KRL Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 An owner/organization that wants to earn the trust of their players during this time will be thinking about chartering planes to get them to the facilities when they're scheduled to open. Of course the costs would be significant for ownership BUT if they want that "TV Gold" they need to keep their rosters as healthy as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Buffet working with the Wuhan Lab Yahoo News: March 30 2019 Let’s be real here: Warren Buffett’s purchase of NetJets has likely paid off handsomely. The “Oracle of Omaha” plunked down a cool $725 million to buy then struggling executive jet player NetJets in 1998. Since then, NetJets has morphed into the unquestioned leader in the fractional jet marketplace. In part that’s due to Buffett’s mind-blowing $18 billion investment in the company in 2012, mostly allowing it to buy a host of new planes. Other companies in the space have’t been able to keep pace with that type of capital investment. And indeed NetJets has delivered on the front of putting Buffett’s cash to work. NetJets now has 750 aircraft in operation (it had 130 at the time of Buffett’s acquisition) that whisk executives to various meetings throughout the day, of course offering a car right on the tarmac to shuttle them around town. A NetJets spokeswoman told Yahoo Finance the company has firm orders in place for about 80 plane deliveries in 2019 and 2020. But since Buffett’s big buy, NetJets has also morphed into the mode of transport for celebrities and influencers that can’t help but to post photos of their experience on Instagram. The combination of healthy corporate and influencer markets has NetJets on track to achieve solid growth in 2019, despite a fractional share setting someone back north of $150,000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Harris Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I wonder if all the one year contracts are partially due to poor liquidity of the Jets and not wanting to pay signing bonuses. Like what is going to happen to the cap with in game tix and concessions and $30 parking. TV money makes up most of the cap but still...

varjet Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 We can make a list of the reasons Mac got fired. The Enunwa, Trumaine, Wilkerson and Revis contracts are reasons enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets don’t actually fly on that plane, it was done as a promotional deal when JetBlue became the official airline of the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
