Default Who was saying DayJet was doing well? Not so much.

And just because they aren't in the black yet doesn't even mean that the
company has a problem. Very few new companies, especially those with
high start up costs make a net profit in even the first several years.


It looks like DayJet is still making an effort:

DAYJET EXPANDS OPERATIONS IN FLORIDA
(http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#197926)
Less than two weeks after announcing cutbacks in staff

(http://www.avweb.com/avwebbiz/news/B...197799-1.html),
DayJet on Tuesday said it will expand its network

(http://www.dayjet.com/News/PressRele...a_05202008.pdf)
of DayPorts, adding two more Florida cities, for a total of nine
sites. With the addition of Jacksonville and Sarasota, 62 percent
of Florida's population now lives within 35 miles of a DayPort
airport, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.


What is ironic, is that both DayJet and Cirrus' SATSair are competing
in the same SE regional market. Imagine how well one of these
start-ups might do if they could command 100% of the market instead of
50%. And the west coast is open, but neglected.
