My hat is off to the Net Jets group for fighting a good fight and gaining meaningful wage increases in the industry. This ultimately helps pilots at all levels. USMCFLYR |

I feel like I'm going to get run over from the people pushing from behind or the FA is going to give me a nasty look for trying to get a peek (like I'm a terrorist and checking out my target or something) so I just glance and continue to move on towards the coach seats! Certainly no time to actually stop and stick my head in to say hello.

I look at the load information to see if they have "Jumpseater" checked yes. If so, I expect the jumpseater to come up and politely ask for a ride, otherwise don't worry about it. We get NetJets guys all of the time - but I usually don't see them until we are waving good bye.

When in doubt.... check in. If you have to ask, then the answer is yes.
|
I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you. Netjets pilots are full-fare paying passengers. They are unable to jumpseat or non-rev on an airline and as such should never have to check in with the flight crew. If the flight crew has a problem with that it's due to their own ignorance. If I were a netjets pilot I would not check in with the crew and if they asked I'd simply explain what has been said numerous times in this thread already.

Thanks for the insight everyone. I sure miss my jumpseat perks, but it's nice NJA pays for our tickets and the money goes to the airlines.

USMCFLYR Probably not. They are not on my JS list. They would need to be in CASS to use any 121 jumpseat. |
this thread is great. A few years ago I asked a uniformed pilot after he deplaned..
"Hey, how come you did not check in with me for the ride??" he said "Im with Netjets and our tickets are purchased ahead of time, fully paid." I felt like such an idiot. He could have deffinately told me to go $crew myself. Instead he was very polite. Netjets guys always welcome aboard after that experience. Hands down. |
Of course, Net Jets isn't the only carrier that buys its crews tickets to ride in the back.
