Furloughed Pilots Back to Work

Fractional aircraft providers are beginning to recall furloughed pilots in response to increased demand for private lift. Cleveland-based Flight Options-which has fractional-ownership, membership and jet-card programs-is bringing back eight such pilots to fill open seats in its Citation X fleet. The company currently employs 311 pilots and still has 203 on furlough. Meanwhile, Greenwich, Conn.-based CitationAir recalled 14 more furloughed pilots in January.
