I know someone that was hired in 2004-05 timeframe. Great guy. He has flown a Citation for ~12 years. Just got upgraded to captain.... Still on the Citation. Back in '04 I thought Netjets was the cats meow of biz jets. I think it still probably (arguably) is if you have been there for 20+ years.

I cannot imagine being there for 12 years and still being stuck in a Citation. Nothing against them but man that has to suck.

Here is the thing. I think everyone hired at Netjets is airline (majors) material in qualifications. I also understand that there is a percentage of people that do not want to work for the airlines period and wanna fly biz jets. But today you have to be a fool to be a new hire or anyone under 10 years seniority at Netjets and not be trying your hardest to go to one of the major airlines.

In 5 years you'd be 1/3 the way up the seniority list. Make more money. Not have to sit at an FBO all day and on and on and on.

I will be real surprised that is over the next few years Netjets doesn't seriously boost pay especially at the bottom there will be an exodus of junior guys and training will eat them up.

I am not there so I don't know for sure but what do you guys that work there think?
