Yep. Perfect time to start up a new airline. Never last. Why would you throw money into these dumb owners that already failed a previous airline?

I wonder if the same guys who flew for SkyBus, the ones who still remain unemployed, would apply to fly for this new outift.........if it happens.

 

[climbhappy]

yep, they would. one of our guys who left and came back said he would to me.

after reading the airport officals comments in the columbus biz journal , it is clear.... they can only do this if airports hand out all these freebies... ain't gonna happen... Greensboro airport just announced their new runway for fedex has overun about 25 million... this clearly isn't the time to start an airline, but I have to wonder ...what drives Weikle to get up each day and think. I can do this, I can make this work?

I saw this on the news this morning and threw up a little in my mouth.

Makes me think of that oft-repeated saying, "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

Well if they do decide to go through with this idea, then look for WN to announce new service to CVG as well.

Or how about "There's a sucker born every minute" ....P.T. Barnum

“It’s all premature. It doesn’t really mean anything,” Bushelman said. “They’ve been here. We talked to (Skybus founder John Weikle). But they’re no different than Southwest or Jet Blue or Jet Tran.”

Who the hell is "Jet Tran" lol ?? This guy doesnt have a clue about the airline industry... I think we are all safe.
