Re: Corporate jets are a climate nightmare
Aviation is responsible for 2.1% of global CO2 emissions, of which I am guessing less than 1% of that is attributable to private jets. Pretty sure if we want to reduce emissions there is lower hanging fruit.

Re: Corporate jets are a climate nightmare
At 1% for private aircrafts, you are being extremely liberal.
Re: Corporate jets are a climate nightmare
If you want to reduce emissions, do you want to tell a thousand people to stop driving their cars, or one guy to stop using his corporate jet?
As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

Re: Corporate jets are a climate nightmare
Apparently neither of those is nearly as effective at reducing emissions as gluing yourself to a sixteenth century art work. It was explained to me how that works and I understood it at the time, but for some reason I can't reproduce the reasoning right now.
DId you hear the one about the jurisprudence fetishist? He got off on a technicality.

It is funny that HE thought the justification for not flying on it, or no one actually uses the jet on that leg would go over well with the public.Crossthreaded wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 10:31 pm This is my favourite one to date lol

I get it, no one I know outside of aviation understands his need for a 767.

And as for the 14 minute jumps from YYZ-YHM and vice versa with no pax? That’s him shifting the blame on the aircrew / flight department, it backfired lol.

The rich control the world. Corporate jets are not going anywhere.
Re: Corporate jets are a climate nightmare
The newest one of these short-haul shaming ‘articles’ in the daily mail points out Mark Wahlberg flew on his global from London to Dublin, pointing out it is only a 43 minute flight. Guess he should have swam like the common folk…

Maybe he needs a 767 to fly the raptors around?
