Yes, NetJets was a GREAT job! Yes I am furloughed. Yes I expect to never go back. The furlough will be longer than projected because there is basically no attrition due to the quality of the job. New management has cancelled every delivery they are not contractually required to take. They are disposing of a large number of aircraft. They still "claim" to be overstaffed.
Does that mean there will be another furlough? I have no idea. I hope not. Past actions by the new management is what gives a rumor like this legs. It is sad that it is believable. Good luck to those on the "new" bottom. I hope not to see ya'll elsewhere.
Also note that the new management is more than content, pleased even, that there is fear and uncertainty in the ranks. A marked difference from the management that hired us (the furloughees.)
