There are many former Flex pilots at NetJets and I would guess there are about zero former NetJets pilots at Flex. There is likely a good reason for this. The pilots I've heard from who left Flex to come to NetJets have noted distinctly worse daily quality of life at Flex- that has to be horrific knowing very well how bad it is at NetJets. That said, I haven't spoken with any of Red Label pilots that made the jump. Honestly, I can't imagine why anyone would want to go to work at either under the current conditions of pilot demand. Both choices are bad unless a career long horrific commute is the only other choice.
I hope you're not implying that Netjets pilots are immune to furlough because of their union. About 500 pilots would disagree with you.

I agree that Flex still may not be the better career option of the 2. However, since they rid themselves of the union they've made more gains than NJASAP has for NJ pilots.
