Leave the majors to Netjets?

Leave the majors to Netjets?
If anyone that is currently at Netjets who previously flew for a major, could you please PM me? I need to pick some brains.
I'm a 12+ year United Captain, and am considering making a move.
Thanks

WOW that's a move. I know there are a bunch of guys here at Netjets who passed on the recall from a major, but haven't heard of an active Captain do that yet, unless he/she is close to retirement.
Good luck with your decision

Well, we have hundreds of guys who retired from the airlines and several others who got furlough after 9/11, got the recall, but never went back. Hopefully someone steps up to answer your questions.
cheers

Yeah, just what I want to do. Work until I'm 65, then die at 66.
No thanks.
As much as I'd like to work for Netjets, I don't think I'm going to try. If I was just starting out at United, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But, being there 12yrs, I'm probably stuck.
The numbers aren't that far off base pay wise, but throw in United's 16% B fund and it just doesn't make sense to leave. Until we go out of business of course.

We have a 19 year A-320 Captain who left NWA at 50 to come work for NJI and a 26 year B-747 Captain who also left NWA at 52 to come work for us. Last time I talked to each of them, neither regretted the decision. We also have more than a dozen major airline furlough guys that blew off recall. Only one that I know of returned to his legacy (United) and he was under 35 and lived in a base city.
You won't know if you made the right decision until the day you retire.

Right now, if I was a F/O at a major (SW, FDX, UPS excluded) with less than 4 years seniority, Netjets would look like an attractive proposition to me. No commuting, free benefits, probably better or at least same pay. However, If I had more than 5 years invested in a major, C/A or F/O, I probably wouldn't go anywhere. To me 5+ years of seniority matter.
we all have different priorities, and circunstances.
