Sure, money talks... but that relationship was utterly destroyed when Richard left the company. NetJets owned 99.99% of the global large cabin fractional business in 2005. They squandered and lost it, and will never see it come back. Too many competitors are firmly entrenched in the market now.

You snooze, you loose.

That is exactly why NetJets desperately needs the Hemisphere or similar. They know they blew the large cabin and need a new hero machine that could capture a hunk of it back while growing long range on a cheaper scale at the same time with lots of customers who can't afford a Gulftream or Global. It must have been a brutal disappoint at Bridgeway when they realized their possible savior is still just a wet dream. Oh well, I just hope management doesn't kill the company before I can retire.
