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.

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.
