VLJ Pay

[Tgaug6300]

and the range with 4 people and bags? @ 600 miles..

Careful with that statement. Are those the numbers that Eclipse has put out?

Because the other numbers they put out were:
1. Originally under 1M (missed that one)
2. Able to operate at FL410 (They are non-RVSM right now so the highest I have seen them is 280.)
3. It will do 370 KTS. ( The fastest I have seen them is 290kts)

Lets not even talk about how much more money they want from customers for deposits. Also is that 4 people, 1 pilot 3 pax or 2 pilots and 2 pax?

But, at least they give you a nice handy dandy handheld Garmin GPS!

The VLJ is a JOKE. Sorry, I would not bet on that horse. Maybe a few doctors will be driving around, but as a fractional???? Not going to fly.
And as far as the estimates go for sales, another fairy tale.

We're in trouble, then, Fozzy. I heard Raytheon just sold us 90 of their new 4-seat Hawker 150XP airframes.

anyone have the scoop on the Citation Mustang in the hanger at CMH today?

All the VLJ is going to do is replace aging turbo props and bring in some pilot/owners who want to own a "jet".

Kind of like the guy who braggs about owning an Italian sports car... then you find out its a Fiat.:bawling:

I DO however think there will be a small market for an Air Taxi system like DayJet. If they can keep the ticket price reasonable, and promise what they advertise; the business plan has potential. But ya know what they say...

Ocean??? Hell some rivers may be too wide for its range.
