Dayjet & Wall Street: Falling Down 2.0
While writing stuff about aviation is fun, I’ve noticed that a lot of my babble is critical, or has some negative twist to it. But since we live in an industry that runs so high on passion, dreams and people that actually like what they do for a living, writing about it is fun - even for a crabby critic.
But critics have a role, and most recently, when reading one of my wife’s sociology papers, it dawned on me: Society (and by extension aviation) suffers from a substantial dichotomy between what we say (and do) privately vs. what we say and do publicly. That is how projects like Dayjet and Eclipse go so far off the rails, so quickly, and with so much money.
