I love the "OMG look at all those rich people with their planes like O.M.G.!!1!" comments on Facebook about this picture...

So...basically it looks like TEB on your average weekday?

Geebus and I thought SDF was bad today.

Love that article... Yeah if you're chartering a jet to Vegas you're really gonna blush at a $1500 ticket?

 

[ChasenSFO]

Haters gonna hate.

Looks like Jet Aviation at TEB on a Wednesday.

Looks like a ramper's bad dream

I just picture pilots and paxs showing up right after the fight with their plane directly in the middle of that mess demanding to be fueled, catering delivered, lav service, coffee, ice, papers, window washed and on line in ten minutes. I definitely feel for those FBOs.

I don't...

Life is about what it looks like, not what it is. Knowing that, I'd hate to be the poor sap who owns that Saab 2000, while everyone around him has Gulfstreams, Citations, etc...

 

[kryan11]

I don't...

I'll rephrase that, I feel bad for the line guys and CSRs at those FBOs. They won't see any of that.

I will happily take the 2000.

I see this as proof that we are recovering from the debacle of 2008-2009.

Sometimes life just does not turn out the way you had hoped it would.

So glad I don't start work till today. I don't wanna mess with SDF or LAS right now...

On the contrary, I'd be proud to have one of the most badass props ever built. It's probably faster than most of those Citations you mention.

Which, for many of those people, was not a debacle.

I feel sorry for the charter pilots who had to explain that the airport closed to their passengers. Probably a huge cluster there.

Is what it is. It's out of the crews control, plus there are 2 other airports...
