I take it the new "bases" are simply new gateway cities that FJ will fly you out of to meet up with your assigned jet. Is that correct?

That list is a copy and paste from the company so if they didn't include it then it's probably not part of the base.

Ditto.

Twelve days is the minimum but highly unlikely that you'll get it. Most likely you'll be on a 16 day schedule.

How are they with current Guard/Reserve millitary folks? Can you drop trips if you have to perform duty? Would they fly you back to your home base if you're on the road? Thanks!

Is there a direct point of contact for furloughed Options pilots to express interest in a FlexJet interview?

From what I hear they are very good at working with the military folk.

You can try to bid 12 day lines, but most likely you will get 14-16 day lines if you're junior. I average a little over 15 days per bid period.

You said per bid period. It is my understanding that those are 28 day cycles which means that for your annual average would be 208 days per year!

That is a significant amount more work than netjets or fo.
