BS the everyday 121 PAX isnt the first class pax. Sure every now and again there were and are bigwigs up front but they arent your "everyday 121 pax". The Everyday 121 PAX DOES NOT ride on Netjets or in first class, Moron.

Thanks for the debate though.
That's exactly my point. How do you think most Netjets customers traveled the country before Netjets existed? That's right- on the airlines, probably sitting in first class. You lost your bread and butter and they're never coming back. You can raise fares all you want but you'll only lose more trailer trash and continue to park airplanes. Didn't they teach you this at Riddle last year?

EEeaassyy now fella.

Do you have facts on hand, statistics, that prove that 'most NetJets customers previously traveled on the airlines in first class'? Many corporate flight department have shrunk. Many VP's and what not who previously flew on the corporate jet now fly fractional. Many companies which chartered flights now fly with a fractional. Many celebrities and wealthy which formally chartered jets now fly with a fractional.

I wouldn't say more than half of the fracs customers are former airline travellers. And of the business frac flyers, I bet half of 'em still have to fly the airlines sometimes.
 
It is a big leap of between buying a nice seat on an airliner an your own jet. The bread and butter is still out there.....
 
That is a letter from four guys who would screw their mom if there was profit in it. What else would they do but go tell you to shove off. That is why we need to close the loop hole and cut them off at the knees.

Agreed...they are cut from the same cloth as the greedy bastards that run the airlines. They would sell their sister for a buck.

Apparently you dont know Jack Schitt. Netjets has grown my mostly corporations getting rid of corporate fleets and buying Quarter Shares ;). The avg 121 pax is still an avg 121 pax.

By the way i have never stepped foot on or attended Riddle, moron.

Evidently they didn't teach him about that last year at riddle. :rolleyes:

That is ridiculous. A lot of the people in first class are million milers, and they are usually middle managers at companies. The CEOs often fly on their own corporate jets, or fractionals. Not many middle managers qualify for that expense. What did very rich people do prior to Netjets? They flew their own corporate planes. As the economy gets worse, those people with their own planes ditch them for fractionals, and that is why Netjets does well. But at least we know one thing, you Netjets guys won't be flying in the back of your own jets (neither will we), you will likely keep flying our airliners (at high fares since they are bought last minute by Netjets---probably our only profitable tickets sold....thanks), and you luckily still get to experience the TSA and all that fun. You guys get to do it at least twice per tour. Enjoy it! If you need some water, ask the stew when she is not busy.......And, did you go to Empty Nipple? You probably were rejected.

Yeah, ya'll are right, it has nothing to do with crappy airline service. Why pay $300 for a round trip ticket when you can pay $5000/hr on a corporate jet? The oil speculators aren't the only ones mocking the airlines. Your best (former)customers have been doing it for years.

Wanna bet?
I just got back from my 4th of July vacation. Took a NJs plane from SNA to SDL (drove to Sedona). My wife was surprised that we were treated like owners, not low life non-revers. Drove the car plane side, had the line-guys take our bags.

That's fantastic. Once on Southwest, on the jumpseat, a stew gave me a full Coke. I almost choked up with tears. Who was I? Herb Kelleher? That was fantastic.
