There are private jets (aka baller) and there are private jets (corporate airline). I assume We was the first and Walmart the second.

I worked for a Fortune 500 that ran two commuter jets that few to each of their major sites each day.

Why did they have them? Because the volume made it cheaper than airline tickets. If I remember they billed the respective cost center $150 each way.

All the stops were in the NE US.

Still, it was luxurious compared to commercial travel. No security checks, board, close the door and take off.
