As an aside, I'd disagree with your King Air 350 stats. You net more than 10 KTAS over a PC-12.
Who in your mind is pulling off this model successfully? Although these are all businesses with slightly different stripes, they're still zebras. Jury is still out on Surf. Blackjet gone. Beacon Air gone. Wheels Up...

There's an initiation fee of $17,500 then a $8,500 annual fee, & then it still costs like $5,000/Hr. Also according to a buddy of mine that works there, if the customer wants WiFi they charge another $1,000 - $1500/HR.
Now all of that being said, it's a different kind of rich, like JJ Watt / Johnny Depp kind of rich.

Thanks for that, the hourly rates were the only thing I couldn't find on the website in 2 minutes of looking, haha. As for the Wifi, I was just going off of what my friend said.
But either way, thinking about the costs of flying, it's surprising that more people don't realize what a fantastic deal Surf Air is.

Im not sure what happened here...went from an informative thread to what seems like whining and complaining (certain people).
I think this company sounds great to work for...If you dont, then move on. If you don't like/agree with their business model...move on. If you think you can do it better, then move on and "TRY" to do it better. Simple as that. We dont need to/want to hear why you think it "doesnt" work...we do not really care.
I hope I never end up salty and jaded like some on these forums. Negative people....simply move on. End Rant! Am i out of line...
