TMC?
My first 2 shuttle flights had a fully stocked free bar. I think people were getting too hammered and damaging stuff.
They think they are all "gangsta" and they don't have any manners. #flyingprivate, yeah in a jet owned by someone else.

My last few shuttle flights to chicago had pretty much all the bar basics, just not fully stocked. Speaking of Chicago, did anyone else see they stopped using PWK and are using MDW? And now instead of the G4, it's a Falcon 8000. Jeeze PWK didn't even last 6 weeks, I wonder what happened.

That would be very annoying. I'm not surprised at the same time though because many creative industry people would be on that route. I can think of a number of folks I know that commercially take that route weekly.

If anyone follows Kanye (I loved his old work before going downhill. His new album isn't bad
), it probably cost an arm and a leg just to get him in that picture lol.

Much as I loathe their marketing, remember that Jay Z is a big investor in JetSmarter. Ergo, he can probably pull in some favors with the Kanye crowd.

Thanks! Looking forward to this discussion continuing here!
One interesting note from today's WSJ article: JetSmarter has "more than 4,000 members". So lets assume that is an average of $7k per year, we are currently at roughly $28,000,000 annual revenues.
I wonder how much each of the shuttles costs to operate per year...
