Don't take a job here expecting to upgrade...it simply wont' happen. Not even 30 years from now. The seniority list is just too "young", too senior, and too greedy to retire. There is not now, nor will there ever be again, growth here sufficient to necessitate a single upgrade. You've been warned.
I don't agree with this statement but didn't want to waste the time to voice my opinion (opinions and ass holes). G550 wrote most of it for me.
"But one needs to assess the situation by looking at the fact NetJets has FOs approaching year 13, with no upgrade in sight. This combined with almost zero growth and a "fly til you die" retirement mentality... and it's not hard to see that upgrades are nowhere in sight for a new hire".
Only thing to correct is I'm PIC and will complete 12 years next month. Involuntary SICs start year 12 in May. Hiring and upgrades always work like a pendulum. We haven't had upgrades in 8 years. Opinion is one road block was fired yesterday. We are still heavy on captains till we start hiring.
