The Forbes article should be a wake up call to those who have their entire retirement pinned on this airline. The realities are spelled out pretty well. Far from Manhattan, other flights to the same destinations (PAR and TLV), startup airline challenges, etc. That being said, I would like to see the airline make a go at it and survive. But we all know the US airline industry is cut throat.
The first 3 months of revenue flying, whenever they happen, will make or break this airline. Tony and company are putting all their eggs in the "if we build it, they will come" basket. If the planes are flying half empty, that's a bad sign. On the other hand, if the Summer 2017 Norwegian flights do well, that's a good sign that there is a market. If Norwegian drops some of those SWF flights (or all of them), then that's a big red flag. And consider USGL wants to do their routes with a plane far expensive to operate.....
This is going into my "hold" folder for now. Need too see some more positive progress internally when they announce it.
