I'll won't tolerate that B S. again and neither will my family. That's why I'm with a frac. The potential pay I'm missing out on at the legacies is still worth it for me, and arguably a wash if I were to pay alimony anyway.

For my wife and kids, the 7/7 is very stable for them. And to me, 7 days flys by. When I talk with friends about their ACMI 16 day schedule, they rave about it. To me, 16 is way too long. And for others, 7 is way to long to be away…. Interesting dynamics for everyone in the industry.

Tons of airline pilots don't commute at all and I can tell you as somebody who never rides in the back of an airplane to then go fly one, NJA is much closer to commuting than anything I do. I am not trying to sell anyone on the airlines, I could care less where anyone works, but every hypothetical that exists in these NetJets threads are NJA versus horrific commuting for the airlines, I am simply defending that idea.

Stop making blanket statements. Of course EVERY single person here doesn’t find it satisfactory. People leave jobs. Guarantee all people at your current job don’t find it satisfactory also.

As someone who is starting at Netjets on the 24th of October, I found this forum very interesting to read, and also a little amusing. Overall, I am still really excited to go from a humble flight instructor to flying something a little nicer. I am also glad that either former or current NetJets pilots are trying to gather momentum for another round of contract negotiations looking for a raise, the regionals have matched NetJets in first year pay now, so interesting to see If NetJets responds.
