Hyperthetically if you were able to find tickets for $200 each roundtrip - that would equal to $22,800. Thus not a savings to charter an aircraft. I am sure there is a group discount if you do this several times a year.
Why would you fly from LGA to EWR (or vice-versa)?

Hmm ... you're talking about cash. Wonder if one could "charter" an entire flight using OnePass miles? If the "value" of a mile equates to somewhere between 1 and 2 cents per mile, that'd mean about 2 to 3 million miles ...
