  GA flights need to be within 2 or 3 hours (or ~1 hour commercial flight) to even save time).
GA can compete in routes that are poorly served (infrequent and/or overpriced).

I read a story a couple of years ago where a group of SV execs and engineers live in eastern Oregon and commute by GA, sharing expenses.



I know of several groups like this in the Southeast US, where a couple of execs live in smaller cities (e.g. Columbus, Augusta), pool on an aircraft (and sometimes a condo) and commute to Atlanta (Peachtree/Dekalb Airport is pretty convenient to downtown) for work.

There also used to be a regular small plane service between Peachtree/Dekalb and Birmingham, AL for BellSouth personnel operated by the company. BellSouth split it's HQ between both places.
