JetSuite X - Public Charter E135s
Just announced today and confirms some of the rumors about the ERJs:

I presume to be crewed by LA based pilots. Wilcox also mentions Palomar to SJC as a potential market for the service. Plenty of dusty, cheap ERJs sitting in the desert waiting to be used on niche services I suppose....

Concord??? I can count on less than 1 hand the number of times I've flown a charter into/out of CCR in the past 12 years. Is there that much demand in the east bay or will the passengers just be driving past OAK on their way into the SF? Seems like an odd choice...there's a reason CCR hasn't had airline service in 24 years.

Who knows...hope it works for JetSuite. It just seems like a very large departure from what they've been doing the past few years. Makes me wonder how successful the original plan has turned out to be.

I agree. I have some friends who work there and like it, but this move is a bit surprising. "Private jet experience" for $109? I hope it works for them, but isn't traveling on a small jet with 29 other people, uh, called a regional airline?

I do not remember PSA flying in and out of Concord. The only bay area airports I am aware of was SFO, OAK, and SJC.

How is this a legal part 135 operation? I was under the impression that scheduled turbojet flights required a 121 certificate.
