Empty legs at Flexjet
Wondering if any of the Flex pilots can weigh in on how often they are flying empty/reposition flights. If you go to an international destination, do you ever get to layover for a day or two, or do you immediately reposition the next day? Is it common to get a day or two of reserve in a hotel if you are doing a 15 day rotation? I gather that 14 hour duty days are possible, but not as common as they were a few years ago. Thanks in advance

I find most Hotel reserves are days when one of the crew is swapping out or MX issue with the plane.
By the way, you wont find 15 day rotations, I believe the max is 14 days.
