There really aren't as many old guys here as many believe. Sure there are some guys in their 70s, but I'd guess less than 20 percent of the pilots here will be retiring in the next 10 years. Many of the older guys came here from airlines that raped their retirements and they will have to keep truckin' until they either can't pass the medical or finally save up enough. My guess is that the average age of a NetJets pilot is somewhere in the low to mid 40s. Do not plan on streaking up the seniority list for upgrade. You will need the list to grow behind you until you are in the top 60 to 65 percent before you upgrade. Upgrades will be slow until the current captains get settled in to the fleets the want for a while- guys off seat lock or near the end of their seat locks will continue to swap aircraft to get onto a fleet that suits their needs the best so many 400 and Ultra drivers will take the APU slots as they open and some who are very junior on the APUs may bid down for better vacation or start days. My guess is true upgrades start accelerating late this year or early next year, but they still won't be all that fast. 5 to 6 years, minimum, is where my guess is for a new hire.
