2. If they can get the cost to a certain point, plenty of wealthy folks who fly airline 1C, fracs, charter, or even own smaller jets could not hope to afford an SST, but would buy a ticket on one.

If the airlines are smart, they'll lock up delivery slots before fracs/135 get into the game. We may have already seen this happen.
