They have slowed disposals because of demand.

Hey, Kingair, do you cruise your old highschool in your letter jacket?

So true. With most of the Majors hiring, a lot of young guys are going to get their shot at the gold ring. Hopefully, a lot of young NetJets pilots will get to move on as well. That could open up the upgrade times.

You literally answered your own question. Fractionals have always been a place where retired 121 types can go to continue their flying career. If you've socked $1.5M in your 401k and have your military and airline pensions coming in every month, you don't need to sweat upgrade time.

And you get to fly the most modern equipment to places you never went in your military/121 career. Not much downside there.

Ok...let me rephrase the question then. If you're younger than 65, why would you want to work there? Again, the upgrade time is (literally) NEVER.

Basing? Newbie when it comes to Netjets so just a guess, but for a guy who thinks he could get a better base and really doesn't want the airline commute anymore I could see it being attractive.

I guess if your ego requires you to be addressed as Capt. Van Commander, that would be important to you.

There's a plethora of pilots in the Majors who are very happy to spend their career in the right seat of a widebody. Pay is adequate and they never have to go commuting to chase an upgrade on a narrow body and sit reserve.

You have a point...if upgrade is the key to your happiness. QOL, days off and preferred routes is what does it for a whole lot of pilots.

And hanging out on former employer sites spreading misinformation. You are the coolest.

+1

There's a lot to be said for 7 on/7 off and a ticket to and from work.
