upgrade time to captain at NJ
Does anybody know what the approx forcast time to upgrade to Captain at NJ is? Also will NJ accept DTW as a base for pilots? Sorry never really considered it until I started talking to guys on the road. Sounds like a good gig.

Check the following link to compare Netjets to other fractionals (the domicile list should be on there as well):

I was told about 5 years, but it depends on what you want to upgrade to since the upgrades are done by senority in fleet. If you want to upgrade to a Citation X the wait may be longer than an ultra for example.

I don't think the upgrade is runing 7 years these days, I'll say more like 5 (FOR NOW).

The last seniority list exceeded 2800. If you aren't one of the next 200 newhires, you will only upgrade because of attrition.

It's very hard to project upgrade times now with the new TA. Too many unknowns.
How many will leave in the next couple years? Probably not many, but there will always be a slow trickle of old guys leaving.
How many will wait to upgrade on an APU airplane? It might become more prevalent with a 39 month seat lock now.
How many with airline or military pensions (or just don't need the money) will just choose to stay an FO for the relative seniority? There's been a couple recently that bid NJI FO and they could have held NJA Capt.
I certainly don't have the answers to these questions, but I think it will be interesting to watch for the next couple years.
