A lot of guys pass on the GV, because it just means 11 hours flying instead of 7-8 hours--and both jets go to all the same places. Pay does not change, and you will end up coming back to the GIVSP when it's time to upgrade to captain.
Can you or anyone guess how the NJA integration will throw a monkey wrench into the upgrade times or career progression at NJI? Clearly it is an unknown at this point and I'd be curious to hear what they say/estimate...
Any idea how many newhires (non-NJA transfers) are expected through the end of 2007?
