Avioactive....good point well made and all that, but, if you were in the position of having aircraft underutilised picking multiple bases to spread your markets would be the right thing to do....exactly what Blink have done.

If they are offloading excess supply, and marketing the hell out of the concept whilst doing the smart thing of multi-basing, It is for the good of the company......so, whilst the concept of a huge fleet of VLJ's is probably not likely in this, or any economic situation, they are adapting as they learn and while that may sound really patronising, it's not as patronising as the press releases that told us how they had invented an industry that we have all spent 20 years working in.

I think we all have suspicions that the concept does not work on the scale that was originally designed due to the scaleability (sp) of certain departments within a bespoke service product, but credit where credit is due, their business decisions are unflawed (except, obviously the one where they signed up to 45 mustangs and told all the brokers they don't need them).
