Default FlexJet QOL/Schedule

I'm sitting on an app for FlexJet and am looking for current Flex pilots to chime in on QOL and to decipher this 208 day schedule. Am married in DEN and would have to commute. Feasible? How about pay... any extras other than per diem (tips like at NJA?) Any and all info would help.

Problem one being DEN is not a base. FLL, NY,DAL,LA are all bases. You will get 90 days to move to A base plus $4,000 for moving expenses. Base pay is 40k plus perdiem you might clear about 45 first year. 16 DAYS a month 13 bid periods and 28 day month so you get 12 days off a month.

FlexJet just announced a new base in Denver. Time to get that resume in!

Couple more questions for you FlexJet guys:

1. Of that 16 Days on a month...what's the breakdown? 7 on/ 7 off, etc.?
2. Any condideration of minimums given for experience, i.e. 121 time, etc.?
2. Any chance of lowering minimums?

I'm not trying to get around minimums. I am patiently working towards reaching them. I didn't want to sound lazy or disrespectful, however, if they are giving any considerations I didn't want to sit on potential seniority.

Thanks.

on this website it says that ONT is one of the bases, but on their website they only list Dallas, New york, and Florida. Is ONT one of the possible gateways you get to choose from?

Days on are divided up into a mix of 3,4,5, or 6 days trips..cant go over 6 without permission.

mins are hard and cant be budged.

It is a base but I don't know if they are giving people a choice of moving there or not.

Thank you so much for the help. The schedule thing is the more important news. The minimums just require a little patience. We'll see where this thing leads, but I must say i'm intrigued. I haven't really seriously considered the fractionals, but I like what I am finding out.
