Vegas on JSX any day of the week. Feels no different than buying a ticket on Southwest.

Yeah my miss. That’s why Cape and Boutique and Tradewind don’t use ME aircraft.
So if the captain of this SW Charter has to have an ATP, why would they do that job? Great deal to lock in 250 hour FOs but how do you get a captain to stay there getting TPIC for at least 1250 hours?

Otherwise, if I’m an ATP and I want to go to the 121 airlines, you could make a pitch that TPIC as a 135 captain is more valuable than SIC 121 time and you can skip the regional…but that’s certainly not what OO wants to see happen.
The captains are the bottleneck.
