Of course. In the galley area. But try not to look the passengers in the eye while doing so. It can be a little creepy.

Current job, I bank roughly $40/day of the per diem ($6-8k/yr), and health care premiums are covered by the company (could be another $5-6k in premiums).

Thanks.
Like this guy, I'm curious about the medical benefits. We are a family of three, which basically means I pay through the nose. Anyway, very interested in the place. In round numbers, what does health care cost? Dental? Etc.? Thanks in advance for any help on this stuff.

High deductible PPO HSA plan. No cost for preventative visits. Deductible is $3000, company contributes $2300/year to HSA. After deductible is met, you pay 10%.

Per Pay Period:
HSA $110
Dental $26
Vision $14 (buy up option)

Don't know if NetJets is in the realm of the possible for those asking about insurance but here's the info:

In network, which all the Docs we've been using in CLT for many years are: $20 copay for an office visit; $150 copay for hospital or ER; Zero copay for diagnostic imaging. Urgent Care is $100 I think.

Fairly standard Dental and Vision coverage.

And that's it. We pay nothing for this insurance, no out of pocket min to meet. Drugs do have a $75 out of pocket once a year (CVS Caremark). Brand name drugs will cost a bit, generics are pretty cheap.

And this is locked into the current contract which still has a LOT of years to run, I think 2025 or so, someone pls correct me if I'm wrong.

Downside right now is NetJet's is only hiring 5-6 a month so they're being pretty picky. Recent contract changes have gotten a lot more flying from the same # of pilots. However by next year staffing levels should be approaching the contract mins per jet so most everyone expects hiring to increase. Lots of new shiny jets coming in, offset by older jets going away but still a considerable net increase.

How often do XO crews lay over in KBED? On FlightAware I see frequent flights into there but how long do you lay over there for a decent overnight?

When I was there I was in Bedford sometimes once or twice, sometimes never. Depends on whats going on. I never sat there for very long though. Min overnight to 3/4 day.

Plus NetJets has Loss of Medical insurance that you pay for that is offered by Harvey Watt. New hires get to open enroll with no restrictions. Worth it right there.
