So, Geronimo, do you know what your management's interest was in the Phenom originally? I was curious about that.

My guess (and I mean that literally) is that we were looking for an even less expensive option to lure in some new biz. The numbers for the Phenom (that I've heard owners batting around) were in the $200K initial/$5k-month range. (again, this is all hearsay)
But, at that rate, it reaches a whole new level of potential frac customer, that, once they've flown frac, won't go back!
Possible hope could have been to bring some new, less $$ folks onboard, then grow them to something larger down the road.
Lot's of our owners (some with shares elsewhere) have called us the Southwest of the fracs, due to our relative costs. Many use us instead of their X or Falcon for the shorter trips, and I suppose some of our own current owners might have done the same with another cheaper share. Hey, what's another 50 hrs or so?
Seems like a cool little jet, with Embraer reputation behind it, but I wouldn't have traded my Piaggio seat for it! Maybe the 300, though?

And, Happy 4th to everyone else in the hotel appreciation biz today....
