First if you can figure it out and bottle it you might make some money.

However, my bets are on these:
1. They actually like traveling to foreign ports over layovers in DSM, IAH, IAD,...
2. They really don't like the cockpit on the guppy.
3. They have "friends" in foreign lands.
4. They like the old captains.

The best part is people have a choice about where they liv, what they fly and what kind of lifestyle they can choose. It doesn't get much better than that.
