Yes, there is some attrition at NJ, but it seems to be mostly at the SIC level. It's low when compared to FJ. The problem at NetJets is, if you're a PIC going to an airline doesn't make economic sense. I know a few who had large airplane envy who left for the majors and took a huge pay hit.
The NJ union has negotiated an unbelievable pay and benefits package.

I would agree with this, NJA pilots (I am one) are told we were hired because we are the best and we have the best contract in the Frac world, I would not consider Flex a competitor, we have almost 500 jets, they have 75 I think. We don't compete on pricing is the moto over here. Lot more options here at NJA than other companies. I think AJ gets "happy employees leads to happy customers".

[QUOTE=GeeWizDriver;2815585]Then you’ve done a crappy job educating her.
My wife is a medically retired NWA pilot. She readily admits what we do is WAY harder than what she used to do.[/QUOTE
what I haven’t done is complain to her about how miserable I am , ( I’m not ) , our flying is certainly challenging, and dynamic, but in the XL as of late I wouldn’t call it hard, let alone WAY harder than 121 airline flying. Besides we have the most liberal fatigue policy in the industry. DC3 on demand cargo ? Now that was grueling, tough, challenging....fill in the adjectives, Cheers : )

It’s not the flying. It’s everything else you do every day that constitutes 70% of your actual work day at a frac. And if taking care of the plane is easy you need to go buy your partner a beer and apologize to them. Because you’re working them to death.
