You're dreaming. That pilot group is young!

Thanks for keeping up with us at NetJets though!! Sounds like you're very satisfied with your choice.

I clearly wrote "at least 10 years".
I have no illusion of a sub-decade upgrade and I'm fine with that because FO pay here dwarfs what I was looking at with Netjets (same or more days off, better work rules, etc).

I do hope enough people leave at Netjets to generate some movement. Unfortunately "creating movement within a company by making the job so uncompetitive to applicants with the desired experience" seems like a business school class taught by Hansell.

I've always said that Netjets is a good gig for captains and guys that live in 2nd rate cities (3rd rate is even better). There will always be "too much" central Ohio attitude, and I'm born and raised 614 (Westerville).

Second rate cities ? I just stopped giving you the benefit of the doubt, you really are a tool. Our loss is SWA's gain : )

We have ten sims operating right now. The new training center is opening this year with 18 sims and the capacity for 24.

There are massive plans to expand internationally.

The only real questions are will the economy hold out and allow them to execute their plans, and will we merge with another carrier.

I will probably be one who bypasses. Being a senior FO here is just too good.

Let's both hope out Industry Affairs leaders do well with NAI talks at the White House.

What kind of non-due paying pu$$ies think that a day in the life at NJA is "abusive?" Some of us from the lost decade laugh at the notion.

2nd rate cities.

Home is where family is.

Good luck.

I know there are worse out there, but my duty days at the regional, while involving more flight hours, were easier on me than at NJA. Much less in the way of crew rot, long duty days/short overnights, and last-minute schedule changes resulting in large circadian shifts. And almost all my time at the regional was spent on reserve.
