Second, you're on duty the whole time. If it takes you all day to get to the aircraft and you time out you go to the hotel. You could in theory spend the whole day (or night) commuting to your airline gig, then be available to fly a full duty period.
Lastly, if your flight is delayed, canceled, Jumpseat already taken etc. that's not your problem. I know airlines have a commuter clause before throw that at me, but that just means you're not disciplined if you miss your trip due to circumstances beyond your control. You're not pay protected for the trip you missed are you.
Like I said, this isn't an argument about whether Netjets is better than a major airline, its exposing the pros and conns that each has to offer. You can try and convince all you want that commuting is no big deal Kellyanne, but no one who's ever done it is buying your B.S.
Whatever beef you have with Netjets is getting boring and frankly quite juvenile. I'm still baffled as to why you continue feel the need to post on here despite the fact that you left for Virgin (not Alaska like you keep telling everyone.)
If you do feel the need to continually feed your addiction, at least have the decency to post accurate information instead of alternative facts.
Genius? No a genius is somebody who hasn't worked for either company to which he is making assumptions on. You are hilarious.
I didn't say commuting was no big deal universally, stop selling the worse case scenario regarding the airlines and commuting to justify your choice to go to NetJets. As for my beef with NetJets? Open your eyes slugger, go read the dozens of other people who echo what I say. It has literally NOTHING to do with your false assumption that I somehow think I am above NetJets or better because I work for an airline, nothing can be farther from the truth. Who I work for has nothing to do with what it is like to work at NetJets, and what I have said is completely accurate.
I think it is absolutely hilarious how you are trying to explain to me how travel on NetJets works though, please tell me more!
If you wanna work at NetJets, that's great, do your thing and I hope you enjoy it, but don't live in a fantasy world just to try and justify your decision.
