 First there was MaxJet, then there was EOS, then came Silverjet. Friday SilverJet announced it was the last to go. It is the end of a short run for the all Business Class carriers. Lawrence Hunt CEO announced May 30 it will park the planes for good after only 16 months of operation. I was scheduled to return to New York May 30 or 31 but at the last minute took Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy class direct to Orlando. This announcement left thousands of passengers scrambling for a new way home. Silverjet has been struggling for the past few months to get additional financing to keep their birds in the air. Perhaps with the uncontrollable, skyrocketing fuel costs and the economy such as it is Silverjet should view this as a blessing in disguise, after all this is the end of the final red ink for them. Had they received another round of loot they may have gotten themselves deeper in the hole. Sometimes those investors really do know what they are doing.
