A couple things.

First the whole management continuously saying "we are due for a downturn" is funny. Why in the world would management say that to their employees... Let me think... Oh, maybe they are trying to scare people into not leaving. What other purpose does it serve. Just kinda shows you they are scared because those guys don't know if there is gonna be a downturn tomorrow anymore than the weatherman knows if it'll rain in three weeks. Think about that boys before you get sideways on that crap.

Second. As best as I can tell everyone being hired at NetJets is fully qualified for any of the majors and brown and purple. Why on gods green earth would you go there unless you needed a job. And I don't say that because the job sucks but the money sure as heck does compared to the airlines.

I would have to think that one of three things is about to happen (or already is) at NetJets.

1. Hiring standards drop. I.E. experience levels etc.

2. Pay goes up, way up.

3. Or the right seat on Netjets fleet becomes the holding pattern for the majors while they wait for the call (Which it probably already is). Training cost skyrocket.

I hope Netjets gives all their guys a raise and gets it sorted out because I think the place is a pretty good place to work by all accounts. I just don't see how guys with those qualifications wanna make that little money and sit in the right seat of one of those coke cans with wings for 10 years for that kind of money.

But then again what do I know
