I looked at the pricing at the last Berkshire Annual Meeting. Not a pretty number at all (can easily spend $150K on two transcons).
I know I've said it in The Box before, but the one time I had a serious walkup client for private jet service, the number they quoted me was bug-f**k nuts. IIRC the jet involved was a Citation, too. Millville, NJ origination, ferry to ACY (a 27-mile flight, BTW), flight to MIA - $23K.

What exactly do you get for your $150k if you still have to pay for tickets?
The right to pay for those season tickets. It's nothing but a money grab for the team owner.

If I were flying with a share program, it would not be netjets....there are many cheaper and possibly better :)

Try having the semantic argument with your ex-girlfriend that comparatives don't necessarily imply the initial adjective (e.g. "slower" doesn't necessarily mean "slow"). She was the philosopher, so the statement "Object X is faster than Object Y" meant Object X was inherently "fast", even if X was a tortoise and Y was a snail.

let me guess, they said NO.

I believe the low-end of the NetJets range was ~5K per hour.

If I could afford NetJets, I would expect to negotiate a discount at the Annual Meeting.

Is this correct?

I called co last night to upgrade my ticket using non-elite miles and they wanted to charge me a $150 fee. They claim the fee is based upon the status of the account on which the miles are drawn on.

Philosophy: the art and science of using way too many words to say absolutely nothing.

They thought about it and eventually said no. I got a lot more requests for helo service, and none of those ever converted either. JRB or TSS to the old Trump helipad right on the Boardwalk for a little over $4k/RT.

True - I just don't know how many of those exist anymore (especially when the card's been broken in half).
