That is a shame; not a surprise, just a shame.

Of course, part of the administration's and the airline's justification for
user fees was based on the huge proliferation of tiny jets that was supposed to
darken our skies, so the silver lining to this is that the failure of the DayJet
business model will help AOPA's position a tiny bit.

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.
