. Unless they will be on vacation at Disney! If you are in a 121 situation already you should read up on the whole Netjets page about how life is on the road. I am sure xo jet is about the same but with less pay and benefits!!!!!!
You are correct that the flying is very similar to Net Jets. However, XO has some major perks that increase QOL. Net Jets has their pilots sitting standby at the airport ALL THE TIME. When your last leg is done or your aircraft breaks at XO, you go straight to the hotel, with a rental car if desired (no rentals at NJ), even if you've only worked 2 hours.
You'll still be on standby until your duty day is up, but you'll be comfortable.
