Breeze Airways

Breeze Airways is a newer airline founded in 2018 by David Neeleman, who was a founder of JetBlue. The airline doesn't serve Kansas City (clearly) but for some reason, one of their planes was parked at the Wheeler Airport today. I think it was just there getting maintenance, but I do wish they'd launch operations from Kansas City. That's unlikely to happen since KC isn't really an underserved market, but they do serve places like Palm Beach, Las Vegas, San Francisco, LA, and New York.
Surely a long-shot, but if they wanted to set up operations here, and didn't want to go to the new Airport (because of costs), I wonder if Wheeler could support Breeze with minimal retrofitting.
Beyond my personal hopes, it was interesting to see this pane parked here since its just one of 22 Breeze planes out there right now (75 additional planes are on order with 73 of those being Airbus A220s and 2 being Embraer 195s). The current 22 are made up of 7 A220s, 10 E190s, and 5 E195s.
The plane seen here arrived early this morning from St. Louis. FlightRadar says its been back and forth to Spirit of St. Louis airport the past few days.
