If a good engineering opportunity comes along (my previous life), I may take it, but it has to be a pretty amazing opportunity. I just like flying too much.

It’s already left you in disappointment, so let it go and go start throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.
NetJets isn’t saving me from anything, but they are the best option for me. So, that’s what I was going for.
terrible advice.

Doesn't sound like NJA is the best option, sounds like you made it you only option...

I here you bro! NJs is a great place. I really like your attitude. I left NJs after 14 years but I miss it. Only a few places I would have left it for. But, I would have been totally happy staying there.

FWIW looking at the age of NJ pilots, things may start to move before too long. In the next few years roughly 20% of the seniority list will be at or above 65 and in the next 10 years it will be close to half the list. Granted we don't have a retirement age, but nature gets to us all. Based on my unofficial observation, the pilots here already above 70 seem to be on the fly until you die or lose a medical track, whereas the the ones in their mid 40's-50's seem to be targeting a date or 401k number. If the company goes through with their planned aircraft additions it may speed things up on the hiring side. But like others said, keep your options open. Most NJ pilots never planned to be here or to be here for long.

I haven’t seen here or anywhere else anyone believing we’ll get down to 4.7 pilots per frame, at least on a permanent basis.
I’d bet a hotel priced appetizer we don’t drop below 5 pilots per frame.
