Admin spend $350k on charter flights to Charleston in 2023

So their argument is it’s only an hour-long flight versus the two and a half-hour drive. HOWEVER, it’s an hour and fifteen minutes to drive to the airport they’re flying out of (Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe, PA). I don’t math so great, but that’s 2 hours and 15 minutes altogether, not accounting for any extra stops or delays. The article also mentions occasional LAYOVERS AT MORGANTOWN AIRPORT. So why aren’t they flying outta Mo-Town in the first place??? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!
