I think there are around 13 757s currently that do the nba flying. Then the nba leases them to other leagues when not in use. Also some football teams charter WBs.
I think the neos take over in about 18-24 months. I’d have to dig up the press release.
also, you can visit charter desk in occ (coordinate in advance), and they can chit chat about charter ops
