Not sure if you noticed but the AFL bank balance took a huge hit last year, and they had to take out a 600M loan to keep the competition going.If the New England Patriots can afford a couple of Boeing 737s why can't the AFL buy one for all the teams to move around the country? I'll bet there are few going cheap and there are plenty of pilots available!
Buying and running planes, would take money out of their pocket.
The Virgin sponsorship and using their planes, puts money into their pocket.
