Flight Options Phenom 300 orders

I was curious if any Flight Options folks could tell me what they know about the Phenom 300 purchase. Was curious if any of these planes would be IND based, if they forsee Flight Options hiring for IND anytime soon, and if they will be two person crewed?

I am currently flying for a 135 cargo operation as an F/O on a turbo prop and will be looking for a new job sometime around Dec 08. Anything you can tell me will be appreciated.

Thanks,
SPD

Does anyone think they will convert those orders to actual airframes on the ramp?

What I'm thinking, whether they convert those options or not is:

basically they're throwing in the towel on this market (NJ, CS, FX). They're sending out a message, "we can't compete with all three of you guys, so we'll get these little things and go after Avant Air, and Plane Sense. Maybe we'll fair better against them".

As far as them converting those orders, who knows.
