However in most of those airlines cases they bid Ad-Hac charter. Implying they can bid and turn down charter request. Where as in a Fractional side of 135/91K a customer is promised use of an aircraft they presumably own. I’m not sure Netjets Flexjet or XOjet can pick and choose which owner request they want to accept or turn down. Now Im sure they could tell them they can not accommodate their request for a multitude of reasons. But I would assume they would lose clients very quickly if a pattern developed.

Swift usually does Sports and military charters. Most are planned well in advance. Omni ( flown them a few times). Has concentrated on military movement charters. They usually are afforded ample time to staff trips allowing well planned out duty days and ample rest for crew.
