Default VistaJet info

Looking for info on VistaJet.

I have a friend looking for work and is not typed in the Global or Challenger.

- Are they hiring (I looked on the Jet Aviation site and it's not clear they are or aren't)
- Pay for FO's
- Schedule
- Duty vs rest requirements
- Is Home base acceptable?

I know these guys and gals are flying more than the avg bird does.
I saw their US bookings are up 137%
Thanks

Because they own but do not operate the aircraft based in the US

I interviewed for vista when there were first starting ops in the USA, so my info is a few years old.

Home based, 17 days on 13 days off. Part 135, 10 hours of rest & 14 hours of duty. FO pay was 75k or so.

I know of 3-4 guys that were initially hired and have since moved on after 2-3yrs with the company. Great opportunity to build experience and see the world, but certainly not a place to make a career.

How many Globals operated by JA for Vistajet these days? They seem to be growing. I know the CL350s are operated by Priester.

I have a few friends who fly the Global 6000 for private owners - now that's a SWEET ride! All of them are making between $175-200K to fly a lot fewer hours.
