The top executive of a Southern California private charter airline says the Golden States hostile business environment propelled his companys decision to relocate to Texas.
Not being viewed as an enemy, but being viewed as an asset is so refreshing, said Alex Wilcox, Chief Executive Officer of JetSuite Inc. He described the air carriers decision to move to North Texas this summer as a welcome change.
He shared a glaring example of one difference between California and business-friendly Texas. I tried to start flying out of Santa Monica, California. And they sued me because I was trying to bring a service to the city, said Wilcox. When I got to Dallas, literally, people in City Hall were like, How can we help you?
Wilcox anticipates 60 employees will move with top brass to Texas and they will fill 180-200 jobs with Texans.
Wilcox said other selling points Texas offered included lower costs and a larger aviation infrastructure which exists because of the Dallas-based Southwest Airlines and Fort Worth-based American Airlines.
The boutique charter airline allows travelers to rent a private, small jet. Currently, their daily flights only cover select California cities and Las Vegas, Nevada. JetSuite intends to expand its destinations. The CEO also has high hopes for the other side of their business, JetSuiteX, where individuals can purchase a seat on one of their charter flights to avoid the hassle of larger airports. One-way ticket fares start at $129.
The company plans to grow its consumer reach with a fleet of regional small jets to 100. Wilcox told the Business Journal that JetSuite revenues range between $55 million and $60 million while JetSuiteX accounts for $50 million in earnings.

The bad news is that 60 dimwits from CA are moving to TX.
that’s why for many years I told you Texas Freepers NEVER to show off your state as an economic powerhouse. You should start denigrating your state as a “gun loving mofos who hate fags” and that should scare off the liberals from moving in..
1. Do you really think any of these people are “blue?”
2. You might want to take a quick look around your own state, because there's a whole lot of “blue” already there and it's growing. Houston, blue, Dallas, blue, SA, blue, Austin, blue.
Plus take a gander at your counties that front the Rio Grande, all blue, two counties deep. Like California, only the sparsely populated areas of Texas are still red ( like Swollen Groin, the town where Buford T. Justice was sheriff).
You will be amazed at how quickly the “conversion” takes place and I doubt that CA expats are going to be what does you in, because the ones that are leaving here are not the liberals. The liberals will be the last to leave.
Well aware, but thank you for your enlightenment.
I keep getting e-mails from the same search firms for engineering jobs in the SF area of California. I keep telling them HELL NO. California, as far as I/m concerned, has gotten so bad that not only are the producers moving out, no producer will want to go there.
My no-go list for jobs:
California, Oregon, Washington
Minnesota (spent 10 years there)
Illinois
The entire Northeast, and I’m originally from New Jersey.
I hope the owner doesn’t bring a bunch of libs with him into Texas.
yep. I wish my town wold do the same. Tourists come here, and like it, and then stay. Sadly some are lunatic liberals who want their new place looking like the cesspit they left.
well we are getting an influx of CA lunatics who want us to be like the crap , socialist hell hole they left, and yes one woman at my work is the typical stereotype who needs to move back to San Freako
“1. Do you really think any of these people are blue?”
Yes. They breathe a sigh of relief, and that lasts a few months. Then they begin to start in with telling people “a few good ideas California has”. And they start supporting the local abortion clinic. On and on. I bet to a person they support foggotry and letting in all the foreigners they can.
Then elections come. It is bad for Texas to have a California exodus. And this has been the experience of every other state that has suffered the Californication. Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico...
Those people are indeed blue.
You won't find many of those types in aviation!
I've been flying over 50 years; the son of a pilot and father of an airline captain.
And yes, I know Naval Aviators like the one who saved so many lives a few days ago.
I can't speak for Texas, but welcome to a better place to fly!
lol
People in Dallas just don’t know how to drive properly.
Yes. Colorado is too Focus on Your Family for liberals.
Liberals ought to move to more enlightened states like Arizona or Oregon.
We should try that here in Idaho, too.
Who would stay here? Really? Today Johnand Ken had on someone with some kind of small business they had just moved to outside Pittsburgh and he kept saying how much better their lives were after only a few weeks in the new place. They had enough $ left over to spend on daily entertainment and pleasure. You cant do that here in CA.
It’s the difference between America, Texas, and communist occupied northern Mexico, California.
California has succeeded in criminalizing business. Businesses must be punished, after all, its for the children.
I’m going to apply to work for them. I have airline IT operations experience and I’m in north Dallas. Hey, anybody know people who work there???
