njaowner IS CORRECT NJA is not a discount carrier like the other fractionals..You get what you pay for. This is the price take it or leave it. Thats why NJ is successful and the other Fracs are not.
I would not necessarily agree that that is the reason NJ is successful. From the sitting in the back and the owner's experience, I think FJ is top notch. There are some ways I think it is better than NJA. There are certain aspects of the Flexjet program which are much more "owner friendly" and flexible; however, there are also some economic terms of Flexjet's program which are not owner favorable.
I do not know Flex's specific business plan, but I think they are taking the long term approach to try and have asuccessful fractional business, but even if they don't they are moving airplanes for the parent and introducing many people to the Lear product whi may end up buying one. NJ does not have any other business to corss-sell its owners -- it is trying to make money as a fractional provider.
Pleae don't bash FJ at my expense -- I have been very happy with them as well.
Fly safe.
