Who Will Win the Most Prestigious Trophy in Aviation
National Aeronautic Association FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: David Ivey, 703-527-0226 February 16, 2006 ECLIPSE AVIATION WINS 2005 COLLIER TROPHY Eclipse Aviation Corporation has won the 2005 Robert J. Collier Trophy "for the greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in America.” The 95 year-old trophy, aviation’s most prestigious award, will be presented to the company “for leadership, innovation, and the advancement of general aviation” in the production of very light jets, specifically, the Eclipse 500. Eclipse joins past winners of the trophy including Orville Wright, Howard Hughes, Chuck Yeager, Scott Crossfield, the crew of Apollo 11, and SpaceShipOne. The award has been administered by the National Aeronautic Association (NAA) since 1911. Announcing the 2005 winner, NAA President and CEO David Ivey said the selection committee’s criteria included recognition of the rich heritage of the Collier Trophy, and “the spirit of entrepreneurship, technical innovation, and the impact on American aviation,” exemplified by the Eclipse 500. Led by Eclipse’s founder, president and CEO Vern Raburn, Eclipse is applying innovations created in the technology industry to drive down cost, increase performance, improve safety, and spur a new type of air travel—the air taxi. Innovations to the Eclipse 500 including friction stir welding, the PhostrEx™ fire suppression system, electromechanical actuators and digital electronics with integrated software. Perhaps the company’s greatest contribution is making jet technology available to a larger segment of the population. With an acquisition cost one-third of today’s small jets and the lowest operating cost per mile of any jet, the Eclipse 500 provides the lowest jet costs ever achieved. -

BOX 1169o HERNDON, VIRGINIA 20170 703-689-4339 FAX 703-484-2103 December 4, 2003 Board of Directors Mesa Air Group 410 North 44th Street Suite 700 Phoenix, AZ 85008 Ladies and Gentlemen: We are the Officers of the Master Executive Council for the pilots of Atlantic Coast Airlines Holdings, Inc. (“ACA”), as represented by the Air Line Pilots Association International. We are writing to you on behalf of the 1,600 pilots at ACA to clearly state our unambiguous opposition to your announced intentions for our company. As we have previously stated via press release and in numerous media interviews, this pilot group and its elected leadership strongly support our current Board’s decision to transform ACA from a regional carrier into a Dulles-based, low-fare airline to be known as Independence Air. Subsequent to your unsolicited “expression of interest” of October 6, 2003, and with full knowledge of your announced intentions, this pilot group overwhelmingly approved an amendment to our collective bargaining agreement to support this transformation through wage reductions and productivity enhancements. With 93% of our eligible pilots participating in the ratification process, and of those, 97% voting in favor of the amended agreement, this ballot clearly demonstrates that ACA’s pilots are absolutely unified in our commitment to working with all ACA employees to ensure the success of Independence Air. We take exception with the uninformed and simplistic view that the ACA pilots support Independence Air only because it will provide an opportunity to operate larger aircraft. -

Analysis of Scheduled Commercial Air Service in Florida Update 2007
Florida Department of Transportation Analysis of Scheduled Commercial Air Service in Florida Update 2007 ANALYSIS OF SCHEDULED COMMERCIAL AIR SERVICE IN FLORIDA This report provides an updated overview of Florida’s scheduled commercial airline service. The original overview was based on conditions that characterized Florida’s commercial air service airports in the summer of 2000. Subsequently, an update to the original study was prepared to contrast and compare commercial airline service at Florida airports in the summer of 2000 and the summer of 2001. A supplemental update was made after September 11, 2001 to reflect changes to Florida’s commercial airline service following the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, DC. That supplement noted changes in air service at Florida’s airports between the summer and the late fall of 2001. An additional update was prepared in the summer of 2003 to address any further changes in Florida’s air service in the two years after September 11. This report compares airline service for the 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007 timeframes and notes service changes that have occurred since the summer of 2005. With data from the prior studies and new information presented in this report, the Florida Department of Transportation can benchmark changes in the State’s commercial airline service. Data presented in this report is for various reporting periods as follows: • Passenger O&D travel patterns for each market and information on average one-way fares are for calendar year 2006; this information was obtained from the USDOT. • Data on service provided to and from each airport as of July 2007 was obtained from the Official Airline Guide (OAG). -

The Very Light Jet Arrives: Stakeholders and Their Perceptions
Journal of Air Transportation Vol. 12, No. 1 -2007 THE VERY LIGHT JET ARRIVES: STAKEHOLDERS AND THEIR PERCEPTIONS Richard Cobb Jacksonville State University Jacksonville, Alabama James L. Thomas Jacksonville State University Jacksonville, Alabama Laura A. Cobb Auburn University Auburn, Alabama ABSTRACT This article summarizes the initial results of a systematic study that addressed issues related to the direct and indirect market impact of very light jet (VLJ) aircraft. Although reports in the popular press offer wide-ranging estimates of the impact that these new jets will have on existing air travel, no systematic data exists that may be of use to all potential stakeholders. This introductory study serves to describe potential VLJ users and their perceptions of this new type of aircraft. _____________________________________________________________________________ Richard Cobb (Ph.D., The University of Alabama) is a professor of management at Jacksonville State University.
