I wonder how long it will take before that new car smell fades at your new job.
Your posts would have much more credibility if your emotions didn't corrupt your statements.
It really makes it difficult for a prospective applicant to get the true picture.

The proof is in the pudding and seniority matters... as does age.

the only stagnation is at netjets, where you waste a decade or two of earning potential while falling farther and farther behind the industry. that's why the exodus. spoke to crew records (DM) about PRIA delays a few weeks ago and she said that they are swamped like they've never been before with requests for potential departures.
I'm predicting at least 100 FO departures from the ranks this year which will just clog the training pipeline (even with 2 phenom sims) and further skewing the captain/fo ratio.

You should be able to read a forum, or talk to people that work there, and that should automatically give you first hand experience and a first hand perspective on a job. "You read about it, why are you surprised?" That is simpleton behavior.

Only 10 years at SWA?
You're dreaming. That pilot group is young!
Thanks for keeping up with us at NetJets though!! Sounds like you're very satisfied with your choice.

That's resigning.
Did you ever make it to a major cockpit Falcon?

I believed in balloons and ponies for a decade, despite the furlough, company shrinking, people dying off the seniority list instead of retiring, the list goes on. The realization that the last decade of my career has been a waste is a tough one to accept, but once I did, it hit me like a ton of bricks. So now I'm getting the logbook caught up and will be sending out apps for the first time in quite a while. To paraphrase someone you're familiar with, I'm taking control of my career.
Good for you Falcon!
I wish you the best!

NetJets must have really traumatized you with their abuse. I hope your new employer makes all your dreams come true and you never have to vacuum the carpet of a private jet ever again.
Good luck with your new endeavor.

We have ten sims operating right now. The new training center is opening this year with 18 sims and the capacity for 24.
There are massive plans to expand internationally.
The only real questions are will the economy hold out and allow them to execute their plans, and will we merge with another carrier.
I will probably be one who bypasses. Being a senior FO here is just too good.
