DayJet made a presentation to the Gainesville Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development Board and members of the community at the Gainesville Country and Golf Club this past Wednesday on June 28, 2006.
DayJet attendees included members from Sales and Marketing, with an opening presentation made by DayJet CFO John Staten.
This event was the perfect DayJet trip. Although still flying in a Lear with our sister company Wingedfoot Services (Eclipse aircraft still to arrive), we flew to Gainesville - conducted a three hour event, then returned to Boca Raton - all in one day. Total air time was a hour for each leg.
The trip alternatives, driving or flying commercial - both would have required an overnight stay. Even if the "travel stars" aligned just right, leaving at 0-dark hundred and returning at midnight - I never would have made dinner with the family or helped put the kids to sleep.
We left work at 2 pm for a 2:40 pm flight out of Boca Raton Airport. We touched down in Gainesville Regional an hour later. The folk of Gainesville graciously picked us up and took us to the Gainesville Golf & Country Club for the presentation. Roughly 80 to 100 attendees heard the DayJet message. We closed the show three hours later, making a quick stop a Burrito Brothers for dinner to go, caught the flight just after 7 pm, and touched down in time for me to be home by 8:30 pm.
These types of trips are the core of the business model, and the true intangible value of the experience. "It's about time"; what you can do (there and back) , and what you don't have to do (miss anything, waste time).
