Having been on reserve at the only regional part 121 carrier without a union I interviewed at both netjets and flexjet. Got CJOs from both, I ultimately went to Netjets because of the union. I refused to be a professional pilot on reserve essentially at a place without a union and an actual legally enforceable contract.
My 2.5 years at OO made me not want to upgrade there and be a CA on reserve without actual representation which ultimately made my choice easy...
