People used to think that only rich people are the only ones who can afford to rent or use a private jet. However, things have rapidly changed. Even the middle class society is trying to keep up with the growing trend by renting a private jet instead of commercial plane flights.

For those of you who have been living under a rock, a private jet is a compact and small size plane. It only has a few number of seats, and it has a capacity of 4 to 20 people depending on its size. In addition, it was originally designed for those who travel all the time, and it is also called as a business craft.

Nowadays, anyone, regardless of the status in life, can charter a private jet plane for fun or travel to airport. Although it is very expensive, you are sure to have the best time of your life.

Pilots can make really good money as a private jet pilot. A private jet pilot is a pilot who charters famous people or really wealthy people. A pilot who charters a private jet can earn well over one hundred thousand dollars a year. There are pilots who work strictly for one company. A pilot’s job is to charter the corporate workers to meetings that are in other places. A company will pay a pilot by salary. There are companies that will pay a pilot a high hourly wage to fly the private jet. The companies will even pay for the pilot’s hotel room and food and spending money when they travel. Each company that hires a private jet pilot will have different requirements that the pilot must meet in order to get hired. Some companies want the pilot to have a certain amount of hours in the air before they hire them.

Commercial airlines are trying to keep its present customer base, while luring new flyers. A mess at check in tables has been replaced by a self check in program, used all through the commercial airlines. With self help programs, passengers can use the computer to check baggage, choose their seats and pre print a boarding pass right away. Not only can you use the self help counters at the airport, all in the relaxation of your own house, on your notebook, 24-hours preceeding your take off time. Such are new items that the commercial airline industry have introduced to assist the weary traveler.
