I still don't see a big threat that corps are going to go into the airline business themselves in mass, but I can see the airlines using these jets to provide additional services. We'll see what happens. But keep in mind, they already have a billion dollars in orders. An outfit in Switzerland has over 100 on order that they intend to lease out across Europe. Another start-up in Florida has 50 on order which they plan to use to cater to the tourist industy --- from Disney to Key West in an hour anyone? I think they'll make a lot of money.

Another item that might be worth keeping in mind is the air cargo market. I don't think that FedEx is immediately at risk(and in fact,I'll bet that FedEx has at least one of these on order,for evaluation purposes,if nothing else),but I can see where a point-to-point hotshot service for small freight loads of high value items could be profitable.
