I’d like to pick some up, but I’m confused on why they tend to spend quite awhile in OT. I would really like a trip that reports at 1700 and releases at 0230. That’s not much TAFB for 10:30.
So what are the Buyer Beware items on these things? What am I missing?
Charters can be both a good deal and frustrating. Especially ones that go late into the night. I have had some that went well and others where we waited around while the charter coordinator tripped over himself trying to get W&B right.
