It was only great place to go during that time because they were the only ones hiring. It was refuge for furloughed airline pilots and NetJets was already in desperation mode trying to hire every warm body they could, that’s why hundreds of pilots were upgraded to captain during their new hire indoc or shortly after. When the airlines look good NetJets has never come close.

I guarantee you that if upgrades were at 15 years back then, none of the cheerleaders would have stuck around.
