Nice. So the duty/ rest times are modeled after 121?

Not at all, part 135.
The really nice part is getting overtime while sitting in the terminal waiting for our flight home, newhires thats $40 an hour, and if your airline is late for any reason and you get in after midnight you get 2 extended days (3 days pay $940. for a newhire).

But, the really cool Citation drivers are "X-rated".

Hey! The X is a cool plane, but it comes with the worst working conditions in the company! :-) U-Boats rock! :-)

I for one would enjoy the unpredictability of not knowing where you're going to next, of flying into and out of all kinds of airports. For adventure seekers like myself, airline flying would probably get monotonous pretty quickly, and a little bit of spontaneousness helps to make life interesting. It probably helps that I come from a background as an over-the-road truck driver, and as such never knew where I was going to get a load to next, nor did I have any kind of predictable schedule. I think the 7 on/ 7 off schedule really appeals to me also. I would use the time off for both other business and personal pursuits.

I'm with you on that one too. I came from the airlines and I was nearly dead of boredom after 9 years. I love the dynamic nature of the NJA operation. I don't really care where I go each day because I know I won't be home anyway. I got 8 nights at home and 6 nights on the road; where they send me while on the road is neither here nor there.
