They must be extremely expensive to run; They have a huge footprint with very high leasing costs and all the operating costs of an on-demand restaurant, in addition to a higher (than a UC) staff to guest ration. I really don't see how they can re-open without huge numbers of corporate J flyers subsidizing the operation-corporate flyers that I believe will never return due to the plague and the improved communications technology that evolved as a result. Sadly, it's likely that future
Polaris customers will just get access to the UCs, perhaps with an exclusive area.
