From the time Jet Blue was incorporated in Aug 1998 until it was awarded an operating certificate in Feb 2000 was 19 months. Seeing as how a name hasn’t been picked yet and their A220s are not yet due to be delivered, saying the airline is behind schedule seems a little premature.

Azul was the launch customer getting their first aircraft 30 Sept or so. They are scheduled to get five by the end of this year (out of 51 ordered) and even if that happens (I think they have two now) by the time you do conformity checks and stuff on the E-190s being pulled from Azul and get them US registered you are probably looking at summer before you’d have enough people and planes to even consider starting revenue service.

No, but it amounts to the same thing, since the E-190s he proposes using are only available as their replacement E-195-E2s are delivered to Azul, so he can’t start up any faster than the E-190s are available which depends on the Azul E-195-E2 deliveries.

It is the same thing in that the availability of the E190s is still the limiting factor, just as the availability of the A220s is the limiting factor had the E190s not been available. You STILL cannot start much of any airline service without airliners.

Queueing theory would suggest that the hub and spoke model is far less efficient than the alternative Moxy hopes to exploit. If that is in fact correct, it will open new markets - albeit partially at the expense of hub and spoke carriers. Overall though it should be good for commercial aviation - assuming of course the model DOES work.
And if it doesn’t there ought to be 60 used A220s available at a steep discount.
