What's up with Maxjet?

This could be the beginning of the end for Maxjet. Last Friday they halted trading of their stock with no reason given. A vacuous blurb on their website thanks customers for flying Maxjet and says that they will continue uninterrupted flights. Hmmm, no mention of them yanking IAD service (where they're headquartered, no less), no mention of the extremely shaking financing.

Don't get me wrong, I like Maxjet and love the fact that they've shown that there's a market out there for those willing to pay, say $500 - $1,000 more than steerage for a comfortable, humane experience, but don't have $8K to drop for a trans-Atlantic round-trip flight. Till this all shakes out, it would be in your best interest to book EOS, Silverjet or Virgin Atlantic.
