All four pilots help in maintaining the two aircraft and support passengers as needed. 85% of time is spent maintaining, preparing and planning for flight operations; 15% of time is actual flying. They fly 400 hours per year. All pilots act as bodyguards and butlers. you are armed with a right-to-carry permit."

What does this actually translate to meaning? I'm not so sure being a pilot/bodyguard/butler is a very good job...
This is a request for a person to be an all in one. Pilot, mechanic, dispatcher, scheduler, chauffeur, Chuck Norris, Logistics expert, etc.

A real flying job is 80% flying....20% prep.
