........., if you have to ask how much they cost to run, you can't afford it in the first place!
I hear this regularly, It's idiotic. heck it's as dumb as saying an aircraft at FL410 can afford to plunge 20,000ft as it still won't hit the ground. It shows no understanding at all about what business is about.
Running aircraft about empty is a waste of resources and as the public perceives it a huge negative of this industry, so calling for move of it is super dumb.
Ga/Biz Av need fair and reasonable access to all airports...it's as simple as that.
