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.
