How does Net Jets accommodate part time reservists?
I am transitioning from 10 years in the Air Force flying fighters to a part time reserve job and wanted to know how Net Jets deal with part time reservists? I know most major allow them to drop a trip per month to meet their reserve requirements. What does Net Jets do?

F16driver,
For your trips to the sandbox, did you have the option to keep the NJ health and just keep paying premiums or did you take tricare. I know it's a pain to restart health benefits. Plus it sounds like NJ benefits are way better.

I'm never off of NJ health care. I don't pay any premiums because I don't have any kids. Company pays health and dental. I will only use tricare if I absolutely have to based on orders. NJ health care is way better and less hassle than tricare.

They accommodate you extremely well. In my experience, NetJets is one of the most reserve-friendly companies out there. Never had a problem getting time off for reserve duty. Whatever anyone wants to slam them about, it sure can't be support of reservists!

With NJ you just give them your mil leave and they take you off the schedule for those days. If, for example, you take off the first 4 days of a 7 day trip, they will use you the remaining 3. NJ is very military friendly and I've never had any issues with my mil leave. This includes a couple trips to the sandbox since I've been here.
who do they have fill in for the first 4 days? do they aske guys to pick up overtime? then, do they fly you in to whereever the plane is to finish out the trip? when you mil leave, do they just pro-rate your pay? thanks.

Netjets also pays the difference of their base pay to the military members base pay.

i see, so you don't always have the same crew for the entire 7 day trip? each guy has there own independent schedule from everyone else? how much advance to you have to let them know for your desired mil leave, and then do you wait to hear back if it is approved or not? is there a limit to how much you can mil leave, monthly or annually?
thanks for the info-

Mil leave is not a matter of approval, they have no choice. If you drop mil leave your trip is gone, or whatever portion you need dropped. You can go on mil leave for as much or little as required, there might be a minimum you need to work to maintain benefits, but not to maintain your job.
