Default Netjets BBJs

Heard a rumor that today is the last day for Netjets to operate their 3 BBJs.

The birdie said they leases have matured and they are being returned.

Any truth?

We only have 2 left from a max fleet size of 5 at one time. The new management here has no intention of continuing the program so you're birdie may be telling the truth.

They should be gone by early 2010- I believe that is when the leases expire. There was an announcement two or three weeks ago that they are going away.

Oh well, I guess I'll start hoping to "ride" in the back of one instead... much better view I reckon.
