Default NetJets Pilot assists on SWA Flight

This is unofficial since it's based off a reply in the "Walter Mitty, report to the cockpit" thread in the Major/SWA forum. The incident did happen thou, I'll post the link to the article.
Apparently the SWA PIC had a medical event and was removed from the cockpit and attended to by a pax who was a nurse. The NetJet's pilot handled the radios while the SWA F/O flew.

For maybe a month? Pretty sure the new hires these days are getting what they want within 3 months on the line.

REALLY? FJ makes $30k more on base salary than NJ, wasnt it you who said FDP depends on airframe and many, Phenom, XL, SV, Lattitude, are not making much if any FDP at all and the first $2500 they make only brings them on par with FJ and then FJ adds in $6k bonus, $4k fuel bonus, $5k if you work more than 220 days........REALLY? Same guy???? Sounds like you love your Blazer and wear it proud and are the EXACT reason why every other pilot in the FBO laughs at you as a joke! Just dont be angry while you are at your next FBO and understand why every pilot there says "Netjets? Figures!"

Lol dude I don't know if you were drinking when you quoted my post but it has nothing to do with you or anything you are talking about. The troll I quoted was implying that working NJA was better than working for SWA. My post was implying that working for FlexJet was better than NJA,
