The only negative for me is when I have to airline to/from home on the first and last days of my tour. I hate the crappy terminals, delayed flights, crowds, etc. There are numerous threads in the fractional forum that will address all your questions. As for the payscale, it is your base pay. It doesn't include overtime (approx. 15% on top of base), tips and per diem (we use our per diem maybe once on a trip, all of our food is catered), health and dental is paid by the company for you and a significant other, and a 401K that is 5O% matching. I'm sure I'm missing other things. I'm also on the busiest fleet there and I maybe fly 40 hrs a month.
The company also doesn't mind if you use your type rating to do contract flying with a company on the outside.
NJ is currently at 2800 pilots, hiring 4OO-500 pilots a year (for the next 2 years. They want to be at 5000 pilots. We are owned by Berkshire Hathaway and have 75% of the fractional market. We also have the best contract and pay in the fractional industry.
Again, just trying to help a brother out. A lot of guys in my guard unit would like to work there but don't have the flight time. That 2500 total time is a pain in the ass for a lot of fighter guys to get. Since you have it, it gives you another option.
