Doubt it, who are they going to be flying around? Doubt there are many clients out there who could afford that type of aircraft for a charter/
I don't know the answer to your question. What I do know is that the contracts have already been signed but the names of the clients have, obviously, not been made public. Also, as far as the pay issue, management came to us with those numbers. And it is 5-10 airplanes out of 270. They are obviously not betting the farm on this charter thing. So no sigep_nm, the sky is definitely NOT falling over here at XJT.
