Yes, all NFL teams do have chartered flights, except the Patriots and Cardinals, who own their own planes. The Pats had two planes for a time, but both were dated and small. They have since cut down to one plane and also do not grade well in team travel. The Cards of all teams, seem to have a large modern plane, and grade very well in team travel.

So, perhaps the issue the players have, is that they are flying on small dated charter flights. After all the airlines are surely losing money on these charters.
