Frax ?

[Ultra Grump]

There has to be some reputable Pt 135 operators. And they are way cheaper.

Why do you post so many stupid questions on every forum on flightinfo? Don't you have P.E. or study hall or something you should be doing?

There is no such thing as PE or study hall in college.

There are alot of reputable charter companies out there that will save you about 1000$ an hour for an Bravo. But at the same time there are alot of sh!tty companies too. if you had good 135 operator and built a good ongoing relationship with them you could save about 50 grand a year on 50 hours on a bravo.

What about the cost of dead head repo time?

And a 12 hour call out time,

And use of 2,3,4 planes in a day,

And much more in insurance coverage,

And having BOTH pilots Typed (not to mention, no pilot who's a CFI trying to build time,

And a fixed, predictable fees over 5 years.

Gunfyter,

Believe me when I tell you, I've heard all the arguments before. I saw the contracts when my flight department was fractionalized and I crunched every number and not just on the back of an envelope. Trust me when I say that whole ownership or block charter are ALWAYS less expensive options than fractionals.

I'm not saying there isn't value in the program. The value is found in the convenience and flexibility fractionals offer. You may have missed them but there were articles in both B/CA and AIN in recent months that addressed many of the financial issues surrounding fractional ownership and both articles seemed to reach the same conclusion.

For what it's worth (badum bum)

I got out of this a "believe me" and a "trust me." You sound like a frat guy at a sorority party. Oh yeah, and a "for what it's worth."
