Yeah, I've seen some great 91 jobs. But then I've also seen 91 pilots sit around the Thomasville, GA FBO for 5 days straight. After day 2 I asked why they were hanging out there. They said the airplane owner was dove hunting, and they had to hang out at the FBO each day in case he decided to leave. They would hang out until 1700, then get a hotel reservation. Then come back the next morning to repeat.
No thanks.

In Doha, pax limo left after we did, the next morning, he found out we stayed at the Ritz and he was at the Marriott. Oops, Jepp had a cheap deal at the Ritz. I’ve done some waits at FBOs, but not many in 18 years. Get a crew car and find lunch, go shopping, play a round. In this day and age, you’re on phone so why hang out.

it is a grass is greener moment, but I wish I got the chance to just sit around the FBO more! I enjoy it! I’m usually a whirlwind from arrival to departure and could use another cup of coffee and I NEVER get to rest in the sleep room :-)
