Looks like their first two domiciles will be LA-area and Las Vegas. Bunch of ex-Jet Blue executives involved with 50 firm orders for Phenom 100s with 50 more options. Sounds like it won't start up until 2009.

I meant United's CEO, or maybe Continental's going " hum, there's no more room to expand, the airline industry is completely saturated, I KNOW, let's start a fractional"....
I worry a bit when I see a new fractional starting up, just like the guys at Frontier, Alaska or Airtran worried when they heard about Virgin America or Skybus.

No worries. I was just venting - I am tired of the regionals. Operators like Jetsuite sound interesting but until they have been operating for awhile I wouldn't personally apply. The founders have some good experience and probably some cash, but the market is pretty fickle. Flying a Phenom 100 around the West Coast would probably be fun though.

If they need crews for 100 Phenoms they will need to pay decent rates - especially for those people living in expensive SoCal (looks like Hawthorne for a LA-area domicile). Thankfully they will also offer domiciles in cheaper Vegas and Phoenix. The newly revamped website looks pretty good:
