Jetselect is mostly an aircraft management company, so your QOL, upgrade times, etc all depends on what airplane you end up on. Some are nearly all 135, some are ALL 91. The majority of their fleet is CL300s and Lear 60s, but they have other types mixed in.
Generally they hire you onto a specific aircraft N-Number for a specific owner. You will stay on that aircraft unless you request to transfer to another. There is some floating in the CL300 and LR60 fleets, but the others its just the guys on that aircraft. Mostly they want you to live within a 2 hour call out of your assigned aircraft, although recently they did post they needed a CL300 floating Captain.
