Take it one leg at a time, DNIF when you are sick, fatigue when you are tired, delay/cancel when the weather is not safe and write up the jet when it’s broke.

In the past there have been slower fleets, those days are gone. All of the new fleets work hard. Expect it and manage it as a professional and you won’t be abused.
I wasn't saying the airplane itself sucks- just the way it is used by NetJets because it is so capable of accomplishing almost any mission the company has. I fully agree that the individual pilots HAVE to be willing to fatigue whenever they must. We must all recondition our minds to feel no remorse when calling in fatigued and then actually go ahead and call in guilt free whenever safety demands it. That is definitely not the case now with the majority.
