Apparently my home airport with 30 flights a day was not adequate to hire me yet someone who lived in the middle of the nowhere with only 8 flights a day got hired. They straight out told me I met all their requirements and was competitive however they don’t hire anyone in the area I live due to various airline service issues. To answer your question yes they fly all over the country.

Junior captain on the CX is Aug ‘17 hire and junior captain on the CL30 is a May ‘17 hire.

Does XOJet have the dreaded 14 on duty /10 off rest schedules like Flex Jets? In other words do they make you sit at an FBO for 5+ hours before a scheduled flight just because you are on duty? Thanks
