I have flown on the airline in question. Kind of gaggle (fill in the blank) seems like that have one crew that load baggage and egress the plane from the gate at Stanford ( I sure hope the don't short change the maintenance?) So, usually takes up to 40 mins just to clear the gate. IMO the air line in guestion no different that an other airline that don't fly to big hubs or cities. Low budget, some old planes, and newer ones with lots of flying hours IMO. They survive by flying directly to smaller cities with lower rates. The problem usually with most airlines you stop at several airports hubs to finely get to were you're going with usually eats up most of the day for 4 hours flight. Good example, first time we came down here flew SW went to three airports zig zagging with 2 hours or more layover. Too 6 plus hours for hour and half flight. Ever time plane takes off and lands there risk for something bad to happen, even out of control of the pilot, FAA, or the airline. US air lines flight 1549 good example of what can go wrong when everthing else is prefect.
