A former Air Force pilot who now flies private jets shares what her job is like — it's not as glamorous as people may think
Private-jet travel is often associated with luxury and extravagance. But as a private-jet pilot, Laura Schmutzer can attest there's more to it than people might expect.
Contrary to what some might think, not all clients of private-jet companies are VIPs or celebrities. In fact, many of the clients are small-business owners who own multiple car dealerships or rental properties. Schmutzer said small-business owners and entrepreneurs take advantage of Jet It's day-use model.
She said that while the long hours can be demanding, pilots always get at least 10 hours of rest, and work eight days on with six off. Jet It provides unlimited PTO for its pilots to ensure they're well-rested, Schmutzer added.Many of the destinations are in rural parts of the US and not luxury locales
