Hiring for the bottom churn won't have an affect on upgrades. Guys either need to leave or the fleet needs to grow. I was there, I was young, and there was an even younger crop of Captains who had fled the regionals after 2001. It didn't take long to realize that we were hired as career FO's. Even in a good economy NetJets isn't going to double the fleet and grow to 1,000 airframes. The only hope of an upgrade is to try to outlive the guys senior to you. My analysis of the job was that it was a dead end career unless you want to be jerking gear on a Citation for the next two decades. My opinion is that anyone who goes there who hasn't retired from somewhere else is a damn fool.
