The pieces.
Five pieces published in the Journal, in reverse chronological order. Listed alongside the advisor's notes that close the catalogue pages, which are not separately archived.
The twelve minutes, in full.
A correspondent recently asked, in writing, how the office can promise a verified quote within twelve minutes. The answer is in the procedure.
The cost of chartering a private jet.
A working reference on hourly rates, typical charter bands by route and aircraft, and what is included in the quote — and what is not.
On opening Zürich.
A note from the Managing Director on the new office, the routings it will cover, and the correspondents already in correspondence with the desk.
A letter from the Managing Director.
An open letter to correspondents on the office's expansion through MMXXVI, the additions to the contributor masthead, and what does not change in any of it.
Empty legs, and what they are not.
An empty leg is not a discount. The office on what they are, when they are useful to a routing, and the reasons most of them are not.
Selected lines.
Five sentences from the writings of E. Whitmore, drawn from the Journal and from the advisor's notes that close the catalogue pages. Compiled by the editor.
The class is not chosen by the size of the party, nor by the impression one wishes to make. The class is chosen by the routing.
A route, in the office's view, is not chosen by distance. It is chosen by what waits at the other end and what time the correspondent intends to be there.
An empty leg is not a discount. It is a positioning flight that happens to coincide with the correspondent's intended routing — and only sometimes that.
Where a routing repeats, the office maintains standing arrangements with operators on the same equipment, the same crews where possible, the same ground handlers at either end. The fifth time to Nice ought to feel like a continuation of the fourth.
When in doubt, the office recommends the smallest aircraft that completes the routing without intermediate stop. The savings are material; the experience is not measurably different above six feet of cabin height.
Where the byline appears.
three places one will find the Edmund byline, beyond the dated pieces above.
The editorial.
A letter in each issue of the Journal, on the editorial direction of the office and the additions to the masthead.
The advisor's notes.
A signed note closing each catalogue page on the Hanover website — The Roster, Routes, and the dedicated aircraft and route pages.
The recommendations.
The office's standing recommendations across the six aircraft classes, refreshed each spring. Co-signed with the Office.

By return of post.
A short note from the office whenever E. Whitmore publishes in the Journal. No more than three or four notes a year, by the editorial calendar; some years rather fewer.
A quote, by return.
Provide the route, the party, and the window. An advisor will reach you within twelve minutes with three vetted options across the appropriate class.
