BACKSTORY
Bodybuilding is serious business. One of our clients was a top bodybuilder, and needless to say, missing out on a workout session was something he couldn't fathom. To make things worse, it was leg day, and as the old adage goes, you should never miss leg day.
His request? Remove all but two seats for himself and his personal trainer. That was definitely a new one.
That's a Cost
Sure, the client had the ability to pay, but everyone is conscious about keeping tabs on their finances. There was a tight limit to make that happen.
Up to the Task?
We did have a few days to see if it was feasible, but how would we find an operator willing to take such drastic steps to make such a material change?
That's Heavy!
Any aircraft you fly will have weight limits, and lets say he needed quite some weight up there, more than 2,000 lbs of dumbbells and equipment.
STARTED
To be completely transparent, we initially thought it was an innocent prank. Once the client started insisting and asking for progress on the inquiry, that's when we really sat down with different operators to discuss the feasibility.
Out of the 40+ operators we contacted, not a single one accepted, even though we were prepared to upfront the cost plus some margin.
At that time, we came to the conclusion that the best way was to see if we could shift the schedule for him to not miss his workout and still make it to the wedding. We couldn't convince him. After all, even superheroes have their kryptonite. So we kept pushing...
DONE DEAL!
Well, we still weren't able to find an operator willing to go to such lengths, and we understand. We made it work by digging deep into our network of private jet owners who could use the extra cash to help with maintenance and all the costs associated with owning a jet.
Of course, we still made sure the plane and its owner were flying fully legally in accordance with all FAA rules. We convinced an owner to send the jet over for seat removal and reinstatement upon completion of the flight. It definitely helped with the weight too.
THE RESULT
No leg day was missed that day. The client abided by all weight restrictions and was able to complete his two-hour workout. Once the flight was completed, the plane flew back to have all seats reinstalled.
