The 7 days on can be a grind, but I've never found it onerous.
I know a percentage of NetJets guys think we work very hard, but I'm guessing they've never had some of the jobs I have where we worked 12 hours every day it didn't rain, made minimum wage and NEVER got 7 days off.
That’s great that back in your day you had to go to work uphill in the snow both ways and you had to hand crank your car blah blah blah blah blah. Just because the most arguous work conditions are worse than a typical Tuesday at NJA doesn’t mean that it’s easy. If you compare NJA to the median pilot as far as workload, it’s not even fair.
