registration numbers anyone??
So I am sure they will charter these planes out for a charter venture for more business. Otherwise, why would you need two to fly max 15 team flights a year. Unless, they cheap really used ones that you expect to break down often..
Just hope the NE Coaches don't train the crews - the FAA frowns on making up your own! Which is the way they do things!
I have heard of teams retrofitting leased aircraft for "big and tall" guys where the cabin is all basically first class..i guess buying their own jets,having them done inside to accommodate as with the leased aircraft,is probably a better deal all the way around..and you know these teams are financially stable enough to afford it!(still have to hire flight deck crew and flight attendants however,that were provided on charters!)
Two? Do they move that many people, or are they hedging in case one is on the disabled list come game day? Maybe available for trading for a couple backs, ends, a place kicker and play to be named later?
joel..I think maybe they will be providing transportation for sports media,family members,owners and guests as well,and maybe even their teams professional cheerleading group!oh yes, and the trainers,coaches,any medical personnel and maybe even their equipment (unless they truck that in to various workouts and games)...that is a lot of "folks" apart from just the team members!
I wondered that too. Not that I should question how they live. After all, fame has its fortune.
Do you suppose one plane for team, another for *teammates? (family, kids, girlfriends, cheerleaders..et al)
