Mmmmmm...not always. There are too many variables to make a blanket statement like that.

Agree. However, there definitely is a "Airline Stink" attitude that is prevalent in the Corporate world.

Fair enough. But I stand by my point. In general, a Netjets pilot that hasn't shown any trouble in training shouldn't have any issue at all in a legacy 121 environment. In fact, he/she will find the training to be trivial.

Again...broad blanket statement. Too many variables.

I've seen Flight Safety pass NetJets pilots who would probably have received retraining (or more) at airline "in house" training. The two training worlds are not uniform, so it's very difficult to judge. While FS does a good job, it is a contractor to NetJets. I think there's a bias to pass a student so as to not cause a "situation".

Maybe not, but your statement would be hard to prove, or disprove based on very limited data.

The reality is the NetJets pilots come from such diverse backgrounds and varied experience levels, making claims about the superiority/inferiority of the group is futile. Some NetJets pilots could have been selected as astronauts...others couldn't make the cut. Claiming that as a group NetJets pilots would have less difficulty moving to a major than the other way around would need some substantiating data.

You can say the same for any pilot group including airline pilots.

Not true! Just ask any American Airlines pilot. He'll set you straight in a New York minute!

It's great to be proud of your group of pilots, but the reality is that there is variance of skill/natural ability even within the best trained/standardized cadre, be it military, airline, fractional, whatever. Setting one group over another is a slippery slope.

Just curious. How many years in are the CL350, CL650 and even the Global FOs these days? Pretty senior? Since upgrade would take 12-15 years, how long before someone could jump from the Phenom or XL into something like a CL350 or CL650?

7 to 10 years and all pay the same. The most junior CL350 and CL650 FOs were hired in 2006
