They'll be temp jobs.

You mean as opposed to the permanent ones created by the government. Or are you talking about the permanent jobs over at the likes of NWA, UAL, AMR.

If everyone thought the same way it would be the end of entrepreneurship as we know it.

What does this have to do with government jobs? The jobs at the legacies were fairly cushy, some of the best jobs in the middle-class, until deregulation and low-cost entrants put downward pressure on pay and benefits.

This isn't entrepreneurship, it's re-animating a failed business-model, Frankenstein-style. They'll probably have the pilots toss bags and work the ticket-counter just like the original ("team-players," only.)

It will be a miracle if they'll last even half as long.

In a few years, we'll see an Independence Air, and the cycle of life will continue.

There was both a Pan Am II, a National II, and a Braniff II. All now studied by paleontologists.

I know about those but I thought PanAm 3 and braniff 3 were due to launch a while ago??!?!

This nonsense never seems to end. This idea is crazier than these clowns trying to get California Pacific going. Its nice to see people chase their dreams, but sometimes a little reality is in order. Like California Pacific, it will probably never get off the ground and if it does, it will never make it. You can bet on that! Fun fantasy though.

Usually its a scam to attract investors in love with the idea of owning an airline but having no clue as to what is required. This guy is going to take the money and run. Based in NN/Williamsburg? Give me a break!
