What do you want to know? They are an aircraft management company that's part of the Berkshire Hathoway empire...
Each aircraft that's managed has it's own crew and negotiated salaries (per crewmember). There's no affiliation with NJA or NJA (totally separate operations).
From what I hear, a pretty decent job if you can land it. Most of the EJM crews I know can commute from home (pretty much if it has airline service you're good to go). Schedules might be different from the typical "7/7" depending on the arrangement.

No clue...
If you're interested in more info about EJM, head over to *************.com and get a subscription. There are several active EJM pilots on that board that can share a lot more info than I can. From what they've said though, sounds like a good job with good pay/QOL/benefits.

Each position at EJM is different. It all depends on who you are flying for. You might be lucky to have an owner who has a very predictable schedule and few special requirements. Or you could have someone on the opposite end.
A former squadron mate of mine was making $120K flying a GIV and ended up leaving. His schedule was extremely unpredictable--he would show up for a 2 day trip, only to find out that it had turned into a 7-day one. On one trip the owner decided to change destinations enroute, leaving the crew scrambling to divert, call ahead for support, lodging and transportation for the party.
Again, it all depends on who the owner is.

EJM is an aircraft management company, which means someone decides to buy an airplane, but doesn't want to deal with MX, crews, etc., so the owner contracts with EJM. It's still the owner's airplane, but EJM takes care of MX, crew training and so forth. As a EJM pilot, my understanding is you get married to an airplane. Since its the owner's airplane, you fly when the owner wants to fly -- nothing at all set or predictable. If you have the time, in my opinion, you'd be better off going with a fractional like NetJets where you do have a set schedule. Hope that helps clarify it....
