The fact that a multi million $ aircraft owner wants to short change the crew by not paying for training twice a year, not enough pilots, not having a proper schedule, not enough salary, no proper SMS, etc etc escapes me.....
Not all private owner operations are like that though.

Yes, many tight git billionaires will only have one set of crew, no leave, no proper SMS and nowhere near enough salary. What the heck is a schedule? I don't believe in all honesty ANY pilot of a private jet can truly say they have a schedule. More like a smartphone or pager on 24/7. Your day off (of which you couldn't turn the phone off) was just a day you didn't fly, or even a day when you were in the office doing paperwork... Difficult to police.

On the other hand, many manager/pilots don't want to give up their little empire to a management company for fear of losing their job.
