Interesting concept. Just for fun, I decided to see how it would work for say a
BBJ. I visited the Boeing site at
http://www.boeing.com/commercial/bbj/html/index_html.html and got the following numbers:
Cost of the aircraft: $40,000,000
Fixed maintenance costs per year: $1,000,000 (Excludes depreciation)
Operating costs: $1,800 per hour
There are roughly 14,000 registered a.netters. Let us say you get 10,000 of them to sign up. (Highly unlikely I know but so is this whole scenario
)
Each will have to pay $4,000 upfront plus $100 a year in maintenance fees for a chance to use the aircraft for one day sometimes in the next 27 years and pay $1,800 an hour for the privilege!
For me, I would just save that money and get myself a first class ticket to somewhere really nice!!
