It ebbs and flows but overall I'd say it has not slowed down, especially looking at the week ahead.

April was pretty slow but May looks like it's going to be very busy. Picking up quite a bit on NetJets overflow.

I have spent the last 11 days on trips and head out for another 4-day tomorrow. Busiest we've been all year. Naturally the clients seem to be fixated on finding the worst wx in the country for each stop. Clear and calm? No sir!

Going to Teterboro when the weather is decent is super lame.

Default slow down

Last year about this time things slowed some. I did fly everyday on my last rotation 9 on/7 off. Spoke with some friends at different 135 and they are busy but its due to staffing issues. We are starting to have same problem with staffing... mainly due to pay.

We are super busy and are short on pilots, so obviously it's compounded into 12+HR days and long rotations. But a steady uptick in flying for sure.
