Yeah, I've spent a "little time" on the 130
It's not exactly 1st class.
Hell, it's not a "class" at all, but it's a ride home, it's already paid for by the taxpayer, and you don't have to put up with the BS from TSA

Besides, we have "other aircraft" in our military and government service that could be pressed into service.

We could use any number of "executive" government aircraft available in our fleet, presently used to fly suits and generals around the world

All military. Still no need to have to screw with Customs CBP.
Just doesn't make sense!
