There's NO way GoJets could handle the increase in airframes. And you know that GL flies 1900's and 120's, right? You do know that adding a new fleet type to the certificate, let alone jet equipment to an all turbo prop operator isn't what one would call and expeditious process.
Sadly, Jerry has the "economies of scale" on his side.
