Talk:Business jet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This needs a disambiguation page as Bizjet is a company and bizjet automatically gets routed to "Business Jet"
[edit] What about companies that offer dead leg seats?
I have heard they are out there. I just do not know of any. A dead leg is when a private jet flies someone from Point A to Point B but returns to Point A while the person stays at Point B. It later returns to pick that person up.
Suppose Bill Gates is going to fly from Redmond, WA to Martha's Vineyard for a vacation. His jet might return to Remond. This return leg might be to allow the jet to be serviced or fly someone else somewhere. This trip back to Redmond is a "dead leg" because the jet's owners are not assured of a paying passenger.
Later, the jet will need to return to Martha's Vineyard to pick Gates back up and take him home. However, since the jet is somewhere other than Martha's Vineyard, it must make another dead leg trip.
As I understand it, there are companies that sell seats on dead leg trips for those jet owners. However, Wikipedia does not appear to have a dead leg article. Nor does it mention dead legs in the private jet article. Will 01:25, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- That's interesting. We don't have much about the detail of the bizjet charter business in the article whatsoever, which should be added (but unfortunately, not many of us get to experience bizjet chartering all that often...). --Robert Merkel 02:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
