What is the best part of Jet It and the worst?
How many pilots and active aircraft?

No idea on staffing at this point.

Or flight planning and I can't find a legal alternate that I can make it to on a leg and the chief (who isn't there anymore) tells me I can file to a destination I don't have fuel to make it to with a legal alternate there and just divert somewhere else that's convenient. In his words, "there's the law and there's what we do". Glad I was recording all the calls with the company at that point.
The DO called me up one day and told me there was no reason I couldn't do tamiami to teb. I emailed him the flight plan and the part where we can't put that much fuel in the airplane and he says, "well you have to try".... Uhhhh no. I don't. So we dispatched like I planned with a stop in ilm.
None of this surprised me after the stories I heard from people who flew with the CEO who was landing with the low fuel alarm going off like no big deal.
I was pretty impressed they never augered one in whole I was there.
My first day, I get in the jet and the guy I'm flying with turns to me and says, everything is done, checklists are all completed and just started taxiing...

Yep, sounds about right. Unfortunately things have gotten much worse.
