Matt,

My company is in the business of doing those kinds of studies. One
thing I can say with confidence is there is no way you can own a jet
cheaper than taking the airlines. When people or companies decide to
get their own aircraft, it is some of the same reasons you own your
own car. Public transportation is certainly cheaper.

Ego - I always wanted my own (The Jones's deal)
My own space
Point to point transportation
Can't get there from here
Fits my lifestyle

Can it be cheaper? - never. I don't get involved with small older
jets, but budget about $1M a year to operate a larger one.
