Here's a letter that was posted on the Beechlist from Day Jet. Seems a bit iffy for those that need a definitive schedule. I sure hope they do well; seems they may need to refine things a bit.

Best,

Dave


This summer, DayJet will be launching a first-of-its-kind, on-demand regional travel option designed specifically to put you in complete control of your travel experience.
a.. DayJet flies when you need us. It's your schedule, not ours.
b.. You only pay for the seat(s) you need, not the entire plane like charter.
c.. You are in control of the cost of your ticket with our Time-Value Pricing which allows you to fly at the price you define by how much flexibility you can offer.
d.. Pricing won't change no matter how far in advance or how last-minute you book your trip.
Our Per-Seat Service will be available between specific airports we define as DayPorts. Our first 5 DayPorts are Boca Raton (BCT), Lakeland (LAL), Gainesville (GNV), Tallahassee (TLH) and Pensacola (PNS). Once you're a DayJet member, you'll have access to our online reservation portal. After you've chosen your date of travel, your ticket price will center around how flexible you can be with the time you depart your origin city and the time you arrive at your destination city. The larger the window of time you give us to get you from Point A to Point B, the less your ticket will cost. We call this flexible cost structure Time-Value Pricing. Once you book a seat, the fare and schedule that you've tailored won't change. You're guaranteed to fly between the times you've specified and at the price you've designated - no matter if you are the first, last or only person on board.

You won't spend your entire travel window with DayJet, but be sure you block out the window of time you designated as DayJet time. The night before you fly, we will narrow your travel window as much as possible in order to give you back most of the time you offered to us in the booking process. You will be contacted by 8:00 p.m. the night before your trip to confirm the time you need to check in.

You can also DayJet between an additional 65 airports (CLICK HERE) within our extended network by reserving a whole plane for your trip. All 3 passenger seats are dedicated to the flight. Whether 1, 2 or all 3 seats are used is entirely up to you. Pricing is flat-rate and is unique depending on the origin and destination cities you choose. No travel window is needed - simply tell us your date of travel and the time you'd like to depart and a plane will arrive at that time to take you to your destination. Service is drop and go and all trips are booked as one way, so another aircraft will return at the pre-determined time you designated when booking the second leg of your trip.

You'll depart onboard the advanced Eclipse 500 jet. It seats 3 passengers and 2 pilots, and the interior is about the size of a minivan, but with the comfort and design of a luxury auto - one that can travel at speeds of up to 425 mph. You get the power and performance of jet travel coupled with a cabin quiet enough to work, converse, or just hear yourself think.

We are a membership-based service, so the first step toward flying with us is to sign up and become a DayJetter. Membership is $250 a year per person with a targeted launch date of October.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, I would like to introduce you to your local representative.

Thank you,

There's been a lot of discussion about DayJet on the Eclipse Aviation Critic blog. (http://eclipseaviationcritic.blogspot.com/ in the comments sections of the posts) There are folks tracking DayJet aircraft usage and, so far, it seems like a non-starter. It started out OK for the first couple of weeks, but it's dropped off quite a bit. Most of DayJet's airplanes don't leave the ground and those that do fly only a couple hours a day.
