The muscle cells holding protein, dystrophin, deteriorates, leading to early muscle problems, usually from two years of age, in jumping and general locomotion, with a wheel-chair aid necessity by age 12. Progressing symptoms affect other organs, including distal and extremities muscles, the pulmonary system, leading to respiratory failure.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Founded in 2012, PietrosFight.org aims to create and increase awareness on DMD and raise funds towards research efforts on treatment and alleviation. Donation modes include cash and sponsored events.

However, with its Safety-First Mission, Jets.com exceeds these regulations and instead adheres to FAR 135 standards. These standards are more rigorous for aircraft and private jet personnel.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Compared to FAR 91, which only requires drug and alcohol testing when requested by law enforcement, FAR 135 guidelines require that each employee undergoes testing during the pre-employment period. These tests are required periodically, following an accident, and when there is probable cause. Follow-up testing is also required according to these regulations.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Beyond drug and alcohol testing, FAR 135 standards restrict the amount of time flight crews are allowed to be on duty. According to these regulations, crew flight time cannot surpass 1,200 hours in a calendar year. Within a month, the flight time must remain below 120 hours, nor can it exceed 34 hours in seven consecutive days. When resting, crew members require at least nine hours of continuous rest for less than eight hours of flight time.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">While FAR 91 standards let aircraft land at any airport, FAR 135 limits airport use. Private jets cannot land at an airport without a weather reporting facility. Suitable airports also need longer runways that allow for a landing within 80 percent of the runway’s length. This ensures planes can land safely during adverse conditions or emergencies.</div></span>Edgar Alacanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17462698498997192374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247818623001811247.post-29676722795546291002021-10-16T00:36:00.003-07:002021-10-16T00:36:56.825-07:00Three Jet Travel Tips for Beginners<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-q_SHO3sggR0/YWqBEJ7l7eI/AAAAAAAAANw/lPI8oq3tw_cXJ_KS9rg7YI7Gy6V2KLC3wCLcBGAsYHQ/image.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="319" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-q_SHO3sggR0/YWqBEJ7l7eI/AAAAAAAAANw/lPI8oq3tw_cXJ_KS9rg7YI7Gy6V2KLC3wCLcBGAsYHQ/image.png" width="319" /></a></div></div><br />A graduate of Brooklyn College in New York, <b><a href="https://about.me/edgaralacan" target="_blank">Edgar Alacan</a></b> built Jets.com from a three-person operation to a 50-plus employee business worth millions in annual sales.

Depending on your travel needs and commitments, it’s best to book in advance, especially if you want to maximize your workday.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Have proper documentation: Traveling on a private jet does not absolve you from following international travel protocols and procedures.

Savings come in the form of faster and easier booking time. Private aviation can also save you a lot of time as a <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_jet" target="_blank">private jet</a></b> can take you closer to your destination than a commercial flight, especially if there is a smaller airfield nearby.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition, a private jet allows you to fly or travel without being recognized.

The prepaid card allows users to purchase flight hours in 25-hour increments (25 hours, 50 hours, 75 hours, and so forth). Users can then redeem these hours to fly anywhere in the United States with a 24-hour notice or internationally with a 72-hour notice. The Jet Card program’s pricing is all-inclusive with no hidden costs such as fuel surcharges, additional overnights, deadhead charges, and taxi time.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">There are four pricing tiers for Jet Card membership. These depend on the size of the jet a user wants access to. There is a light jet card, mid-size jet card, super mid-size jet card, and heavy jet card. Light jets are great for short trips under two hours and fit a maximum of seven passengers, while mid-size jets stay in the air for four-five hours and can fit eight people with additional luggage space. Super mid-size jets are more spacious than mid-size jets and can accommodate nine passengers, while heavy jets can go 4,000 miles without refueling and carry a maximum of 14 passengers.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Jet Card membership hours never expire.

Exercise is a great stress reliever and can alleviate depression. People who exercise tone their muscles and improve their cardiovascular efficiency. They also come out of an exercise session with a heightened feeling of well-being.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stress causes tightening of the neck, shoulders, and face muscles, and headaches. High levels of stress may also result in insomnia, intestinal problems, and heartburn. Exercise breaks the stress cycle and releases endorphins in the brain while relaxing the body’s muscle groups. Endorphins are neurochemicals in the brain that induce feelings of pleasure and reduce pain.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Exercise is a side-effect-free alternative to taking antidepressant medicine. A Harvard study shows that running for 15 minutes or walking for an hour reduces the risk of depression by 26 percent. A regular exercise routine can relieve depression symptoms, too.</div>Edgar Alacanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17462698498997192374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247818623001811247.post-9577383076238371212021-05-20T23:38:00.004-07:002021-05-20T23:38:25.415-07:00Jet 747-8i - Largest Private Jet in the World<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eGYJMv22veM/YKdVVkiXrCI/AAAAAAAAAL0/hyBu6i-EfqY87Se2EtByfAdeGOPhMWfgQCLcBGAsYHQ/image.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="331" data-original-width="521" height="203" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eGYJMv22veM/YKdVVkiXrCI/AAAAAAAAAL0/hyBu6i-EfqY87Se2EtByfAdeGOPhMWfgQCLcBGAsYHQ/image.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><a href="https://edgaralacan.yolasite.com/" target="_blank">Edgar Alacan</a></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> offers more than a decade of experience in the private jet industry as co-founder of Jets.com.

This reflects a situation in which existing orders are shipped out at the same rate as their backlog is replenished. It significantly outpaces sales results of the ailing commercial aircraft manufacturer Boeing, which had one of its poorest years on record in 2020.</div></span>Edgar Alacanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17462698498997192374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247818623001811247.post-70172952181785240452021-01-15T21:57:00.006-08:002021-01-15T21:57:49.009-08:00Pietro’s Fight Raises Funds for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Research<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-woZowairpSU/YAKAStGKEJI/AAAAAAAAAJU/Ah0DNEqb3doyjPY6AwwPagIreQGtauVWgCLcBGAsYHQ/image.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="339" data-original-width="509" height="213" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-woZowairpSU/YAKAStGKEJI/AAAAAAAAAJU/Ah0DNEqb3doyjPY6AwwPagIreQGtauVWgCLcBGAsYHQ/image.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The co-founder of Jets.com, <b style="background-color: transparent;"><a href="https://about.me/edgaralacan">Edgar Alacan</a></b> oversees sales for the company he has expanded from a startup to a thriving operation with $40 million in annual revenue.

Approximately 300,000 boys around the world - and 20,000 in the Unites States - are affected by the disease, which causes the muscles to deteriorate. Children with DMD require a wheelchair by the age of 12.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In addition, males do not survive beyond their mid-20s.

Recently, gene-based therapies have shown promise in the fight against DMD. Approaches include RNA-based technology, gene replacement, and drug-based solutions.</span> </p>Edgar Alacanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17462698498997192374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247818623001811247.post-17893292325872326732020-06-21T20:38:00.002-07:002020-06-21T20:38:45.828-07:00Jet.com’s Assure Safety Standards Exceed Federal Requirements<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

With almost three decades of experience in the aviation industry, <a href="http://www.edgaralacan.com/" target="_blank">Edgar Alacan</a> serves as the managing director of jets.com, a firm that he co-founded in 2008. Alongside this, Edgar Alacan supports several nonprofits, such as Pietro’s Fight, which raises awareness of and funds for research into <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchenne_muscular_dystrophy" target="_blank">Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).</a><br />
<br />
The organization recently held an event, called “Pietro’s Fight to the Finish Line,” which took place on September 24 and raised funds for the organization and DMD research. Dayna Scarso, who co-founded the charity after her son, Pietro, was diagnosed with the disease, noted that there was a large turnout for the event.<br />
<br />
In addition, she highlighted that members of the nonprofit, as well as other event participants, were celebrating the news that Exondys 51 was approved for DMD patients by the Food and Drug Administration. Also known as Eteplirsen, it is the first drug to be approved to treat muscular dystrophy patients, a move that was welcomed by many organizations.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Serving as head of jets.com, Edgar Alacan provides a winning combination of competitive prices and bespoke customer service. Client focused, Edgar Alacan strives to educate passengers new to private jet travel on the specifics of having a comfortable experience that takes full advantage of this convenient mode of travel. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">One of the key words when flying charter is flexibility, not only in terms of itinerary but also in terms of baggage handling and arrival and departure times. One major advantage is that, provided that minimal notice is given, it should be possible to change itineraries much closer to the flight date than with commercial flights. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Keep in mind that availability can be affected by last minute decisions. To give yourself the widest range of options available, book two weeks in advance. Cancellations of private charters can generally be made with 72 hours notice, but this varies with price, itinerary, and carrier, and it makes sense to confirm in advance the specific cancellation policy in place. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Flexibility extends to aircraft choice, with the exact model available at a given time and place variable. Being open to flying a comparable model, such as a Gulfstream G400 instead of a Citation X, can generate significant savings compared with requiring a specific aircraft at a specific location. It pays to remember that this variability in aircraft model availability is the flip side of the flexible itineraries that many value when booking charter flights.</span>Edgar Alacanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17462698498997192374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247818623001811247.post-50625822661889557192019-03-16T14:16:00.001-07:002019-03-16T14:16:16.527-07:00Top Advantages of Being A Jet Card Member<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The disease is caused by a loss of dystrophin, a protein without which the body’s skeletal muscles deteriorate. Symptom onset usually begins between ages three and five, and by the teenage years, the disease usually affects the heart and respiratory muscles. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">While there is no cure for Duchenne, new treatment protocols are extending the average life expectancy into adulthood.

A graduate of Brooklyn College, Edgar Alacan served as a private jet coordinator before launching Jets.com in 2008 and growing it to a $40 million business. Outside of his leadership role with Jets.com, Edgar Alacan gives back to the community through his work on the board of directors for nonprofit groups such as Pietro’s Fight.<br /><br />Founded by Dayna and Manni Scarso, <a href="https://www.pietrosfight.org/" target="_blank">Pietro’s Fight</a> was established and is named after the Scarsos’ son, Pietro, who was diagnosed at the age of three with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The organization holds events throughout the year to raise awareness for this rare genetic condition and to generate funds for innovative therapies that hold promise for what is currently considered an incurable disease.<br /><br />Over the years, Pietro’s Fight has supported several initiatives that have led to promising new breakthroughs in the treatment of DMD. In 2015 and 2016, the organization threw its support behind the experimental drug Eteplirsen after Pietro participated in a trial for the new medication. Seeing positive results from the therapy, Pietro’s Fight raised more than $1 million to support a campaign to get the drug approved by the FDA.<br /><br />In the fall of 2016, the FDA announced it had approved Eteplirsen for the treatment of DMD, bringing new hope to thousands of young boys afflicted with the disease around the country. Researchers say that the drug approval will also encourage further research into innovative therapies for the condition.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Edgar Alacan, an experienced executive in the aviation industry, oversees operations at <a href="http://jets.com/">Jets.com</a> as co-founder. Since starting the company in 2008, Edgar Alacan has been responsible for developing the logistics and sales process for the company’s various private air travel products.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Although flying commercial is often more cost-effective, there are several benefits to passengers who use private aviation that are worth considering. Below are a few examples:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">- <b>Personalized menu</b>: Commercial flights may offer flyers a few different options when it comes to meals. However, they cannot match the customization available in private planes. When flying privately, individuals are free to choose ahead of time nearly everything, from their type of cuisine to their beverages.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">- <b>Avoidance of crowds:</b> When going to a major airport to fly commercially, individuals must contest with large crowds, long TSA lines, and waits at baggage claim areas. This is all avoidable with private flights, since many private planes can take off and land at smaller airports.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">-<b> Quicker flight</b>s: Since commercial planes are larger, they usually climb at a slower pace than private jets. Because of this, they take longer to get above inclement weather. Further, they fly slower than private jets, thus resulting in passengers arriving at their destinations later.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">- <b>Added privacy and freedom:</b> Groups are free to hold uninterrupted meetings during their flight on a private jet, and individuals can listen to music without headphones. Further, passengers can walk around the plane or change seats, if desired.</span>Edgar Alacanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17462698498997192374noreply@blogger.com
