What's the alternative for most of them? High-power bigwigs who can
justify charter or private jet travel are a small fraction of business
travelers.

The vast majority of corporate level flying is now done by middle level
managers.

How do you know? (I withdraw my statement that high-power bigwigs who can
justify charter or private jet travel are a small fraction of business
travelers, since I based it on my own anecdotal observations). Even if this
is so, how frequently does the average MLM traveler fly?

Corporate aviation is very competitive with the airlines when you
consider the cost of transporting a workgroup

But how many business travelers are parts of workgroups? How many are single
travelers? It's true that GA is skimming off a lot of business class
travelers from the airlines, but how many are left that could economically go
GA? Your statement seemed to include them all.
