Dayjet - New 135 operation in FL

These guys will be operating the new Eclipse VLJ by year's end. I really hope they manage to succeed, but given my recent "carrot-and-stick" departure from full-time pilot, returning to full-time engineer, I'm really pessimistic about aviation.

Are they for real? Some of the images on the web page make me wonder:

They are for real. Are they going to paint the airplanes all yellow with black checker board stripes?

Stealth, what's up buddy? I've seen that before on C-402's out of KFLL, they're called Yellow Air Taxi. Not my thing, but to each his own.

They are for real and spending a ton of money. It is all up in the air until Eclipse get their certification however. I know they have a Challenger they are flying. This air taxi concept has been beat to death by many new companies, all looking for money and none of them have aircraft except SatsAir that flies the Cirrus. Last we heard Eclipse failed the wing stress test with the FAA. I would be curious to see where this leads...
