True but you get a couple of airports to stump up $1M in route development and the financials look great when they start. Then an IPO to let the public in on the 'amazing business'. The airport agreements come to an end and the routes have to stand up without support. Not viable so the whole lot goes down.
I honestly hope they make money but they will have airport (read ratepayer) money underpinning some pretty dumb airport pairs. That is not long term sustainable.
