Have you done any travelling lately? There are a lot of companies,
from Honda to Eclipse to Cessna and others who are betting that,
given a reasonable alternative, people won't put up with the time
and hassle of using hubs that are 180° away from where they
ultimately want to go.


Which means what? I don't see the connection.

Regional jets and the smaller light jets such as the above companies are
introducing can use the shorter runways of GA airports, and therefore
become more efficient ways to travel. While it's early in that curve, the
idea is based on the already successful corporate jet enterprises (that
also use GA airports). So, it directly answers your original question
about the viability of GA.
