In the grand scheme of things they are very very crap.
Yeah, those really sweet fractional/corporate are extremely difficult to come by....if someone told me I could choose between XJT, Flight Options, or Avantair, it wouldn't be a tough choice. No offense to those guys at all, I'm just not a 7 on 7 off kind of person. I like having union protection and a good contract. I know a couple guys flying charter at different places. They may fly less, get paid more, but they have like 2 hard days off a month, the rest of the time they're attached to their cell phone.....waiting.
