[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1000010, member: 22880"] If Express wanted, they could fly individuals on commercial flights (put the top execs in First Class). If they were flying "teams" out, they could lease time through NetJets, for FAR LOWER cost than maintaining a fleet of exec jets. The Express exec jet fleet exists for one reason and one reason only - POLITICAL FAVORS. Politicos that fly on corporate jets are only required to pay what the going rate for a one-way First Class fare would be. The operating costs of these aircraft is in the neighborhood of $2500/hr. First Class fare is between $1500 and $3000 on average (depending on distance). Express takes a "loss" on every flight they provide. What they lose financially, they MORE than make up in getting favors in return from those who fly Fred Airways. [/QUOTE]
