The recruiters cannot be trusted to tell you accurate pay estimates and we have had many, many first and second year pilots bailing out for other jobs after realizing how far behind NetJets is getting and how much they are actually making while working way harder than they would at an airline. Good luck wherever you end up.
One of the benefits of Flex is your guarantee pay is significantly higher than NJ not to mention, based on NJ message board, QOL is better at Flex. On the otherhand, as many people that FLEX would like to hire, not everyone gets a CJO. For me Id apply to FLEX, NJ, and FE and if I received all three CJOs, Id choose them in that order (Unless wearing a blazer is on top of your list!).
