Sentient

[Frac Daddy]

Anyone with experience operating with Sentient; I have a question for you. Their website says that pax do not pay for empty legs. Does this mean the 135 operator pays for it?

 

[Brett Hull]

Nope. We got paid for every leg we flew for them. The customers must pay more than they would if they just chartered on their own. That's all I can think of because we did do a good chunk of deadheading for them.

 

[English]

Sentient charges a rate of near double what each leg would normally cost on the open market. That is how they don't charge directly for deadhead legs. For example, I believe a light jet goes for nearly $2100 an hour where the operator might charge in the 1200 to 1500 range.
