I was just wondering if anyone out there knows if Freshaer (originally due to start ops "this summer") are still going to make a go of it?
According to their website, they'll be "taking bookings soon" and I really do wish them the best of luck, but is this the time to be launching a LCA using B757s, offering access to airport lounges and offering pre-seating? It takes long enough to board a 737 with assigned seats when your pax are all in the gate area let alone a B757 in doubtless 210+ config when you're trying to get the last few out of the lounge a few minutes' walk away...?
Surely the B757 is not the aircraft for the job for this and many other cost-related reasons... (a fine aircraft thought it may be..)?
