You can’t negotiate with people like him and his peers. They aren’t line pilots. They are managers. They sit at the same desk every day. They don’t and can’t do your job. So they have no clue. Their main job right now is to undermine the union, split the the pilot group in hopes of new union leadership. We’ve seen this before. Sadly it worked twice. Once with us and they just pulled it off again with the flight attendants union. Anyone who disputes you deserve more is with out of touch with reality, has no sense of professional self worth, or has another agenda that only benefits them not the pilot group. I hope people are paying close attention

Can anyone comment on difference in flying longitude versus challenger 350? Handling? Technology? Comfort? Mission? Flight time, Performance, Anything else that I don’t know to ask? Thank you very Much!

my biggest compliant about the CL350 is the much higher cabin altitude. 6 hour flights at 7800' cabin altitude really wear you down versus the lower cabin altitude of the Longitude/Latitude. Outside of that, the airplane rocks but we aren't getting anymore of them so it is a dead fleet but will be around for some time though.

The Longitude flies really well, handles well, great airplane. Avionics are easy if you are familiar with the Garmin avionics. The cabin altitude is a gem. The 350 is still a work horse though, a real clydesdale, solid, reliable, doesn't break (anymore). Most productive tours are still on the 350 right now, good FDP money but we're getting there with the Longitude.

Thank you for helping me understand difference between CL350 and Longitude. Can anyone provide info on differences in midsize fleet: Citation XLS vs Sovereign vs Latitude. I know the Latitude is a newer design and shares a lot with the longitude. Wondering how getting the XLS or Sovereign compares to getting the Latitude at Netjets. Thank you again!

The primary difference between the XLS/Sovereign and the Latitude is about half. As in roughly half of FDP earnings.

The XLS and Sovereign fleets are old and brittle and will disappear sooner than later. And the sooner, the better.

I average around 20 hrs total a tour on the XLS. I believe the Sovereign is about that too. The Latitude is likely around 30 total hours in a tour as it is newer with fewer breaks per cycle, and the shear number of them. Crews can just hop-scotch to the next one if their plane goes down.
Btw..The crew brief at the beginning of the week includes not doing the company’s jobs, not flying a broken plane, not flying tired or hungry. Having said that, when you have a good bird and similar crew schedule, you’re guaranteed some loooong duty days and close to 30 hrs total for the week.
‘The XL has a great group of folks flying that bird.

I understand that you feel strongly about the advice given by myself. It's important to take into account various perspectives and sources of information when making decisions about employment or any other important matters. While it's helpful to consider advice from others, ultimately, it's crucial to gather as much information as possible and make choices that align with your own needs, goals, and circumstances. If you have any specific questions or concerns about NetJets or any other topic, there’s a lot on the internet to digest.

It seems like you have strong opinions regarding the challenges and training requirements at NetJets (NJA) and how they are communicated by NJASAP. Perspectives on these matters can vary among individuals, and it's important to consider different viewpoints and experiences.

Airport challenges can differ based on various factors, including weather conditions, terrain, approach procedures, and aircraft capabilities. While some pilots may find certain airports more challenging than others, opinions can vary based on individual experiences and preferences.

Regarding new hires, it's essential to strike a balance between ensuring pilots are adequately trained and experienced while also providing opportunities for growth and development. The focus on specific airports or requirements may be part of a broader discussion about training standards and the overall skill set expected from NJA pilots.

It's important to remember that pilots' training and capabilities can evolve throughout their careers, and different operators may have varying expectations and approaches.

Something besides flying.

Diversify. Like investing.
