Why is that?

Ex: Your duty day starts 05:00 and ends at 18:59. Your rest starts at 19:00 and ends at 05:00. Even if you have 8 hours of scheduled flight starting at 11:00, your are expected to show up at the fbo at 05:00 and sit. This policy is exhausting and starting at day 2, you're really feeling it. Its a senseless and dangerous policy which is a disservice to our owners who are expecting and pay for fresh and safe crews.
This is enough of a reason that I would never apply or seek to work there. That is just stupid, and as you pointed out, unsafe.

I have no experience but it seems to me that seems to be typical for almost all corporate/135/91k jobs?
