Sorry, but that number is inaccurate. We don't average anywhere close to 10 per month. We are closer to 4-6 per month. December and February we're higher than the average. I can also guarantee 100% of the attention is not going to the airlines. I would guess around 2-3 to the airlines and 2-3 retire.
We lost 122 in 2017 with an almost 50/50 split pic/sic though the sic was extremely skewed towards guys who had been hired in the last few years. The company doesn’t care despite the latest email. We will just keep getting the good guys from all the crappy 135 operators.

NetJets has had one class per month, <10 in January and about 20 in February. They say they will have another class in March and want to hire 100+ this year. This is all subject to change at a moments notice. With that being said if a pilot from FlexJet, TMC, XOJet.... were to apply, my opinion is they would get eyes on their paperwork.

I can’t confirm or deny that rumor. I won’t be a company cheerleader of bash them either. Just the facts.

Again, I can give you what I have heard first hand. They said that is was a mistake not hiring people with 121 backgrounds. Does that change things going forward, time will tell. At this point nothing surprises me. As many have said for a long time, they need a lot of people yesterday.

From: Retired NJA & AA
This manager also said any NJA pilot who recommends someone, that someone goes to the top of the stack. So if you really, really, want to work at NetJets and know a pilot there ask them for help. FYI the Union is discouraging helping the company out like this thou, they would prefer NJA having to improve quality of life to attract more pilots.

I left Netjets with seven years of seniority to go to SWA. In June I will be four years with SWA. Last year I made $175,000 in base pay. The company contributed another $43,000 in retirement between the B-fund and profit sharing. I am holding 50% seniority. I have over 2,000 pilots under me. This year I will receive two raises (One for rolling into 5th year pay, One for contract cola adjustment). I pretty much work the schedule I want.
By the end of the year, my W-2 will approach $200K with the company kicking in about 50K towards retirement.
I have no regrets going to SWA.
