I wonder how many furloughees will come back since airline hiring is getting cranked up.

If the number of NetJets' pilots who have asked me for a letter of recommendation to Delta are any indication, there are going to be a lot of folk leaving NetJets as airline hiring continues.

The bottom line: NetJets works pilots a lot harder, and pays a lot less, with virtually no advantage to longevity. A 20 year NetJets pilot flies the same trips as a new hire...forever.

I suspect NetJets is trying to get in front of the avalanche with this recall.
