ASACapt,
Are you a member of flightinfo? If you are, do you go by the same screen name? I was thinking we might reconvene this discussion over there, where they allow pm's. I don't really want to lay out the pros and cons list here.

NetJets (previously EJA) has been in business since 1964 and operated B707s, Jetstars, and Falcon 20s under a 121 certificate. Around the same time they "taught" the FAA how to give checkrides in corp jets. We currently operate under a 135 certificate and are looking into re-entering the 121 world.
Pilots at NetJets have always been qualified under Part 135 and endure more recurrent training annually than major airlines. Even when operating part 91, we adhere to part 135 duty and rest rules. 14 hours max duty, 10 hours max flight time in 24 hour period. Minimum 10 hours rest unless fatigued, then it is a min of 14 hours rest (per contract).
