LibertyJet is a US-based low cost carrier serving the US, Canada, the Caribbean, and Central America. Founded in the 80s, LibertyJet used DC-9 and MD-80/MD-90 aircraft exclusively until 2002, when the airline began transitioning to a combined fleet of McDonnell-Douglas and Boeing 737 aircraft. As of 2020, LibertyJet operates over 800 aircraft, mostly 737s, and has the world's largest MD-80 fleet, with the type expected to remain in service into 2022. LibertyJet has survived for 40 years by combining its portrayal as the American family airline with excellent customer service and a level of decency towards passengers normally not seen in the U.S. market. The 737-800 features 156 seats, each with a free seatback entertainment system featuring TV, flight tracker, VOD through Hulu, and Spotify. Wifi is provided as well, for no additional charge. Upgrades are available for purchase. The first two checked bags are $10 apiece, and every passenger is allowed a free carry-on and personal item. LibertyJet serves over 150 destinations and is the Airline of the American People, as well as North America's airline.
So it's an LCC...with First Class? And free Wifi + VOD? And 10 dollar checked bags? And, for some reason, eight hundred aircraft???
The tail design is pretty neat but apart from that I have no idea what is going on here

It's basically Southwest and JetBlue with a different name (and a small checked bag fee. More than free, but less than the competition). Southwest was at 770-something and doesn't do flights to Canada or certain smaller airports, so 800 isn't a stretch. No first class mentioned anywhere either. 156 seats is based off JetBlue's A320, with a row added because we aren't JetBlue.
Livery is neat, but the background is a little distracting.
As for the lore, while a large LCC isn't really unheard of, one that has elements of full service carriers is. There's a reason Virgin America was constantly circling the drain and Jetblue tends to be very cautious about what markets they expand into and how fast they do it. There's also a reason why these carriers remain smaller than competitors. Profit margins are tight.

All things an LCC could potentially have. An LCC is not all or nothing, plenty of them have expandable options to make your life less miserable and even give complimentary items to woo business travelers. This is what distinguishes low cost from Ultra Low Cost.

JetBlue has Mint and free WiFi and VOD.
Hell Spirit has a first class. It's called Big Front Seats and it sucks but it's there.

This is exactly what I was referring to, JetBlue is (and Virgin America was) much smaller than this is meant to be. And yes of course I know JetBlue has free WiFi and VOD, but while it's an LCC, it's a completely different type of airline than what LibertyJet is in theory. And Mint is only installed on some A321s and used only for premium/transcon routes, not all over the place. By the way First Class was mentioned in the description here...the sentence that now reads "upgrades are available for additional purchase" (which still implies the existence of a service class above economy) said "First Class upgrades..." when I originally read it.
Anyway, as I said, the tail design here is nice. I could see this being real, just not exactly as described here.

Aha. Never said First Class Upgrades, and the part you're talking about is referring to the free wifi. If you've ever flown in the US you'd know that the wifi is pure s*** but often there's a "buy our wifi pass for like $20 bucks and you can actually use it" deal. So its a referral to upgrading the wifi.
Quite nice! When I first saw the preview on the Gallery Index I thought that the red stripe in the background was actually on the top of the fuselage...
