While your question was posted in the "NetJets vs FlexJet" thread my response has nothing to do with the argument of which company is better to work for. It is a fact that 91K/135 companies and their entire compensation packages, QOL, work rules, retirement...... falls far behind the LCCs, legacies and large freight companies. For NetJets to grow, as NetJets management says they want to grow, (I will be happy to be the first one to smile and say I was wrong if they in fact hit their numbers) the entire contract must attract the next generation of aviators. We are competing with the bonuses the regionals offer, the flow the regionals offer, and the mature contracts of the LCCs, legacies and large freight companies.
If the 91K/135 world is where you want to spend your career then great, aviation has something for everyone. Everyone that wants to spend their career flying business jets should be supporting the NetJets pilots in their contract negotiations. Every segment of the "professional pilot industry" will benefit.
