Are you doubting their ability to fill 189-seats in a part of the country that is still nervous about traveling flying from an LA satellite airport to places that see 2 RJs per day? Are you insinuating they couldn't even give those seats away for free right now? Are you saying that you don't think $111 in revenue from ACV-BUR will break even? Are you, commie?

Interesting that they advertise themselves as a shuttle service for tech remote workers, I guess who need to get to BUR but then go back home to MFR or OGD where they live cheaply. Interesting, but I'm not buying it...
 
WTF? You ever seen a brown box-driver's first year pay stub? I am a MAN OF THE PEOPLE now, and my bank account is testament. Luckily, I still have an Adidas track-suit stashed away next to a handle or four of rot-gut Wodka, so I will consider your suggestion, Tovarish.
 
LOL I am looking at trying to get on their inaugural STS-BUR then back the next day and do an article for Airways magazine, I notice the first BUR-STS flight is sold out. $39 STS-BUR for the 1st flight, $19 in both directions forever on. But get this; their schedule runs on 15 minute turns! With a 737-800! So if you're an hour late, the next flight is 45 late already. Good luck with that.

Think there's a mistake somewhere in there - it's ~40 minute turns.

Founder spent 2-years at UAL as CFO, but cut his teeth as co-founder of Allegiant, ultimately leaving as President and COO.

The day I searched, the website itself when buying a ticket said 1540 arrival into STS, 1555 departure. Dunno, maybe just that day?

Except for day 1, the schedule is

1540 - 1705 BUR-STS
1745 - 1920 STS-BUR

Ah OK, so normally it will be 40 minute turns. I'm hoping to fly out day 1, one window seat left, packed flight mostly STS-BUR, but BUR-STS has like 10 people on it the next day haha. Not sure what I'll do in BUR for a day but it'll be a cool opportunity and I can write it off if the article gets approved. So random that STS is the first route of a new airline, Sun Country and Allegiant couldn't even make STS work when times were booming. AS is the only airline that has had real success there.
