Why even bother asking these questions?
Airlines are due for one more fold.
Companies like AS, F9, B6 and Spirit are ripe for the taking.
Bank on it.

I was only able to earn airline status one time while at netjets. Every time I’d get close they’d switch most of my flights to another airline.

Doubtful.
9/11 was an accelerant for NetJets business. I’d never wish another one but it was hardly a bad thing for us.
2010 proved to be the coming of the apocalypse for fractional between Madeoff, the real restate crash, the general economic crash, old staffing methods and old contracts.
Still here.
Meanwhile, following 9/11 through 2010, UAL, DAL and AA all ceased operations and were acquired by smaller companies... all of which couldn’t survive without the New combinations . Several BKRPCY filings, lost pensions later... “oh look... new paint jobs and uniforms for everyone”.
New unicorns make it all better!

How many times can you miss a trip because of a failed commute?

NJA pilot riding on an airliner is more similar to "deadheading" to a 121 pilot. Except that they are also earning miles/status, upgraded based on status, and earn overtime in many cases (for them, it's like regular pay plus 150% premium hourly pay). It's nothing like "commuting."

Then, I might just bid a 650.
A G 650....
