USMCFLYR, I apologize for being a smarta$$. Kind of emotional time for us guys at the bottom right now. In the fractional world under the owner contracts a bigger plane can cover a smaller plane's trip but not the other way around. So the BBJ can cover a Beechjet trip but obviously a beechjet cannot cover a BBJ trip so by this method the bigger the plane the more trips you can cover so you work more. Trust me your FA-18 is way more fun than any plane you will fly in the civilian world and better job security. We have quite a few guys here at NJ that wish they were back in the military (and some are getting back in) Most of us are hoping we can better our lives enough in the next 5 years to not have to take a callback to NJ.
