Courtney AsherGUEST
And that was to help subsidize the cost of renting an airplane.
Courtney AsherGUEST
But I met a pilot who worked for NetJets and he was like, Oh, I actually have a multi-engine.
Courtney AsherGUEST
I, it was a twin command sheet.
Courtney AsherGUEST
He's like, I got a twin Comanche out of St. George, Utah that I do multi-engine time building.
John OdegardGUEST
That all, uh, they, they, uh, joined together with Flight Options in 2002 and, and then have evolved since then under, uh, under the Directional umbrella and the Flexjet umbrella, which has been, which has been great.
John OdegardGUEST
Uh, for me, in 2002, um, I was approached by NetJets to, to, uh, take a territory sales position out of Chicago.
John OdegardGUEST
I was living in Minneapolis at the time and, uh, and so I made the move to NetJets, uh, in 2002 and ran a four-state, uh, four-state territory to start with, uh, out of Chicago.
Alasdair WhyteHOST
And did you enjoy that? In 2002, the market was booming, wasn't it, when you went there, presumably?
John OdegardGUEST
Market, market was good.
John OdegardGUEST
Uh, you know, NetJets was, was g- you know, really on a big growth trajectory.
John OdegardGUEST
Um, and, and so it was great.
John OdegardGUEST
I mean, great company, uh, great territory, uh, just a, a good opportunity to, to grow as a salesperson, to, you know, to hone the craft a little bit more, learn a lot and, uh, you know, and kind of go along on that ride.
Paul JebelyGUEST
Fleets in the world flying these aircraft are American.
Paul JebelyGUEST
So NetJets, FlexJets, Wheels Up, Thrive, Bond, right? So a ban on Bombardier orders is functionally a ban on American aircraft buying the aircraft they've already ordered.
Paul JebelyGUEST
And again, this is the fact that the system that we operate in, it doesn't care about the intention behind his input.
Paul JebelyGUEST
The North American, and frankly, the American aerospace supply chain took sort of 80 years to integrate into the global economy, and it doesn't reverse gears over a long weekend or a Labor Day post.
Preston HollandHOST
Good for you.
Preston HollandHOST
The people that I wonder if they do have to worry about it is folks like Flexjet, Bond, NetJets, Thrive, who will come up later in the show, right? These people who have these big orders.
Preston HollandHOST
I wonder if they're wondering, "Hey, you know, how long, is this, is this one gonna stick? Is this for real this time or not?"
Jessie NaorHOST
Yeah, and he even joked the last time that he threatened something against Bombardier, or, you know, when we were trying to get, he was trying to get the Gulfstream certified, that they caved in, like, two hours.
Eric EricksonHOST
Um, uh, there are a lot of famous people who have their jets.
Eric EricksonHOST
If you fly NetJets, they have the Bombardier jets.
Eric EricksonHOST
And you know where they make them? Kansas.
Eric EricksonHOST
They make them in Kansas.
Mohnish PabraiGUEST
Okay, so I saw a person who was very wealthy, who didn't see any reason to frivolously use his wealth.
Mohnish PabraiGUEST
And, you know, Buffett said that eventually they were able to convince Charlie to get a share of NetJets.
Mohnish PabraiGUEST
He said, Buffett said it was a very tough sale to get Charlie to buy internet jets, okay, for private flying.
Mohnish PabraiGUEST
And I talked to Charlie about that.
Mohnish PabraiGUEST
And I had a headache.
Mohnish PabraiGUEST
I had a bad headache.
Mohnish PabraiGUEST
So he said, I called NetJets.
Mohnish PabraiGUEST
He said, $80,000 later, I was home.
TowerHOST
The fractional ownership world is watching this too.
TowerHOST
NetJets, FlexJet, and others run significant Bombardier fleets.
TowerHOST
FlexJet in particular has been a major Bombardier customer, operating Challengers and Globals as core fleet types.
TowerHOST
When you talk about tariffs affecting Bombardier, you're indirectly talking about the economics of fractional aviation for tens of thousands of cardholders who never think about trade policy when they call to book a trip.
Sean SpicerHOST
but, but, but yeah.
Sean SpicerHOST
[laughs] It's like, it's like NetJets, but different.
Dan TurrentineHOST
Okay.
Sean SpicerHOST
Um, so [laughs] I, my point is, is that, like, this is not gonna get carried on the networks.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
Some are owned by individuals and placed in management programs.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
Some are owned by fractional companies like NetJets and sold in shares.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
The fleet is fragmented.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
The brokers sit on top of that fragmentation? The brokers are the market makers.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
The broker's knowledge is the inventory.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
What about the big players?
CornHOST
NetJets, VistaJet?
Herman PoppleberryHOST
They're trying to standardize the product.
Bert BottaGUEST
No, I take that back.
Bert BottaGUEST
At the ripe old age of 61, I went back to work for applied and got hired back with NetJets as a first officer on the Citation 7.
Bert BottaGUEST
And that was before NetJets became what it is today.
Bert BottaGUEST
It was pretty much, how should I say it, a low-budget operation.
Bert BottaGUEST
And then I flew on the Citation 7 for about a year and then upgraded to captain.
Bert BottaGUEST
Flew the Citation 7 for about two years and then the G200, a Gulfstream, came along and I upgraded on that.
Bert BottaGUEST
Nice little airplane.
Bert BottaGUEST
Flew with NetJets for, oh, also they found out that I had been doing pro standards work, professional standards committee work at TWA.
