Most likely nobody hired in the last 5 years even has any hope of seeing the BBJ in their career at NetJets. I think we only have 3 (maybe 4) and by the time anyone hired fairly recently was senior enough we will either have a new generation of very large business jets or we will have no very large business jets. I was hired this year and I doubt I'll ever even be in even a Falcon 2000 classic since it will take a long time to have the seniority to hold it and there will most likely be a new generation of airframes before I have the seniority. I already have over 300 behind me, but I need to move up quite a bit and we need to aquire many, many airplanes for me to hold any captain slot- years from now. NJA does fly the G-200, but even that takes at least 6 years of seniority to hold as a captain. Newhires can get anything under the BBJ, G-IV and V (at NJI), and the Falcon 2000EZ and guys with over 2 years of seniority have been slowly trickling over to the G-IV as FOs and I think we have 2 guys with at least 2 or 3 years of seniority as the most junior on the 2000EZ. The pay is greater on all of these aircraft so they are obviously more senior. I also believe that the "FOs" on the BBJ are all on captain bypass pay which didn't really change on the new contract for the BBJ.
