Anyone Know About These Companies?

[Resume Writer]

Hi Everyone,

I saw an article on MSN about executive travel. They named these two operators that I have not heard of before. Anyone fly for them or know about what equipment they fly?

"Sentient Jet, based in Norwell, Mass., operates on a fully refundable membership program, which works like a debit card that can be applied to flights. Members open an account, which starts at $100,000, and all flights are deducted from that amount. Onboard catering is included, as well as concierge services. Rates start at $2,850 per hour on a light aircraft.

Hermosa Beach, Calif.-based SkyBridge Private Air offers on-demand chartered jets, which means that anyone can book a plane at any time. Booking a plane for 13 passengers flying round-trip from New York to London starts at $69,000. While this may sound steep, a typical business-class ticket on that route costs $6,000, or $78,000 for the entire group."

Sentient (formerly e-bizjets) is a broker. They own exactly 0 airplanes. They just take your money (about twice what you could arrange a charter for on your own) and arrange the flight for you on one of their approved charter companies. I used to do a lot of Sentient trips at my previous employer.

Not sure about the other.
