Looks like California Pacific has actually launched:
Still waiting for more info on Moxy and their "innovative approaches" to pilot recruiting. :E Can't believe Vallas is still alive. |

An interview with Neeleman re Moxy. Notice what worries him the most about the startup. Not getting pilots but getting airplanes. I guess he's confident about his "innovative" approach to recruiting pilots:
"So what worries you the most? Getting the planes." https://www.cntraveler.com/story/jet...on-new-airline |
Innovative:
1. We'll hire marginally qualified pilots and pay them only a tiny bit less than the lowest wage paid to pilots who are actually well qualified. 2. We'll hire qualified pilots away from other under-paying airlines by offering a truly competitive market-value wage. Place your bets! |

soon enough the pendulum will swing, and the airlines will begin their traditional down swing "right-sizing", and this airline will be in the right position to pick up the small pieces...Neelman is no fool...

Pakistan's AirBlue opening up a U.S. airline? :confused:
Airbahn: New Website Coming Soon!! https://newsroom.aviator.aero/airbah...nned-for-2019/ |
I suppose this doesn't sound exactly like a "US" start up but they are starting a US base. What airline are they talking about...Norwegian ? I can't keep track of what they're doing:
“First 2 Resource is seeking EASA Licensed B737 Captains & First Officers for our newly established European Client for their Base in Miami for a 6month renewable contract.” https://www.latestpilotjobs.com/jobs/view/id/14244.html |

It's going to be interesting. JetBlue placing an order for the CS...errr...A220 to fly in house is a good sign, indicating that they're not interested in starting a "regional subsidiary".
As for Moxy recruiting, they'll probably offer something like stock options to make up for the lower pay. |
What's this about ? No mention of citizenship or pertinent details:

Looks like a European charter from a US/Canadian operator.
Wouldn't an existing operator just use their existing pilot group for a series of seasonal charters ? Wouldn't a Canadian operator be looking for Canadian pilots ? Unless they were going to get temporary license validations for FAA licensed pilots to fly C-registered airplanes ? Sunwing is advertising for pilots but it appears to be the permanent variety: "A career at Sunwing Airlines means you can be the difference by joining a dedicated and caring team that is part of North America’s largest vertically integrated travel company. Sunwing is a large airline, with a close sense of community which will make you love going to work everyday! " https://jobs.jobvite.com/sunwing/job/oVrE9fwT |
And they just keep coming. Here's the latest. While I don't think they'll have much trouble finding pilots, it's a bold move for experienced people to leave a secure gig and roll the dice on a start up. It's paid off for some over the years but smallish numbers in the Big Scheme of things. These ventures are fun to watch:

Perhaps they just can't get pilots from the US to work on the European summer leases.
N-registered airplanes ? I assume they are. Still like to know who the company is. |

My guess is Sun Country. They've added new aircraft and have a new owner who has an eye for cutting costs.
Sun Country - ALPA |
