Using the numbers on this forum, and considering only the Big Four in the fractional industry (QS, CS, FX, FLOPS), there are 721 aircraft. Netjet flies 408, or 57% (if you include the BBJ's and GS). There are 4,172 pilots. Netjets employees 65%. This means two things: 1) They probably don't really have 75% of the domestic fractional business; 2) They are not as efficient as the other operators in terms of pilot usage. (Higher percentage of pilots than planes.) This would account for their desire to get the TA approved.
Just numbers, but always interesting......
