I too am sorry that your job sucks.
If the airlines could figure out how to keep from wasting peoples time (money) perhaps the folks who charter might consider getting back on the majors.
Do not forget that a signifcant group of professionals work in the G/A sector. I, and the firm that I work for, are supporting the majors through our tax dollars (bailout). Evertime an airplane over 6000lbs(?) goes out on charter the customer must pay a FET tax of 7.5%. Consider a $100,000 G-III charter to Europe. That is $7500.00 fee. Not to mention the local taxes, local landing fees, ect. I think that Mr/Mrs charter customer is taxed enough.
No one ever taxed themselves into prosperity.
It is becoming too cheap to charter these days and those of us who want to return to the airlines ASAP don't want to keep losing out to the fractionals and and private aircraft.
