True they do but fractionals have A LOT more bases.

As per APC profiles
CS: 25 bases
NJA: 100 bases
Flight Options: 18 bases
XO Jet: 36+
Flex Jet: 5 bases
Avantair: 39 bases

Additionally, most fractional guys' first day is an airline in to a location to meet the a/c. They usually don't dare try to schedule a customer trip with the crew airlining in, just too much can go wrong with airline flights, which is contradictory to why people would buy into a fractional anyways.
