UAL might beat the biz-av sector in the SST race... and probably lure away some biz-av customers too.

Well then your feelings are easily hurt. Again, what does this have to do with a thread about supersonic business jets? Or are you just trying to slam Kenn?

They may get a few of our people. But quite a few already use Business Class for international. They use us for domestic and our sister companies for Europe and Asia. Will these new SS aircraft be doing domestic legs? And fortunately for me, I’ll be long retired before they are even certified.

Doubt it. The Boom airliner SST is intended for over-water and they don't plan to try to mitigate the boom for over-land ops. The two (well one now) biz-jet concepts were trying for a reduced boom for over-land.

I was was just screwing with you. My feelings aren’t hurt. Lol!

I posted that link just to show that he’s on to another venture, which by the way, Boeing is also heavily invested in that technology. You can’t knock KR’s drive and vision. Everything he’s done with Flexjet since the acquisition has been good.

If you have ever read anything about entrepreneurs, you’ll know that not ever business venture is a success. In fact, any fail. There are winners and losers, but enough winners to make them very rich.
