I think that would be interesting too. If for example those previous trips were CAVOK and hassle free, there’d be no warning flags.
However in the same context as Sala, why would the team manager know any more info regarding the legal admin details and qualifications of a chartered aircraft than his players? I think it highly likely he’d go to a associate/company with experience of ‘charters’ to arrange a suitable flight, and assume he was being provided with a safe/legal/expeditious/cost effective trip. We’ve seen in the thread from a customer of what may be similar flights, that that assumption is an easy step to take.
