So marketing private flying to marginally wealthy people as a recession begins and they have to cut back isn't a great plan?

Sounds like WUP is moving faster and faster to extinction.

The big difference is that it a lot of soft money at Netjets where it's all salary at Gama. For some people having the money guaranteed is a big factor.

1st year FO on 8/6 at NJA is $79,750. That is salary…no soft money.

I would have to disagree…. I just can’t picture the WUP passengers that I have flown ever going back to the airlines, much less standing in line for Group C.. IMHO. Some way, they will continue to be flown in WUP aircraft..

If they don't exist they won't. They'd just go charter somewhere else.
