FAQ:
- Q: Is there a plan for which airports First Jet will (try to) launch with at the start, as well as planned future aiports to expand to?
  A: Great question! This will be designed and proposals will be run by the founding members of the co-op for review and approval.
- Q: Are only US residents able to invest?
  A: Not just US residents! See the answer here! https://help.wefunder.com/article/56af32b2-1-who-can-invest-on-wefunder
- Q: Is this a one time investment or recurring monthly/yearly?
  A: One time depending on the window :) If you'd like to invest more now you can, or invest more down the road on future opportunities you can as well. Its up to you but please do your own research and if you do decide to invest, only invest what you can afford to lose :)
- Q: Is an investment the same as the membership buy-in?
  A: No. We're actually not allowed to sell membership until we have flgihts to sell. Investments are purely investments at this time.
- Q: The First Jet website and previous statements from Hunter expressed investors would have voting rights in the company, but the "Risks" section on this state the opposite. Can you please clarify t his?
  A: As of the current iteration of the company before the co-op is in existence, vote control rests with myself to ensure that someone can't come in and (quite frankly) destroy the opportunity being built. Upon the formation of the co-op, the investors now will move into the voting class of the co-op. This may change depending on how the FAA/DOT allows command/control of a Part380/Part121 AOC by a co-op, but as of now this is what is being designed.
