I came across this website http://www.atlanticair.com/whatsnew.html today and had never heard of them. I live in Florida and was curious as to whether this startup was planning to be something like DayJet (air taxi) or something completely different? Also, is this airline/website legitimate, or is the company really not getting off the ground for commercial service?

It looks like a Florida version of Southern California's Miwok Airways using Cessna 172s in place of Cirrus SR22s. Although I wish the best to both of them, they seem to have reached the absolute lower limits as to aircraft equipment. Convincing potential customers that a Cessna 172 flight from Tampa to Naples through the towering afternoon Cu is cost-effective and fun is going to be no easy job, particularly since many folks consider anything under a Beech King Air 200 to be an ultralight.
I could easily see a reincarnation of DayJet using single engine Pilatus PC-12 aircraft in 8 pax configuration but flying passengers day/night VFR/IFR in a Cessna 172 or a Cirrus SR22 may have its limitations.
