AirOil Welcomes you Aboard
by Donny Rivette on Sep 25, 2008 12:45 PM EDT
A very cool log entry from Jen Sharpe of the Edmonton Oilers describes the interior amenities and services offered onboard the team's jet."The players sit at the back, the senior management in the front, and the scouts, media, web and PR folk in the middle, in that order. You don’t want to be the last one on the bus or the plane. Quite embarrassing, I hear."
That's EXACTLY what happened to Chris Pronger. Tough crowd up there.
A neat read, with the notable exception of the aircraft type (being an aviation geek, these are things I must know). As a member of the Oilers staff, at least she didn't pull the typical media response when confronted with an airplane story: it's either a Piper Cub or Boeing 747.
