3) Training shouldn't differ too much considering the people they market to.
4) I think Air Taxi's will be their mainstay. There are too many wanna-be stars or wanna-be business execs out here in L.A. especially. Even the weekend warrior that likes expensive toys will live for these things.
To sum it up, I think the outlook is very good. |
Ah...my feelings are that if joe shmoe weekend warrior can't handle a 182 or a Warrior, there's no way he's going to handle a light Jet. If anything, these jets will have more aerodynamic issues then light GA aircraft. Jets require more planning, more thinking ahead. You just can't slow them down and bring'em down like you can a prop. Guys that are flying warriors and can't figure out how to enter patterns or make proper radio calls, are going to plunder.
I thikn VLJ's are good in some aspects, but very bad in others. Look at the guy (can't remember his name) that was a baseball player and flew a Cirrus into a building. This was a Cirrus. Imagine it was a VLJ. You'll have more of that sort of thing.
