I still know guys who haven’t come close to schedule with upgrade at AA with almost 20 years in.
That, and they are all part of one big 4 way happy family in the pilot SLI.
Not. 😬
A pilot can make well over $300k flying a XL at NJA after upgrade in today’s dollars and put great money towards retirement. Our upgrades are still at 13 years (which we’re fixing) but I can’t imagine 20 years. Once the current list of FOs at 13 years are upgraded, the wait should drop to 6-7 years. That’s better or equal to any major unless your considering LGA or JFK with strings at the majors.
I don’t understand the “better money at Flex” comment either. Flex has always waited until NetJets negotiates a deal with its pilots and then comes out with a wet toilet paper version for itself.
I would love to see some regional airline background continue to consider NetJets.
That background has solid skills working in the airspace and handling high energy workload.
