Jetbird

I'm curious what you guys think of Jetbird's business plan in General. Are there that many people that are really comfortable in a cabin like the CJ2s?

Saw their presentations and launch video...quite boastfull. Especially that Slattery guy...

But my best part are the constant silly references to LCCs and Ryanair...

This is simply a branded charter company with a less expensive plane. Utilization, turnarounds...all that other stuff wont differ much from a conventional charter operator.

And BTW, Embraer is probably one of the few not giving any DOC or fuel burn estimates. And my guess is that they're probably going to be on the high side...

Your thoughts?
