LOL. 58 seats is not a private jet-like experience.

Ever the AC optimist, eh? More like AC's bid was so low that the teams couldn't refuse. Heck, maybe the brilliants suits in Montreal agreed to fly the teams for free, having bought the teams' argument that the marketing value of being able to say that they are the "Air Carrier to the NHL" is worth millions each year.
