Well Dale,
You could indeed take the "advice" from AA76757...but then consider....
Many companies nowadays are looking elsewhere for travel arrangements for execs. Executive Jets is doing "land office business" and has ordered hundreds of jet aircraft...for just the folks that you seem to want to...pi@@ off. Fractionals as well.
Our own little company illustrates....the major investors want to travel to SE Asia, business/first class. The last time they checked in for that SE Asia flight in LAX, the wait at security was...3 hours. When they got to the business class lounge, no Jack Danials left in the bar.
So, they ask...."is there a better way?" Of course we say....and the JetStar II (ah...4 engine Lockheed!) is now in the budget (because it can make HNL, where two of the guys have a condo)....and you can bet that the bar will NOT run out of Jack Danials.
Make NO mistake, the business/first class pax pay the bills...BIG time. Whinging pilots do NOT.
But then...many here are whinging pilots. Your guy Carty is in DC now trying to iron out the security problems (and has good ideas). Suggest you DO NOT upset the applecart.
Anyway, WELCOME to PPRuNe!!! Always a lively discussion.
In case you have noticed...some do NOT like my opinions (especially the Brits)..but then, they are not in management. But that's OK.... all views "on the table". Always have liked a lively debate.
