Empty Leg Stale Listing Trap
A mission's cost and feasibility assumptions are compromised when advertised empty-leg flights are actually stale listings used for lead generation rather than verified, available repositioning aircraft.
Decision Question
Is the advertised empty leg tied to a verified, real-time aircraft movement, or is it a static marketing asset?
