One reason is because of the lack of military pilots coming to the fractionals. Flight time building comes fast in the civilian world, whereas the military folk build their F-16 time slowly. Majors' minimums are kept low to allow these highly trained jet jocks into their ranks.
The fractionals don't have this group in their sight, allowing them to post higher mins.
FWIW.
