Default Re: Personal Business Manager or Private Jet?

I fit floats, flys or [censored], it's trouble!

I work for a aircraft charter/aircraft management company as a mechanic. We fly a couple models of Lears, Hawkers, and a Challenger(big airplane-about 14 passenger in style).
The jet is a big ongoing expense to own and operate. Think about paying for a crew, fuel(you think filling up your car is expensive nowadays), and especially maintenance. Parts are not cheap and you have many scheduled inspections that the airplane has to go thru over the years.

The way to go if you are dying for the jet is to either charter one when you need to or get on with one of the many fractional ownership companies that are out there. Then you don't have to worry about the hassles of jet ownership.

My choice would be the buisness manager and get into a fractional ownership or just charter. I'd put my money in better places than an aircraft.
