Interesting background, and congrats, but curious... Wouldn't a captain on a BBJ GV or Global be a highly desirable position with an excellent salary to begin with? Assuming this isn't some gig for a ME outfit, I know a capt flying similar 91 making 225 + bonus with benefits and QOL most airlines can't touch, this making the switch to 121 a big step backwards.
While I'll take a large paycut from flying BBJ's, Globals, and Gulftstreams it will be somewhat short lived. I make what a 5-10 year FO at Southwest makes and not even close to Captain pay.
I feel extremely humbled and fortunate to join the Southwest ranks.

Interesting.
My husband works for Netjets. Days off = phone off. His 2016 7 day on, 7 day off pay will be 160ish with 4 weeks vacation.
He is constantly going back and forth about leaving for 121.

Tell him not to listen to the trolls who haunt this website. We have had a trickle , growing to a steady stream leaving for SWA, United, and all the sundry LCCs. Good guys and girls going to good places, God bless 'em : )

Good to know. Are you planing on retiring from NJA? I'll bet you could have many options besides NJA with your 747 experience.

That's the million dollar question!!! : ) I have a unique situation my wife is a major airline pilot, our life works very well with the 7&7 , home basing, and only one of us bidding a line and commuting each month, both bidding, and commuting, with kids, not easy, or conducive to QOL : )
