If they can get rid of quarter million dollar, limited use pilots and replace them with young, experienced $100,000 pilots, that is a huge win for them. Ironically, it's a win for the middle of the seniority list too.

Exactly my point. With the 7500 looming, a large percentage of the pilots senior enough to hold it won’t be able to perform the mission. They are also the most expensive. The company must do something about the issue and I don’t think legislation or a unilateral policy change will happen.

Keep the NJA hope alive if that is what you truly want. But also apply to Atlas, K4, and some of the other airlines that might offer you a better paycheck and potential QOL while you are waiting. NetJets hired very few pilots over the last few years and the pilot group size has shrunk by several hundred pilots since 2015. Sounds like they are continuing the trend with a potential early out package. I wouldn't hold my breath on getting a call. Hopefully, you do get that call as that is what you want, but I would plan contingencies...
