I’m thinking to make things more equal we should dispense with chartered flights and require all players and staff to fly economy on league approved airlines.
Also the travel distances between teams are unfair. For example San Jose has to fly to every road game, many on multi hour flights, whereas New Jersey can simply bus the team to some of their rivals. To balance this all out every team should be required to take a plane flight equal to the average team travel distance, and all teams have to stay at out of town hotels an equal number of days. An example illustration: the Rangers are playing at the Islanders, for fairness the Rangers will be required to fly to Indianapolis the day before the game where they’ll stay overnight before flying into New York for their game against the Isles the following day.
