Yeah, I've been interested in the very light jets (VLJ's) and the SATS program for about 4 years now. It'll be interesting to see how these airplanes perform in the real world. Unfortunately if they CAN offer competitive pricing and service to local airports, they may significantly hurt the airline business...Just what we need.
I guess we could all fly VLJ's, but what would the salary be for a captain of a 6 seater VLJ; around $30,000? Maybe $10/hr for FO's?
