JetSuite Adds CJ3s to East Coast Flying - More Competition for Fractionals & Charter

[brokeflyer]

The founders of Jet Blue and Zappos (online shoes retailer) are investors in JetSuite. Seems to be growing fast - adding CJ3s to their East Coast operation to accomodate NY-FL flying.

im stunned....i gotta lie down. So they got big investors and all that.

yet they pay their pilots poop.

It's another dirtbag operation, no intentions of leading the industry. Just out there to make a fast buck for the top 10 guys.

Why all this 135 bashing. I'm sure everyone here walked into a GIV on their first day of passing their ATP....

If they've deep pockets enough to maintain their airplanes and provide crews with adequate rest, why should we care what they pay. $100k for 18 days a month is pretty good flying a CJ3...

This arrogance needs to end.

you completely dont understand the point. 100k for 18 days is garbage, but if that's ok with you then that's all you'll get.

think about it.

For a little comparison's sake...

2012 NBAA Light Jet (10-20k lb MTOW) Part 91 Captain compensation is a national average of $85,542 base salary; 75% is $100,000.

Is it true jet suite pilots are paid on the Hobbs meter?

Ah,.....no. Where the heck did that come from?

Daily rate with a monthly guarantee, extra for duty over 12 hours, extra for working extra days .... and free cookies at the FBO!

First of the "conforming" JetSuite edition CJ3's was just delivered from Cessna. They will fly two non-modified Citation Shares planes until Cessna provides replacements with the red stripe, WiFi, and other mods.
