Met someone in Chicago that claimed to be associated with this. Sounds like they are going to buy an existing privately owned regional airline and transition it to 'mainline' aircraft. Also said 'moxy' won't be the airline name. Just used for fund raising.
edit: spoke very vaguely about it. I don't have any additional details.

Moxy Airways
Air Wisconsin.... only true privately held regional carrier remaining. Very wealthy overlords.
Doubtful a regional carrier would be bought to bring the new carrier to life. It’s not David Neeleman style.
Not one of his startups: Airline creation started with purchasing a Regional carrier.
Morris Air
WestJet
JetBlue Airways
Azul (Brazilian Airlines).
Even as TAP Air Portugal co-owner, he did not dab into purchasing regionals.

JetSuite X is going through a rapid expansion here in Dallas, and hiring like crazy. This is surprising as they do not currently have any flights that touch the metroplex. That being said, their current strategy seems to be a bit more upmarket than the standard regional...seems like it could possibly align with Moxy...

But in this climate, that might be the only choice to acquire experienced, competent pilots. I saw that as the real show-stopper for a startup right now, but it might work if he "saves" some smaller regional from their inevitable fate.

This would be the most likely scenario in my opinion. It solves all the problems. Find a struggling regional carrier that is shrinking due to pilot attrition, maybe one that doesn't have pay scales based on the number of seats, and transition out of the regional airline business slowly.
At this point, you are adding a new aircraft type to your certificate, slowly adding airplanes and crews with a new business model, all while shutting down the fee for departure model and letting contracts with major airlines just expire.
