	JH I hope the VLJs make it financially profitable to service at JH least some of the smaller markets again. How do you figure VLJs are going help? A VLJ has seats for 3 to 7 pax (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLJ)...take the capital cost of the VLJ, amortize over its useful life, add in operating cost (pilot salary, fuel, maintenance), divide by 3 or 7, and you've got a very expensive per mile fee. It's Econ 101, Jay. There are benefits to living in smallish University towns, but air service ain't one of them. -- If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone. - Jack Handey  |
