Atricle Dump - Fractional Fairytales - Private Air Charter
What IS an OODA loop?John R. Boyd was a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot active during the 1950's. In the 1970's he helped design the F-16 and then went on to promote a concept called the OODA loop.OODA stands for Observation, Orientation, Decision and Action. This is a basic pattern for how we make tactical decisions. Col. Boyd is credited with coining this term, originating and promoting the concept which has become a strategic centerpiece for multiple military campaigns.Many acknowledge that the OODA loop concept is just as powerful in business as it is in the military. But it is just as powerful and simplistic a tool for an individual as it is for these larger venues. Particularly when it comes to decreasing the downtime of employees…particularly revenue producing employees.An organized OODA loop In a paper written by Drs. Ray Curts and Douglas Campbell, they state that "The dilemma of the decision maker within the OOD

Internationalization is actually localization on a large scale. While localization means to adapt a particular service to be more accessible to a single foreign culture, internationalization means to make it accessible to almost any culture in the world. Actually, internationalization and globalization go hand in hand. Globalization is the expansion of an activity throughout the world, and internationalization is the way to achieve it.The term 'internationalization' is spoken generally in the context of software and websites. Software and websites are no longer the property of a single nation; they are becoming more and more universal. Users all over the world access the Internet, and the Internet in general, can make the whole world a single global community. This is the reason why many companies are spending billions of dollars on internationalizing their websites and software.The first aspect of internationalization is to effectively cha
"At last," the people thought, "there is an affordable alternative to commercial airlines and private air charter. No longer will I be at the mercy of someone else's set schedules and destinations. I can fly where I want, when I want. No longer will I have to suffer interminable lines, deal with impersonal clerks, or eat indigestible meals. I will have my own private jet at my beck and call!"
But, like all fairy tales, there is more myth than truth in this tale. In reality there are few, if any, advantages to fractional ownership over private air charter.
FAIRY TALE:
Fractional ownership is more convenient than private air charter.
THE REALITY:
While it may seem that ownership, even partial ownership, of a private plane affords unparalleled convenience, the reality is far different. Whether the issue is a last minute booking, scheduling an intricate itinerary, or making certain that specific accommodations are attended to, private air charter can generally meet or exceed the services offered by a fractional broker. For example, while many fractional companies offer an eight-hour booking to take-off guarantee, Air Royale typically provides you with an aircraft in three hours or less. With over 5,500 private aircraft in our worldwide network, a take off can often be arranged within minutes of picking up the phone. And with Air Royale, you will have unparalleled choice in the type of aircraft you can choose for your flight, from a 8 passenger Lear Jet to a lavish Boeing Business Jet to a commercial airliner. While fractional ownership does permit you the option of flying in a type of aircraft other than the one you partially own, such an option requires complicated conversions of flight hours and often extra operating costs, and, with the limited fleets of most fractional operators, may take extra time to arrange.

Imagine for a moment that you get a call from a good friend…They invite you to dinner to discuss something “very important”. You have no clue what this “very important” subject is, but they’ve peaked your curiosity and accept their invitation. You have other things to do but are dying to know what’s so darn important that they’re willing to buy you dinner. After all, this friend is the biggest penny-pincher you know, they never buy you anything, let alone dinner!They pick you up from the office and take you to the nicest restaurant in town. You think to yourself: “Wow, this must be really important if they’re taking me here!”…After a brief wait in the lounge, you are seated at the dinner table with your friend and you place your drink order.You just can’t take it any longer, you break the tension with a question: “So, what is this very important thing you need to discuss with me?”They reply with, “Oh, nothing, it’s n

A recent survey by Salary.com shows employee productivity may not be all that employers would like. According to the survey, “the average worker in the US admits to frittering away 2.09 hours per eight hour workday”. This figure does not include lunch breaks or other scheduled break-time.In Wisconsin for example, for every eight hours work an employer pays for, the employee is likely to deliver less than six. Respondents admit to wasting 2.8 hours on activities such as: • Surfing the Internet for personal use • Socializing with co-workers • Conducting personal businessTake out employer sanctioned time off such as lunch breaks, vacation time and sick leave and the productivity picture looks even worse.According to the survey, the number one time-wasting excuse is “Don’t have enough work to do,” reason enough for many to consider outsourcing over hiring. Since a whopping 33.2% of respondents cited this as their
FAIRY TALE:
The hourly cost of flying in a fractional aircraft is much lower than private air charter.
THE REALITY:
While the hourly charge of flying your fractional aircraft may seem to be hundreds, or even thousands of dollars lower than private air charter, depending on the class of aircraft, the true story is more complicated. Consider the fees the owner of a fractional must pay: in addition to the purchase of the share in the aircraft (hundreds of thousands to a million dollars or more), there are also monthly maintenance and operating fees (hundreds of thousands of dollars a year), along with insurance (more tens of thousands of dollars). And on top of all that, you will still pay an hourly fee for flight time. In contrast, when you book a flight through Air Royale, all you are paying for is the flight. When you add up all of these costs, Air Royale's hourly rate may be anywhere from one-half to one-third less than the typical fractional aircraft company's total hourly rate for a similar class of aircraft. You should also be aware that the monthly operating expenses charged by fractional companies are generally much higher than their actual costs of maintaining and operating the aircraft. Also, when the fractional company sells the aircraft at the end of the term of your contract, you will only recoup a fraction of your original investment. With Air Royale, there are no hidden fees. You will be quoted the total cost of the flight you've arranged, and that's all there is to it.
FAIRY TALE:
The fractional company's aircraft are all brand new, so they must be better and safer.
THE REALITY:
At Air Royale, we know the importance of safety. We also know there is more to safety than simply the age of an aircraft. All of our network aircraft are rigorously maintained according to FAA standards, and each is equipped with the latest avionics, including GPS and Traffic Collision Avoidance Equipment (TCAS) to ensure your safety. Our aircraft owners embrace independent safety auditors such as Wyvern, Q-Star and A
