60% of the retirement gone, and then see if you can think of anything that happened between 2001 and 2008 that maybe set their retirements back as well. I’m not going to throw shade at them as they worked in an era where pensions were the norm. That military retirement created from the 60s-80s isn’t JR money either.

Yes, I was at a Delta wholly owned during the bankruptcy. I know all about it. And yet, not every former Delta pilot found themselves at a frac to make ends meet during their golden years. Wonder why that is?

Different people. Different circumstances. Just assuming they made bad choices is overly simplistic broad brush to paint with. No doubt some did.

You had me at 5 and 6 weeks of vacation. I had no idea.

You are SO incredibly cute! Bless your heart!!

Now, we need to back up a bit and get our ducks in a row, mmmkay? First of all, this thread wasn't NetJets specific. It is "Legacy Airlines vs Fractional. All I was doing was listing things you will no longer be doing as a pilot at a Major/Legacy. You seem really hung up on this lav issue. I understand NJ no longer has internally serviced lavs, but there you are in your Phenom/Excel(which I'm typed in both), cleaning it up and making it pretty. Making sure the sh!t paper is stocked and there are no peanuts stuck to the bowl. Again, and I'll use my big red crayon for you so it's easy for you to understand, I was only listing things you won't do as an airline pilot. That is all. Was me saying :"You got a fax for three-oh-five-queue ess" what led you down the lav-obsessive path? All I'm saying is, as someone whose done pretty much the same job as you for 12 years prior to me joining the airlines a little over 6 years ago, is that you don't realize the extra bullsh!t you you do do until you no longer have to. It really does add up! I see that you have less than 1 year at NJ, so I'm guessing your previous 121 time was at the regionals? Nothing wrong with being customer service centric, though. Next time you're on your hands and knees, crossing seatbelts and picking up what Joe Rich-Guy dropped, you keep telling yourself "For me, the pros and cons favor private aviation". So darn cute I just wanna squeeze your cheek!

I'm flattered that you feel that way about me, but I'm happily married and not that way inclined.

Go find someone else's cheek to squeeze.

This is you specifically referencing NJ. Talking about being "down on your knees, so to speak."

What did I miss, other than the fact that you're here again with another alter ego username, still butthurt about NetJets. For God's sake, get a life, Jetlife!

I think it’s funny how some people are so hell bent on proving they have the objectively better job. Just because you do less manual labor on a daily basis does not mean you have an objectively preferable job. Some people are fulfilled doing things that aren’t the same as you and some don’t seek to absolutely minimize their workload. Some do and that’s fine. I think the gist of the thread should be, it depends on your desires and priorities, not MY JOB IS AWESOME AND THOSE FRAC DUDES ARE ON THEIR KNEES lmfao. It’s a subjective discussion, despite what some may wish for whatever reason.

Just take a peak at United’s TA. Fractional never have and never will keep up with the majors.
