What corporate market are they actually targeting? The lack of any solid frequency might be an issue unless they are planning flights on the hour in peak.

The Tiger traffic will just flow to the Star or they won’t go.

I know they have been around for a bit and they might claim they know the ropes, but 10 aircraft not done before can burn a lot of cash very quickly.

They will face the same PR headwinds as Tiger with a small fleet, they don’t exactly have a system to transfer delayed or cancelled pax to other carriers or its own subsidiary. They are a tightarse regional carrier, as if they will want to fork out tens of thousands to bump pax to Virgin or the Roo.
