We crew Single Pilot and Crew. The Phenom 300 and King Air 350 will always be a two man crew with paxs on board. There is the occasion when a CA will repo a 300/350 single pilot, but that is an exception.
The C-90 and Phenom 100 can be crewed single pilot as well as dual crew. That is dependant on many situations. The requests of the shareowners, needs for weight vs fuel, number of paxs, etc are what make that decision.
