Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CJI Podcast #55 | Josh Allen | Charter Flight Support | "Working for free was the most money I've probably ever returned on my investment"
Q: How does Charter Flight Support help when a charter aircraft goes AOG?
CFS uses data to identify potential disruptions, provides 24/7 support to find recovery flights, and backstops eligible financial costs so brokers and operators can keep trips moving.
CJI Podcast #55 | Josh Allen | Charter Flight Support | "Working for free was the most money I've probably ever returned on my investment"
Q: How did you end up getting your first job?
After struggling academically at the University of Oklahoma, Allen emailed around 200 aviation operators and brokers offering to work for free. A company in Arizona hired him for the summer, and he stayed in the industry.
CJI Podcast #53 | Mark Bearden | First American Equipment Finance | "As a lender we feel really good about fractional ownership"
Q: If I come to you as a customer and ask for advice on operators, what do you say or ask?
The expert emphasizes a qualification process: assess mission, frequency, and financial fit, then compare major operators (NetJets, FlexJet, etc.) and newer entrants. The goal is to align the product with the client's needs and leverage the operator's capabilities to deliver a seamless fractional experience.
CJI Podcast #53 | Mark Bearden | First American Equipment Finance | "As a lender we feel really good about fractional ownership"
Q: Should I go jet card, fractional, or whole aircraft?
The host's scenario is analyzed by considering mission profile and frequency. There's a place for one-off charter, jet cards, whole-ownership, and fractional. The decision hinges on matching the plan to the appropriate structure, with fractional often appealing for those flying a higher annual hours threshold and seeking a balance of utilization, cost, and risk alongside a sponsor-backed model.
CJI Podcast #54 | Luis Barros | Leviate Air Group | “Find people that do things better than you”
Q: How big do you want Leviate to get, and what are your growth levers?
We aim to grow across three channels—aircraft sales, charter, and operations—through a mix of organic expansion and selective acquisitions. The goal is to become top 10 in aircraft brokers and top 10 in charter brokerage in North America, with an asset-light model and standardized contracts. We're open to private equity but prefer disciplined, platform-driven growth with a strong ecosystem that preserves culture and ensures a clear path to scale.
