Seems like they're planning on flights to/from OAK/ORD in US.

This seems to sketch out some of the details:

This was in our local news:

IIRC, the paperwork got tied up a little bit, so there was a delay. Based on the article, it sounds more like Fall than July.
If they really want to be an LCC, it needs to be less than $1000/rt. F/C shows fares below this currently. I think Fokker's guess is pretty good.
Although, what we're trying to figure out here is.... what facilities?! Is Oakland seriously planning to do this out of Gate 1?

I am really curious to see what the fares are. I hope that Oasis has been able to work out a deal with OAK in regards to taxes/airport charges. I hope that in the summer their fares will be at/near 500-600 RT. Then I'd seriously consider taking them over the majors. Over the winter, most of the airlines I take have fares to Asia for less than 700ai, and I do accrue miles.

A stated above, just look at what they're doing out of London where taxes are also somewhat punative. £75 (that's under C$200) one way in Y, £470 one way in J, plus taxes of £75-115 depending on class of travel.
