Average hours flown a year in the fractionals

[Plug]

does the X have an APU?

The Flex pilots tell me they fly 500 to 800 hours a year based on a 216 day schedule last year. I suppose that can be expected at any fractional. Most regular corporate pilots average aroung 400 hours a year making slightly more money.

I have been just around 600 hours a year. Every year.

In the Hawker fleet at FLOPS, 600 hours is pretty typical with no extended days whatsoever. That's only an average slightly less than 3.4 hours per day based on 179 days per year(8/7 schedule minus 2 weeks of vacation....for those that can actually get it). If you're assigned a green Hawker, a 35-40 hour tour is not uncommon.
