OK they started selling tickets today. I am going to Seattle for a great price, how much on board selling (beside soda and food) will I have to go through (ie clothing, perfumes etc). Otherwise I am excited to see this get off the ground. I hope the pilots and crew will be happy, though which has me a bit concerned; the Airline BBSs seem to say everyone will be underpaid, the pilots by half of the average wages for A319s. Yikes, maybe there will be a better solution.

As a CMH user and Cols native, lets get this airline to work, and stay for a long time!

marada - I hope they do well as well. It’s been fun watching them come together over the past few years, and that much more exciting to see that they are actually materializing.

Here is a little insider info I was made aware of.
As of 5pm on the first day they sold tickets, they had over 61,000 bookings.
I only hope it will last.

That's a great number of tickets. I think they will get responses like that as they add more routes. Even as most prices climb as planes fill, it is still a major bargin. The first couple of weeks and passanger response will make or break the enthusiasim.

The marketing works, I had no need to go to Seattle, but since the price was right, and its the only corner of the country I haven't visited, what the heck! I just hope they add Phoenix to the route list.
