Jeffrey,
I asked David Berstien how much money we would generate from the BonJovi tour deal:
This is respose I received from David (see below). It appears that he never answered my question.
I spoke to David last night and asked again the same question, he again avoided .
All he spoke in reference was managing your aircraft on his 125 certificate.

Greetings Larry,
I will call you shortly but here's how the costs would be calculated:
1- Ownership,i.e. 40K per month
2- Crew/Overhead; i.e. 33,300 per month
Captain: 150K per year
Co Captain: 100K per year
Flight Engineer: 100K per year
F/A: 50K per year
3- Maintenance & Parts: On a low utilziation asset, maintenance is almost
entirely a fixed costs, driven by calendar limiters vs hour or cycle limits.
Based on a 24 month maintenance interval under MSG-3, and engines
with 8 year
calendar limits, we would call your fixed maintenance/parts
expense at: 30K per
month
4- Insurance; I do not know what you pay
5- Parking: approx US$ 150 per day in the USA
6- Professional services, i.e. legal/accounting/engineering etc ??
7- Training costs and associated travel, ??
8 - Jeppesens and tech publications; ??
9--Parts/warehouse storage; ??
10-Shipping/FedEx; ??
11- Per Diem; we pay US$ 90 per day in the USA
12- Hotels, as required; variable costs of airfares and ground transportation
13- Normal upkeep and refurbishment of interior and paint
Per Trip
1- Ground Handling (ALL, about 20 items, including de-ice,
air conditioning, tugs/lavs/belt loaders/water servicing etc etc)
2- Catering
3- Dispatch/Weather/Flight Planning
4- Nav Fees/Usage fees
5- Landing Fees
6- Slots/non objection fees/ royalties
Per Hour
1- Fuel and lubricants; average of 1,200 gallons per hour due to short legs
Of course, at the end of the day, what we are up against is the next
best alternative; for example, Air Canada operates A320 aircraft in 60
biz class seat configuration; this is the aircraft that both the
Rolling Stones and U2 used for their tours last year.
The truth is that, due to the stage lengths, whereas the bands PREFER
a full VIP exec cabin, they will use an all first class/biz class
cabin.
So, we'll see how the number come in.
IF they don't work, then, as I suggested to Jeffrey, we may want to
seriously consider
the Middle East clientelle that we routinely work with on our VIP 707 exec.
I will call you shortly to discuss.
Kind Regards
David
