Andrew Levy shocked a lot of people when he resigned as CFO of United Airlines in 2018 to create a new airline. On the latest This is Working, the Avelo Airlines founder and CEO talks to LinkedIn's Editor in Chief Dan Roth about why he launched a startup in an already saturated industry of giants — seeing an opportunity to tap underserved markets with lower-cost, short-haul flights through smaller airports. Levy also discusses the challenge of building brand awareness and the importance of having team members who aren’t afraid to debate each other.
