NetJets lowering hiring mins
Management told the recurrent class hiring mins are being lowered to 1500 hours, 250 multi. They're also willing to look at someone without a full ATP, but if you bust your initial checkride you're out the door. Info is confirmed by Union Reps. Hiring mins on the website have not been updated yet.
I'll let others speculate on the reasons, all I read was that they felt a lot of good applicants were being left behind because of the 2500hr requirement. Think military fighter types. I've also read 1st year attrition is something like 30% so that could have something to do with it, but that is speculation which I said I wouldn't do.

If you want to work at a fractional I wouldn’t let that be the only deciding factor. NetJets SIC pay is equal to or better PICs at those other companies. Why do you think there are 10+ year SICs that are staying and not going elsewhere?

Because they are scared of change. There are 15 year PICs that leave to start over so it goes both ways.

Upgrade time is always a fluid thing in this business. Why go to a company with a 2 year upgrade that may not be here in 2 years? If the goal is to get quick upgrade and lots of turbine PIC, the regionals are where you should head.
If a pilot wants to fly fractional, there’s really only one career choice and right now, and upgrade is longer than the rest because attrition isn’t high like other choices... likely for a reason (it’s worth it being at NetJets).
min the time it takes to upgrade l, you’ll get to fly 2-3 other frames including the Global 7500... Longitudes, Latitudes, Challengers and everyone’s favorite... The Phenom.
