You all can have the charters - I've done half a dozen. Only one was "ok" and that was a turn, the NCAA team showed up on time, we flew them to the city, they promptly got off and went to the hotel. We got fuel and went straight back. All the others sucked in some form or another - hours late, another was all night to and from Europe with only 14 hours there, deadheads to and from the city, hours sitting in the FBO from 11pm to 2am waiting for the other charter to get in so we could swap planes, THEN fly back to base etc.

Food? I guess the short MLB charter had some but only because I was able to beat off the FAs and mechanics who rushed the catering after the team departed. I think I got a sandwich from that.
