Imho owners/operators only get away with this cuz pilots let them. Big shiny jet syndrom.
The main issue (problem) here is that a previously respectable company like Jet Aviation now actively are looking for self sponsored pilots to pay to fly for billionaires. The sales team at Jet Aviation have obviously pressured an obviously weakened pilot management team into this scheme. The reality is that this is just the beginning of a downward spiral for a company like Jet Aviation, that previously would have had backing from pilots with influence on the owners decision of where to put the aircraft under management. Jet Aviation is losing its appeal by going down this road. Time will tell.
