StopStart,
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but all of your idea's have already been put into effect by the Canadian Armed Forces years ago.
We also thought that on stop overs, we could map out the closest McDonalds. We could then have a look through the garbage for old hamburgers. (cuts down on TDY costs)
If at a civilian airfield, we could be issued with redcaps inorder to carry passenger's luggage. We could at least then try to pay for the fuel we were using.
