PA,
Hard to say for sure. They'd have to be willing to roll the dice on it becoming something bigger and better down the road. Risk/reward and all that.
Time will tell who shows up...probably more willing people than one would imagine based on Neeleman's track record. The younger and more footloose a person is the more risk he can take because he'd have time to recover from a failure of the experiment.
The critical group will be the captains as their experience will be needed from the start.
The recruiting ads will be interesting...
