Just an FYI, I only know what I've read here about JetLinx, but on the NetJets Pilots union message board today several pilots who have CE-680 type ratings say they have received unsolicited cards from JetLinx.
From what they said they're having trouble filling the Sovereign slots in HOU and don't want to use contract pilots.

They can’t use contract guys since they are 135 and have short notice trips. JL is a good gig, they will work you really really hard but the pay is above average with some overtime incentives and the benefits are better then most 135 companies. I almost jumped ship to join them about 3 months ago but it just wasn’t a good time since I had started my current job a few months before and I didn’t want to burn that bridge.
The HOU operation is booming right now BTW, they’ve grown to almost 15 airplanes within 2 years and they aren’t slowing down apparently.

And today I read a NetJets pilot with a 680 type got cold-called by a Jet Linx recruiter. They probably didn't realize he flew for NetJets, I would guess they're just going off an FAA database. A Captain at NetJets working 18 days per month vs. the standard 7/7 schedule will make over $200K/year. And all days off are guarantied.
I can see where Jet Linx might be attractive to someone already living in a base since they won't spend as many nights away from home and don't have to spend a lot of time riding in airliners.
