Absolutely zero shame for being a shill to this airline.

Pretty sure Dean and other locals with big social media followings have some sort of sponsorship deal to promote them

Oh I'm sure he does. Love the fact that he denies that he is promoting them in one of his replies.

Yeah, I’ve seen radio personalities fly to Vegas and hop on a plane right back while videoing it all on socials just to promote the flights

The dude can play defense. Has Hoiberg considered him for that final roster spot? His defensive prowess and ability to touch the equivalent of 10ft off of two feet on a turf field could be useful in the big ten.

Redway is pretty cool. I hope it is successful. Sucks they had to cancel three routes already.

 

[Ghost of Devaney]

I doubt most people even know it exists. Gotta get the word out to fill the seats.

Flying round trip to Lincoln is a killer deal. $58 ROUND TRIP for me to fly in for the Michigan and N. Illinois games.

Hey pal, he's just supporting our community! Duh!

Redway was paid for by the city/county out of money from the covid stimulus bill (American Rescue Plan Act). That money could’ve been used on pretty much anything the city/county wanted to, and they chose this. And once that money is spent, the airline goes away too. Just food for thought.

That's probably reality.

Fantasy land. Lincoln and Omaha merge airports Somewhere along I80. Redway uses it as a hub. Flights for Nebraskans get cheaper.

he's got to have skin in the game with this airline. the man is a literal master at picking the shittiest companies to promote, but I'm sure they paid him a couple bucks.

Is Redway a seperate entity and subrecipient of the grant or part of the city?

I did a little more reading on this, these type of public/private arrangements are interesting to me. I found this all out on my lunch break, Dean could’ve easily done the research if he cared.

It’s a separate entity. The local government gave $3m to the airport, and the airport offered the $3m out there as a revenue guarantee. An airline consultant formed Fly Next LLC to house the airline, they leased some planes, hired some staff, and Red Way was born.

They signed a contract with the airport where they are allowed to dip into the $3m to make up for losses at up to $30k per flight. They started out running 28 flights a week which seems ridiculous to me. I have no idea how much they are losing per flight but if it’s $30k they would burn through the $3m in less than a month.

I posted a long twitter rant on this earlier today- basically their entire business model makes no sense. They don’t sell connecting flights through LNK, meaning they’re more or less entirely dependent on LNK generated sales to support the airlines. It’s asinine.

I laugh every time I read MyPerfectFranchise.Net

That would take a whole lot more money to setup than $3 million

A single plane is like 100 mil. You'd have to have a few at least to provide connecting flights I'd think.

I was literally going to book a flight today from Atlanta and realized it disappeared. That’s a first
