I looked at the link, no times listed, and the website also doesn't include any minimums.

I've been told about 3000hrs. I heard they would consider lower if you have 1000hrs or more of T jet time

The minimums are posted on the website. They are just difficult to find. Basically 2500 TT and some number of multi time.

They are a very good company and are well poised to handle the rising cost of fuel. Well, about as well as possible. The airplane does about 400 kts and burns fuel like a King Air. They don't get the attention Net Jets does but they are definetely a good place to be if you don't want to be just a number in four or five thousand .

Does anyone know how their bases work? Like can you choose any of them listed? Do you have a sced out of your base or is it just like being home based at net jets and they commercial you?

Are any bases senior or junior? I would be interested in BWI

Does Avantair require you to sign a training contract? I heard $18,000 for 12 months. Not pro-rated.
