I’m glad FJ works for you but it doesn’t work for others. Just glad to see everyone finally earning a decent wage.

Fly safe

Well I work at Netjets so…. I asked because you posted your first year numbers in response to him. Either way one of you get to donate to charity. Always the best way to pay out a bet.

That does happen too. I would think it would be smarter and quicker to just go to flex then the airlines if that is the ultimate goal. Not sure why you would want to go to Netjets from
flex if the airlines are where you want to be. Quicker upgrade for TPIC at flex.

No worries. Hope the new job is making you happy and meets your quality of life demands. That is what matters for each of us. Not how long something is. 😆

Makes perfect sense to take the job at NJA when they offer instead of waiting at Flex for something that may or may not happen. Thats just how it goes.

NetJets has had to reduce their minimums to ATP-Restricted eligible (1000 hours and only require 50 multi). They still require the ATP-CTP before you show but I wouldn't be surprised they drop that too. FlexJet still is able to hire pilots at 1500 hours.

Having been on reserve at the only regional part 121 carrier without a union I interviewed at both netjets and flexjet. Got CJOs from both, I ultimately went to Netjets because of the union. I refused to be a professional pilot on reserve essentially at a place without a union and an actual legally enforceable contract.

My 2.5 years at OO made me not want to upgrade there and be a CA on reserve without actual representation which ultimately made my choice easy...
