Last time I looked BJets fleet hadn't really grown from what it had a year or so ago.

It pains to see good guys out of work - ex colleagues, uni friends, etc. BUT I can't see lasting. You can't really use the spin of how good they are at contacting people - Jonny B took a very bullish approach towards marketing and drummed up about as much support as turkeys voting for christmas.

Anyone with any common sense wouldn't be investing a huge ammount in a brand new airline with unprooved aircraft - for all we know the Phenom could turn out to be a complete turd after a year's hard graft at the hands of charter clients.

Sorry to be so pessmistic - if they get off the ground then I recon 20 aircraft get delivered before a major rethink of the business plan.
