Are the Lynx financial backers the same investors involved with Wizz Air in Europe ?

From Wikipedia:
Indigo Partners, LLC[1] is an American private equity firm which has a controlling interest in the American Frontier Airlines and Chilean low-cost JetSmart, as well as holding stakes in Mexican budget airline Volaris and European low-cost carrier Wizz Air, while a partnership with Enerjet is planned to launch a new Canadian ultra-low-cost carrier called Lynx Air.[2]

Funny, the current CEO of Flair used to be the head of Wizz.

Why are you guys so quick to defend these rates? Double them (literally!) and then we are getting to the fair compensation range for a 737 pilot. I don’t want to, and have no intention of flying for Lynx, but if a new company comes in with industry leading pay, it only improves things for all of us. Not to mention it helps them to retain talent! If, however, the race for the bottom continues, we are stuck in this vicious circle of losing whatever gains we may have made in recent years!

They will realize one day that the responsibility they take on is worth well beyond what they are getting paid for. And if they don't they need a head shaking
