Guest glutes Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 No wonder BN demands to be flown on private aircraft by jimboi... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TampaYankee Posted October 19, 2010 Members Share Posted October 19, 2010 Means nothing to me. Thirty plus years of work with not infrequent travel and I flew 1st class only once then only on one leg. My employer would not pay for 1st or business for that matter. That is what happens when your customer is the government. Paying out of pocket was out of the question with my short pockets. I appreciate for others it may be a pain.

Guest jimboivyo Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 No wonder BN demands to be flown on private aircraft by jimboi... He doesn't demand anything from me. I provide him private travel because I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 He doesn't demand anything from me. I provide him private travel because I can. Hey Jimboi. I don't demand anything either. And, I put out a hell of a lot more then BN or any other escort. I have always wanted to go to Australia First Class. Can we work something out? Mile High Club included.

BiBottomBoy Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Not a huge deal since they correctly point out that business class today is nicer than first class was ten years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RA1 Posted October 20, 2010 Members Share Posted October 20, 2010 Oz- I think you will have to go on the airlines if you want to go non-stop first class. The Gulfstream 650 which is due out in about 1.5-2 years is the only bizjet that will go that far. Maybe some of the BBJ's will but those are just airliners with fewer seats and more fuel. First class on the airlines has certainly been a many storied thing over the years. Before deregulation is when most people think real first class existed. However, there were no lay flat seats then, nevermind an "enclosed" space all your own ala A380's thus configured. Bottom line: First class was first class treatment (then) not amenities and that is what is so often lacking these days.

BiBottomBoy Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 First time I've seen "BBJ" on this site in a non dirty context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RA1 Posted October 21, 2010 Members Share Posted October 21, 2010 Just to make sure you know what BBJ in this case means, it stands for Boeing Business Jet. Boeing has "converted" the 737, mainly, but also the 757 into jets that have very luxious interiors and extra fuel tanks to accommodate business customers. We should be so lucky.

BiBottomBoy Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Normally on escort sites BBJ means "Bareback Blog Job." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
