It filled a known market (intrastate Florida for one). I got my PPL with
this void of travel intrastate.

Dayjet was a business that never seemed to know wtf it was doing. Ed
Iacobucci, an IBM vet and cofounder of Citrix Systems, ought to know how
to build a software company (which is what Dayjet came down to). They
never got a working model from the flight calculating software.

Then again, when the FAA pulls the plug on (the) Eclipse, they would
probably have been doomed anyway.

Pull the plug on Elipse? They just passed the FAA's special certification
review, why would the FAA pull the plug on them now?
