LOL..if you only knew of the history of this so called 'airline'. An acquaintance of mine next-door neighbor is a founding investor. I've been checking their website for over year now for new updates and this latest press release is much more sound than the crap they were talking 6 months ago...flying a few different types of aircraft to various destinations from day 1...it had no real merit. I hope this is a positive change and sound plan. New York needs another Empire Airlines.
