random question from the newb
Hi all,
Im currently workin on my flying and trying to decide what route to go. I dont know to much about the fractional side of things. Is it like corporate? If you fly some people to a location do you stay there and hang out as long as those passengers are out or do you return the plane and someone else will pick them up? For example: Say your flying some pax from dfw to lax or maybe some place international, and they will be there for most of the day or maybe even a few days. Do you wait till they are done or will another crew take care of them?
Thanks,
pilot_man

Fractional guys don't sit much at all from what I see.

The longest I've waited on pax this year is 6 hours, but unless you have taken them far away from anywhere else, it is rare to sit like that. They usually have another place nearby for you to fly and take different pax from. Some of the long international flights (speculation here since I don't do them) probably sit a lot more to wait since the cost of flying many thousand miles empty to go back and do more and then sending another empty later to pick up is more expensive than letting it sit.
