Charter Flight Benefit

[LouisianaB]

Tell me this. What is the cost of a bus trip to San Marcos versus a charter flight trip to San Marcos.

It’s useless to talk about whether something is beneficial without talking about numbers.

No method of flying will ever be found to be cost effective. Flying is a big boy’s sport. Not to say that there may not be collateral benefits, only those with p*h*u*c*k U $$$ usually get to realize such benefits. I don’t think we have discovered fans of Louisiana who could and would bankroll such on a consistent basis. jMO

I just did a contract for a king air and Lear jet. Rates were $2100 and $4200 an hour for these small planes.

Any benefit of chartering flights is worth something, if it exists. The question is how much that’s worth, and then back to the original question, how much more is it.

The largest of corporate jets only carry 13-20 passengers. Those planes cost up to $75M and roughly $15k per hour to operate.

We will never do anything as foolish as having a school aircraft.

Need a sugar daddy donor with a plane.

As been brought up on RP, flying was one of the keys to Gonzaga’s run over the last 20 years. It appears now, maybe due to NIL, the Zags, abet still ranked, aren’t what they’ve been.

They aren't ranked

They aren't ranked

That would be correct. They fell out for the first time in over a decade.

Thats not a number.

Gonzaga, a small private university, used charter flights to their advantage. Now is it coincidence their slipping nationally is coinciding with the eruption of NIL? Paying players stupid money trumping other perks? Have donors become disenchanted with so close, yet no championship?

All their eggs are in the basketball basket, let’s just wait a year or two to see.
