Ed,
Yup, good points all. I learned to fly at HOU years ago and know the area well. I've lived in Silicon Valley for a number years now. GA begins to shine when you need to go off the beaten path. It's always going to be more expensive, but it might be worth it in your situation. A friend of mine operates a Cessna 421, a pressurized cabin class piston twin. You could get into a good one for about $350K and he figures his operating costs around $350/hr or so. Of course, it isn't as fast as a jet, but it cruises in the flight levels, over some of the weather and it has a john. But a trip from IWS to Sacramento would still take about 7-8 hours or so. You're correct that IAH and HOU both have a lot of operations. The assumption that large companies are in large cities is incorrect. Try to get a flight into Chapel Hill, NC. You have to go to Raleigh via Charlotte. How about Tyco Electronics in Harrisburg, PA via CLE. Intel in Folsom takes a flight to SFO then Sacramento but we usually drive a rental from SFO BRBR -- Dr. Nuketopia Sorry, no e-Mail. Spam forgeries have resulted in thousands of faked bounces to my address. |
