There is, however, one outstanding issue with basing an airline in Utah. There are fewer executives with airline operations experience, so Neeleman’s startup is expected to keep an East Coast base for its operational team. That group will work on certifying the carrier with the Federal Aviation Administration.

MSP isn’t really east coast. 🤷🏽

What if the new opportunity is Amazon flying? Thoughts?

Tried this theory out a few months back with no traction from the other seat... but, Sun Country made it work.

Yeah it was super fun being in DTW or MSP getting crappy 18-20h four day trips on the Deuce, while SLC crews had deadheads on either way, flying the 900 for 4 days getting paid 25-30h.

As much as I would love an announcement with SOMETHING about new flying, I really hope we don't end up in the Amazon cargo environment... It does seem like everyone is getting some type of new flying or contract renewals and yet here we are, quiet as can be.
