Callsign = CAD

What happens during hurricane season when the power to their HAL-9000 goes out for a week?
"I'm sorry Dave I can't do that"

Their callsign should be CAD.

Scary stuff.

Saw the Eclipse at Sun-n-Fun this year. The plane itself looks really nice, but I don't know how its gonna work in charter. Seems like it didn't have a very good paylaod. That's gonna be a little tuff with 2 pilots eating up a good part of the load. I thought this plane was supposed to be the single pilot replacemnent of the owner flown twin. If I remember right, I don't think the single engine climb was much better than a piston twin either, but I could be wrong. Maybe someone has real numbers.

HEED THE EXPERTS! HEED THE EXPERTS! ALL MUST FAIL! ALL MUST FAIL! Oh, no, running low on pessimism, must switch to cynicism!

What a bunch of yahoos.

What cynicism? I didn't say it wouldn't fly -- it's just small.

As to the business model: it's interesting, and I make no predictions.

I've said it before, I'll say it again...If there was even a remote chance that money could be made wit VLJ's, then you would see NetJets, Citation Shares, et. al. jumping on the bandwagon.

Not sure if that is true, I see it as a very different market. Limos make money and so do cabs, but you don't see the limo companies buying cabs ...

Its kind of like surfers and managers.

The managers are out to screw the surfers. Everyonce and a while the surfer will screw the manager with the bill.

inside joke.
