But hey, anything is possible if they're considering dropping money on CRJ200s.
Exactly! $800 covers the crew costs for one day. Pay, Two hotel rooms, per diem, and to and from transportation to the airport. They are trying to be innovative. If they can convince a diamond customer to pony up 5k an hour to fly on a private jet then their experiment worked. They do move a lot of wealthy people from rural areas to the hubs for international flying. If they have any empty leg from hub to hub it's a good marketing tool.
