Successful business people (rather like airline managers) always have an eye on their costs. What's the point in spending big bucks when you can get the same service for less?... That's the mentality.
OTOH... They are paying for a door-to-door service because it is convenient to them and they can afford it. That will usually mean that they are not interested in how bad the weather is, or how many hours the crew has flown today, or how few hours TT the pilot has, or maybe if he is even licensed for this type of operation. They have paid a lot of money for this convenience and they want to fly without being bothered about the details.
