LOL That could be the beauty of it.....

I'm sure NJA would be thrilled if one of their GIV owners was willing to fly a 40 minute flight in someone else's Phenom 100. The problem is, none of them will want to.

They'll be doing it in one of our Piaggios...

How is the baggage space on the P-180?

I think Jet Suite would have little to no impact on the fractionals. Clients who fly on very small jets charter with them because either they don't have the capital for fractional ownership or don't fly enough to make ownership financially feasible. However, some fractional owners may utilize uplift from a company such as this when flying their own aircraft wouldn't make financial sense (i.e., 1 pax flying 200 miles in a Citation X).

Fractionals, at least NJA, are starting to shift away from entry level jets and are focusing on more lucrative mid and large cabin clients. You can tell by NJA orders of the last year.

Will Jetsuite impact Marquis Card (and other card) sales? How about at the lower end of the spectrum - Beechjet, XLS and Lear 40XR charter flights? I realize fractional sales is another game...

Just curious - anyone know where the Jetsuite pilot bases in the Northeast are located? TEB and BED?
