It occured to me as I was responding to another thread that the issue of how fractionals can become more profitable while increasing QOL for pilots would be something I would be interested in hearing others opinions on.
For instance, we waste a TON of cash for the benefit of unneccesary flexibility. I cannot tell you how many times I have airpassed 1200 mile trips into one airport to sedan to another to be there "just in case" when they could have just waited a couple hours and flown me into the right airport for $300-400. This would save almost $1000. Inceasing gateways might help with this... Also restructuring our catering plans might help -- I know we spend a lot of unneccesary cash there too. I appreciate being fed, but a $30 ham sandwich is overkill. Also, they might considering partnering with some of these big hotel chains -- like 10 hour jet cards to award their top execs in exchange for $50 room rates across the system for on duty pilots.
Any other ideas?
