i think the responses of some later posters highlight my point. jb is a tall order in this market.
the jr jb similarity is we have people investing in buying a large fleet of aircraft in the hope (sweet hope) that they will break even/produce a return on investment.

no matter how you wrap it, its based on aircraft fleet ownership, marketing, competing in a tricky market for market share, and the hope for break even.

it also involves a huge jet order..... i stand by my view, JR or JB....nice idea but risky and coming into a flooded market

backers? - jr also had backers with deep pockets, but i presumed their plug pulling was what caused the 'revolution' of jr to founder. backers are no fools and dont throw cash away forever......deep pockets may be, but they always have a bottom....

re the comment "i dont have anything useful to say?" .... its a free country, if you dont like my opinion...come up with one of your own :-) and lets reconvene in a year to see who s right ;-)
