Maybe they'll start having a tv presence at big events again once the new sim is up and running.
I just saw a Wheels Up ad with Tom Brady sitting in a KA350. I believe he was at one time a Netjets customer because I recall seeing him in a Netjets ad a few years back as well (sitting in a G200?).

And brother... no one should be hacking you for it either.... If NetJets 'works' for you (and family) then by all means STAY! There is absolutely no shame or second tier status bestowed upon NetJets pilots. Just the opposite... they are highly skilled and respected pilots in both the Corporate and 121 world. The safety record speaks for itself. I was proud to be a NetJets pilot and when asked where I came from, I tell them!

There is a certain 'freight-dog' on here and FB that I follow that really gets it... He stays at NetJets because it works for him. He's been on both sides recently (like I have) and sees the big picture. Everyone has different goals in aviation... hopefully goal #1 is to be happy at work! Everything else is secondary.

I took a huge gamble leaving the left seat after 12.5 years for something I had never done before. It paid off and I am very satisfied I made the jump... but ultimately I did it because I didn't see myself being 'happy' long term at NJ. Others do, and I will always wish them the best of luck. I have many very close friends still there. I hope NJ pilots get everything they deserve going forward, they have earned it.

This thread will rapidly turn positive in NJA's favor when the airline guys who will be furloughed someday from the next religion of peace attack begging for a job there. What's hot today won't be tomorrow...

Not trying to be a d!ck....Just been around through many tumultuous times...At some point, we're all going to be left with a few scattered frac jobs available again. Just enjoy life already.

Just look how quickly that Atlas thread went to $hit...

Assuming NetJets is impervious to the next crapper, you might be right.
