NetJets basing flexiblity, changing bases?
 
I know I'm probably going to have my first gray hair before I have an opportunity to work at netjets, but I was curious how flexible they are about changing bases... Say you wanted to live in FL for half the hear and up north for the warmer months? Are you able to do that?

I believe you just have to give them a month or two notice.

yes they're very flexable, as mentioned above, one month notice and that's it.. that's priceless to me, being able to live where-ever I want and not having to worry about commuting.

... and I heard you get paid while airlining!

and you keep the points. At least you get a few free tickets a year, just no more jumpseating.

So when can us hopefuls expect a chance?

In all seriousness I'd say no earlier than 2015...Give or take....

By then we'll be ready to start negotiating a new contract so you'd get to enter the wonderful world of Netjets right around the time the grenades are being tossed. And just in time for the next recession.:rolleyes:

Yep. You report to your crew base on your first scheduled workday. If you have an airplane there, you might go right to it, but that's not common. More often than not, they'll buy you an airline ticket to an uncrewed airplane, but this is all part of your duty time. (So if the flight's oversold, cancels, or whatever, you're not stressing a commute. You're already at work; it's not your problem! Much lower-stress than commuting space-available, that's for sure.)
