Operations agent for a fractional?
Hello, all. As much as I enjoy flying, I also enjoy the behind the scenes work of operations. I was a crew scheduler for a year and a half, and I also work in operations in the Guard. I'm considering applying for XOJET, Delta Private Jets, Wheels Up, NetJets, and/or Spirit Jets (if they're hiring) as one of their operations agents. Basically they're all more or less a combination of scheduling, dispatch, and aircraft/crew services coordinator. I was just wondering if anyone knows what the pay and/or benefits are of such a position? Do you get any flight benefits (this would be more for the Delta Private Jets)? Thanks for the help.

I was generalizing for the different positions/companies. I'm looking at the job description of the Schedule Planner at NetJets.
I won't copy and paste the entire thing, but some items are:
"Creates the next day flight schedule by assigning flights to aircraft and crews"
"Make decisions based on factors such as MEL items, short/wet runways, second segment climb, baggage capacity, number of passengers, forecast WX......"
That's where I got the generalized statement of dispatch/scheduling. Sorry if I was mistaken. Either way, I am still interested.
