I fail to see the downside from a management perspective.

They are not used to the pace, the hours (both length and circadian shifts), the type of airports used, the level of service expected.
NetJets is nothing like flying for a 121 airline and people who make the argument of "flying is flying" are merely degrading what NJA pilots do and buying into the Hansell-like thought process that as long as we have the newest aircraft, we are providing the best service.

Military,corporate,air ambulance,charter,crop dusters,night cargo.
I have flown with airline guys with all of these backgrounds.
I even flew with a former Eastern captain who had thirty years at that airline prior to flying night freight with us and he adapted as well as any of us.
Like myself most of them had acquired more than one pilot skill set prior to becoming "airline pilots".
Give the old guys a chance ,you may just learn a few things.

NetJets pilots must have a tough life....."brutal work weeks" Jetlife??
I wonder how many of your fractional /charter colleagues can´t stop laughing now.
And how dare you guys post ..."retired airline pilots are probably the worst pilots they could hire"........ pugpilot?
Or...."Nobody is saying they don't know things"...... Jetlife
Who do you guys think you are?? Way to make a name for NetJets pilots
