As recenty as 2008 Mr. Santulli himself has stated that due to 40% deadhead flights and outside chartering the flight operation has never made a profit. Initiatives were put in place to control both of the above. Outside chartering has decreased significantly along with repostioning flights. With this reduction has come the latest significant decreaase in flying.
As stated before NJA profits have always come from sales. Jet cards and other programs have only helped to limit the flight operation loss.
