Far from it. It is far cheaper to fly first class on a regular air line than it is to charter a private flight. You are talking a few grand per hour to charter. Taking a rough guess a flight of 5 or 6 hours probably would cost 8 or 9 maybe even 10 grand. Now you could split the cost across several people I suppose but it would still most likely be cheaper to fly first class with a non charter airline.
