Started with prop which no one wants to fly and now has a fleet of 29 high quality props. So lets see what happens, personally I would rather fly jet than prop anyday. Dash 8 started in 1984.

Porter Airlines is a regional airline headquartered at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport on the Toronto Islands in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1] Owned by Porter Aviation Holdings, formerly known as REGCO Holdings Inc., Porter operates regularly scheduled flights between Toronto and locations in Canada and the United States using Canadian-built Bombardier Dash-8 Q 400 turboprop aircraft.

Porter's operation at the Toronto airport was launched in 2006

I concur. IMO, the only way to start an airline is to get a fairly late model aircraft and get certified yourself. It really isn't all that hard.
Acquiring an airline for its certificate is probably doomed to failure. If the airline had real value, they wouldn't be winding it down and selling it off. Might be good for a quick stock price pop though with the news.
