I was told that IBM rented a Saab 340 from Colgan Air about a year ago to shuttle employees in the Northeast. I am not sure if they are still doing this though...

One other thought: RTP and the mid-Hudson valley are both filled with IBM sites. I presume Southeast secured some kind of commitment from IBM that they'll let their employees use Southeast for their trips back and forth. Can Austin be far behind? Boulder? Rochester, MN? San Jose is a bit of a stretch for these planes, and the IBM sites at Endicott, NY (BGM) and Burlington, VT, might not be large enough anymore to justify such airline service, but there might be some other domestic IBM city pairs that make sense. This isn't quite like the Daimler Chrysler Airbus 319, but there may be flights when it's an all IBM cabin. :-)
