I would plan on being gone for 7 days. You might occasionally get a show at residence (more likely if you're on the 400xp or Ultra), but that is not something I would plan on happening regularly.

400XP, Encore, Ultra...I think I need to hit Google. I don't know what any of those are- Citations, I think, right? You really get out of touch after 10 yrs. of airline flying!

Hawker-Citation-Citation I think, from soaking up the ambiance for a few months. The cool Citation drivers refer to the Ultra as the "U-boat"

But, the really cool Citation drivers are "X-rated".

For those of you who are already at NetJets or anyone who has an opinion.....could you please give me some insight as to what the negative sides of a lifetime career at NetJets are compared to a Major 121 Carrier? Thanks for your opinion
