I fly a corporate B727 for both the corporate owner and on charters. Charter business is booming. Up by 105% by some accounts.

I spent last week mostly flying Saudis out of the U.S. - they were very pro-Western, but were fleeing the current "anti-Arab" climate over here. 45 block hours and 4 Atlantic crossings in 7 days (all legal).

I turned down a request to fly the bin Laden family from the U.S. to Europe, mostly because my crew was uncomfortable with it. I understand that Ryan Air (U.S.) flew them out recently, although they had trouble finding volunteer crews to work the trip.
