Well jokes on them: If they lure people in using fantasies of shorter tours and then pull the rug out from under them when training is over, some people will bail and there goes $40,000+ in training costs. And that is completely on Flexjet. Why they aren't just up front about that is beyond me.
4 day runs are absolutely possible, you just have to get senior enough to have them awarded. It also helps if you live in a base that is well served by airlines. If you're going to bail because you're not able to get 4 day lines in your first 6-9 months then this place probably isn't a good fit for you long term anyways. At this point DRL captain is sub 18 months and then as long as your airplane is covered you can work as many 4 days as you want.
