I'm sure you would be paying to get yourself to and from your base though.

NJA and NJE are owned by the same company, bit they are run separately. Customers can fairly seamlessly go from one to the other. NJA does a limited amount of inter Europe flights, but it is mostly ferries to get set up for the next customer leg back to the US or you are flying the same passengers around in Europe that you initially took over from the US. There are a lot of cabotage rules to follow so NJE ends up doing most of the inter Europe flights. Europe to the middle east and Africa will be almost exclusively NJE unless you count fuel stops on flights departing the US going to Africa or the middle east.

We don’t have any agreements that I’m aware of to work at NJ Europe. You can only work for NJ US if you’re applying to them. No it’s not possible to be based overseas with NJ US.

Yes NJ US does fly to Europe a lot and intra-Europe, and all over the world (pre COVID). However, as a New Hire, you won’t have the seniority to hold any of the large cabin airframes for at least 5 years (as of now). As a new hire, You can plan to be in the Phenom, Latitude, Sovereign, or Excel. (All based on the needs of the company). You’ll be flying to any of the islands, Mexico, North America, Central America and even possibly, South America.

They got rid of the XL’s. They’re keeping the XLS’s a little longer.

it's my understanding that the XLS is mainly being sold through the card program rather than fractional ownership, and reliability has improved significantly since the introduction of the service hubs.
