Hold up Sun Tzu - I agree NetJets has been pulling in some interetsing dollars, BUT you are making reference to the Marquis card. As far as I know, this is a separate entity (although speculation says that RS is going to buy the company outright). They are partnerd with Marquis, and no doubt hold some form of equity in the company. However, Marquis is pulling in a good part of the revenue as well.
I think the bigger issue is how much extra time is Marquis putting onto the NJ fleet. If I was a NJ owner and realized my residual value would fall b/c my a/c was being overused OR I was not getting a QS tail very often, I would be bull*&^!!
Marquis LEASES time from NJA Sales, on what ever a/c they want to sell cards on. They have oversold this beyond belief. We don't have the planes if you parse out the card totals, we sell off and we fly the piss out of the owners planes.
Marquis makes what Netjets lets them. Period.
