My thanks to everyone for responding to the questions regarding the creation of an environment that pilots would enjoy working in. I really appreciate your help.
FWIW, the average break even point between fractional and direct ownership is about 300-350 hours per year. Above this rate and direct ownership is more cost effective. Below this rate, fractional is more cost effective. So 240 hours expected annual utilization is not that far off in costs for the Boeing (either Boeing).
