I have been a professional private jet pilot for roughly 15 years. I hold an ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) license, and type ratings in the the CE-500 (Citation 500 series), CE-525 (Citation CJ series), and the EMB-550 (Embraer Legacy 500 / Praetor 600). I also fly the Pilatus PC-12NGX which is a single engine turbo prop.

The largest jet I currently fly has a range of 4,000 nm and can carry around 9 passengers. The purchase price was $23MM. This aircraft can make the west coast to Hawaii, and NY to London non-stop.

I have spent time in the sales office selling what we call "Charters" (one time jet rental flights), as a full time charter line captain, and now Chief Pilot and Dir of Flight Operations for a private flight department.

I have flown a fair number of high profile people, as well as lesser known but wealthier individuals.
