Quite a few readers had comments on the fact that David Beckham and his Los Angeles soccer squad
travel by private jet. For Becks and the Los Angeles Galaxy it was an upgrade. The Seattle Seahawks football team are in the opposite position. For years they were the envy of the NFL as they travelled around on billionaire owner Paul Allen's Boeing 757-200. The private jet was seen as such an advantage that at times it was used as a perk to help land free agents. But all good things must come to an end and Paul Allen has sold the jet.
According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer the Seahawks are a little grumpy about losing their jet. They've gone from their own personal aircraft to chartering with
Hawaiian Airlines. Oh well boys, it could be worse, at least your new jets have pretty ladies and flowers on them.
