Minimums?
 

Minimums for fractionals are generally higher than the majors. Why is this? I have also heard rumors that military experience is weighted more heavily and that you may not need to meet the total time minimus if all your experience is military. Can someone please confirm or reject this speculation?

Thank you all

One reason is because of the lack of military pilots coming to the fractionals. Flight time building comes fast in the civilian world, whereas the military folk build their F-16 time slowly. Majors' minimums are kept low to allow these highly trained jet jocks into their ranks.

The fractionals don't have this group in their sight, allowing them to post higher mins.

FWIW.

Flight Options doesn't look so high to me, they have actually lowered them

I appreciate the info... these minimums are a lot less than what I have seen from this industry... (ex. NetJets wants 2500 TT)

Thanks again
