7n7 schedule at NetJets equal 182 days of work minus 28 more days (4 weeks of vacation) which occur in 21 day increments when considering the 7 days off prior and after the vacation week. That’s a lot of time off. It’s not FedEx time off but still very good.
Can you get that much time off at Alaska?
It’s about choices: Money or Time off.
5 year Spirit Captains are making 250k easily. And yea, comparing a 16 year NJA captain to a 5 year Spirit captain will yield similar salaries. Again, not impressive to be making 250k in this industry at a “career” job as a captain at 16 years. NJA salaries don’t come anywhere close to airline salaries for a given YOS.
