My main concern is the ride from the FBO to the Hotel, that virus can stay alive in the back of an Uber, Taxi, FBO van for 17 days. (How many people were given rides in a week?)
So even If the aircraft is good, the FBO clean and Hotel room wipe down the transport link is the weak point.

That seems so excessive. Flights are empty right now. Just don’t touch anything and change your clothes before you get in your car then wash your clothes when you get home. Delta has been doing a good job cleaning seats and trays. You can wipe it down too.

The majority of the flights are empty, but tons are canceling on short notice. When those (and the next cancel) the flight you’re on is now close to full with smaller airplanes. Delta has always had the largest operation at my home airport (8 to ATL, 1 to DTW, all mainline) but hasn’t had a flight in here since Thursday with the next couple of flight not til Sunday. That traffic is now on 50 and 70 seat jets from AA and UA, and what were empty flights last week now only have a few empty seats.

After spending the week spraying down hotel rooms and socially distancing, I’d take the rental car too. Better schedule, better legroom and better “in flight” service too.

Is FlexJet still getting those Gulfstream 500/ 600’s in partnership with Qatar Executive?

You’re thinking of JetSuite, methinks. My understanding is that they were getting the first few Gulfstreams right about when corona hit. Not sure how corona will affect that.

Qatar has announced the Gulfstreams being place at Jetsuite has been suspended until further notice.

Anyone know how flexjet is with hiring potentially furloughed 121 guys? I see there's no training contract?

Last one they didn't hire any for exactly your statement. Bail at the first call back. I thought the airlines were the place to be? We all here at the 91k/135 were idiots and completely crazy for staying in this side of things. Bigger isn't always better. Lot of the na-sayers will be on the bread lines come October 1st. I hope that's not the case 1000%, I honestly dont want to see 30k plus pilota unemployed or anyone else for that matter. Maybe this will cull that argument for another good while.

I can’t get traction anywhere because of this mentality. No one will look at me because I’m 121 and I legit want out.

Yeah. I have a great many friends in your boat and I can't get them a look anywhere. I've begged borrowed and stole with no luck. Its hugely unfortunate. I think the airline mentality has come back around to bite them. Most of the guys that stayed for ridiculed by the very guys wanting to come back. I'm not saying its right at all. It isn't. However, all the talk is coming full circle. Its honestly hard to watch. Hat in hand etc. The hiring folks have the same to say each time. I think the taste is still sour from the many, not saying you at all, that picked up and left without notice and then beat their chests on the way out and looked and spoke down on the operations in which they left. It it what it is. Rather unfortunate set of circumstances for both sides.
