Business Jet operator profits...or lack thereof

[trainer too 2]

Look, this is an emotion industry not a business:

1. Guy with too much money from, let's say real estate, starts flying private
2. Guy likes flying private buys own jet
3. Guy listens to his pilot and rents out the plane as the rates on the market are "great" according to his pilot
4. Guy starts an AOC company first or buys one to be able to lease out his aircraft and hey lets buy another aircraft!
5. Two years later: no profits but a lot of hassle: sells company

Just around this time just down the road there is a guy with two much money......
I have seen your questions before about loadfactors etc... this is not a business and no there is no money to be made... The only companies around that have been there for a number of years are management companies... Forget it
