NetJets or Wheels Up
 
If you had the opportunity to be a street captain at Wheels Up or a FO at NetJets which would you guys take?

Keep in mind that NetJets has been taking over 6 months to get people in training whereas Wheels Up its immediate.

Thanks

WHEELS UP, at least there you will see an upgrade in under ten years

Isn't wheels up 6 on 3 off ? Their guys are coming up to us on the road and asking if we are hiring, but I agree if you want a quick upgrade Netjets is not a good path.

Are we they actually hiring street captains at wheels up or is this hypothetical?

Here's another good question: Is Wheels Up a good stepping stone for those aspiring to be NetJets pilots?

This seems like an open ended question...

What is the ultimate goal?

Plenty of people go to netjets and make a career. Is your goal to be a king air pilot? As far as I know you're not going to get into the excel.

You say getting into training immediately.. Do you need a job? If so go to wheels up.

Several NJ newhires have come from Wheels Up

you'll make more within a few years at Netjets...plus the benefits are way better...use WU to get PIC time to move on...that's it...and the schedule is TERRIBLE

I was at WU for exactly one year, long enough to fulfill my agreement. I left for NetJets as soon as I could. NetJets and WU are not even remotely in the same league.
