Usa 3000?
I haven't lived in the States in a few years, but am looking to fly from the NYC area to Fort Meyers in a few months. Did a few web searches for the cheapest flight, and up pops one from ERW on an airline called USA 3000. Never heard of it!
What can anyone tell me about it?
Thx

I haven't flown them personally, but I know several people who have and said it was fine.
As mlatuchie noted, USA3000 used to be a charter airline only, but they have expanded to scheduled service running from the Northeast to Florida and a few other destinations. Their planes are relatively new, and they feed you on most flights.
The downside is that they don't have agreements with other airlines, so if your flight is cancelled you won't be booked on another carrier (this isn't specific to USA3000, and is a downside of all LCCs).

USA3000 services PIT. Yes, they are primarily used as charters, but seats can still be booked against on their website or via phone.
I've flown them once, PIT-MCO-PIT
It was fine. Clean planes, polite staff, and snack service. At least out of PIT, their schedule is limited to particular days of the week. For example, outbound to MCO might only be on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays and return on Saturdays, Mondays, and Wednesdays. So, you might have to be able to bend your schedule a bit.
I'd fly 'em again.
