A friend says their charter side is super slow and glad his owner is not relying on that income.

Yep. I know we are a fractional but our 135 flights are just as plentiful as ever.

That's hardly a contribution Jetlife. Netjets is an airline for the ultra rich. Irrelevant in terms of the 135 market. I am looking for other 135 pilots experiences in terms of being busy or not. Have they noticed a slowdown in trips. Are they sitting around waiting for the next trip for days etc. Has the amount of hours flown in the last year decreased etc...

You asked if there has been a charter slowdown. Our charter side hasn't slowed down. Sorry if you don't like the answer.

This is not about you Jetlife. This about other businesses other than NETJETS.
Now if you don't mind..

No need to be butthurt. Maybe update your title to exclude companies that run charter that you don't want to hear about.
