Do you know if they've restarted the hiring process to fill that 28 July class or if all those pilots have come from an already completed interview pool? I still have an in-person interview left in my hiring process, but would love to get moving into a class ASAP. Either way it's great to see class dates again.

No more or less than other fractionals. Remember, most pilots consider NetJets to be the best operator to work for with the best pay and benefits. Attrition is much lower at NetJets and has just about come to a standstill with major airline hiring not happening probably for a long time. Fractional Operators may come out of this in even better shape with many wealthy folks who wouldn't spend the $$$ now willing too so they can avoid packed airliners. NetJets is receiving new jets but is disposing of older ones.

(from the outside looking in, and also just my opinion):
Not to mention the business travelers (there are some) who still need to get to meetings and cannot depend on airline service due to cancellations and reductions in frequency. Those 8 flights a day went down to one regional and one mainline a day, so no first class on 50% of their itinerary and sitting around for 4 hours before the meeting and 4 hours after it.
Again, an outsiders perspective.

Before the virus, I had applied and was in class within a month and a half, and that’s just because I wanted to give my previous company 3 weeks instead of 2. Now, there’s really no idea as far as how many applicants they are accepting and how quickly. 50 by the end of the year, say 30 already in the pipeline to guesstimate, so 20 in 5 months, would assume only 4 new applicants a month til the end of the year. Going to be extremely competitive.

That sounds about right. I don't think it'll be years. Fractional flying is recovering at a much faster pace than the airlines. And the average Pilot age at NJA is mid to upper 50's. I suspect a number of our age 70+ pilots are going to find an excuse to go out on medical for 3 years then bail rather than expose themselves to C19.
