Doubleu:

appologies if I offended you. charter outfits in general have older aircraft, take a look at some statistics from the nbaa if you want.

cheaper labour translates in low hour copilots not earning that much, cheap office staff, and so on.

although in your opinion on the brink of arrogance, yes in general they are cheaper than netjets to operate. the same nbaa and some articles on ain give comparisons between hourly rates from charter outfits against the rest (fractionals, fully owned etc)

offcourse there are some good people out there, but my point was that netjets will allways loose out against the charters on a cost comparative base. so they need to shift to the part of the market where they do have a cost advantage (owning an aircraft vs leasing of fractional owning it)

my post was surely not intended to make charter outfits look bad, some of them are making netjets look like a fool.......
