I just read that article yesterday over the North Atlantic. The management is top notch and Bill Gates money being involved should help too. They said they will use two pilots and nothing about changing that. They should have a good chance of doing well. I think the aircraft may be the weak link. I'm not impressed with the performance. Mach .60 and 1200nm. I hope they can get enough business. People with money want speed and comfort. This plane has neither. Time will tell is they can do it. The FAA says there should be 5000+ VLJ's by 2017. We'll see.
