Frac Home Basing

[Z_Pilot]

I am just now looking into the Fractional side of aviation. I know that some of the companies out there has (or used to have) home basing. After searching this forum, it looks like that is going away. However, I can't find a clear answer who does home basing and who does not. Please help.
( I am currently a pt121 pilot, the frac route sounds appealing to me if I can live in the PNW...but if there is no homebasing, then there is no commuting either)

Homebasing Y \ N

CiataionShares
FlexJet
Flight Options
NetJets

Any others?

Thanks for your help.

No homebaseing at Flex, but you will fly 221 days a year, and make less than NJ or CS, and pay bunch for health insurance.

Anyone Else?

No "home basing" but you must live within 2 hours of your base. Therefore, you will be "home based" for all practical purposes. Currently, the closest base to the PNW is SMF. Hope this helps.

NJI: NetJets International?


(sorry, I am new to this frac stuff)

FLOPS pilots use to live anywhere they wanted. Our current management has taken that away and now AnswerGuy has listed all of our bases.
