Default Pilot to Airplane Ratio at NJ & FJ

Any NJ or FJ pilots,

Could use some accurate numbers if you have them on actual number of pilots on property/seniority list and accurate count of aircraft on the certificate.

APC shows FJ @ 750 pilots and 152 airplanes. Wasn't sure what date this was from.

As for NJ, didn't see a date for their numbers but would appreciate the same info from any NJetters.

Thanks in advance for replying.

Totally moving target but October seniority list shows 2422 pilots on property. Airplane number in constant flux.

Netjets contract says the baseline is 5.0.

What ever the FJ number is NJs dreams and wishes they could have that number.

Correct. It’s all about doing more with less. Hence IBI. Record numbers of pilots on CC76 “suicidal schedule” and extended days. Flying tire, flying fatigue just to fill their donut.

These things tend to happen when some decide it's no longer a badge of honor to fly 100 hours or less in a year.

What’s happened in record numbers since IBI is the number of NJA pilots simply flying 300-400 hours a year.

Nothing more.

To call the CC76 pilots “suicidal” is about a diva drama filled as calling the CC52 schedule a “Princess Option“.

But I know several pilots who call the CC52 “cute”. I’m glad some can do it and i don’t judge them... nor do I judge those on theCC76... or the CC72, or the CC60 or the 7n7.

Pilots have choices. They bid them.

Sounding a bit prejudiced to call those on the CC76 "suicidal" but I understand not everyone has the same health, physiology, needs, goals, personal needs, home requirements, youth or not, abilities or not.

What I envy here is a choice given to pilots to choose the schedule that fits their needs. Pretty luxurious.
