Bye, bye Netjets, hello XOJET

[t-bone]

Quesion for NJAowner. Have you run the numbers on XOJET?

Has he run the numbers lately, should be the question. I know NJAowner has spoken with our people in the past, but what we offer has changed vastly as this dynamic economy requires flexibility. One of the advantages of being a small(er) company...it's easy for us to change directions quickly.

I hope that he'll come back and take another look.

New plates seem to work but haven't seen the dental kits. In fact, the lav amenities have been disappearing from the plane for months (or just not restocked).

Probably a little of both.

Wow.... XO jet put out a nice PR ad... er, I mean article.

I wonder if they wanted to get more mileage out of mentioning NetJets or Murray.

Yeah... Murray's departure from NetJets and welcome to XO Jet sounds like a win-win for both companies!

We should all be happy.

I've run the numbers recently, and XOJet looks pretty good vs the competition for the Citation X. Flight Options is less per hour w/ fractional ownership, but XO beats everyone else, fractional or card, including FLOPS' X card. They've been pushing a model where certain cities are favored, but the overall rates of their new programs are very good regardless of locale.

FWIW, I'm on here because, as a consumer of private jet travel, it's obvious that the pilots are the most important part of the system and I wanted to find out what's important to you guys. Over the last few months, I've crunched a lot of numbers and it's not obvious where the best deal is. It looks like a pretty efficient market, where any big advantage in one area is set off by a deficit in another. That's probably par for the course for a competitive business in a downturn economy.

Cheers
