I'm starting to really enjoy the XL/ XLS , second segment climb issues aside, it really is a nice little jet.

The XLS is a nice bird, but dammit if that wing isn't super strait lol.

Is it still a 10 year upgrade in any of the fleets?

Well, kinda. It's been 10 years since we've upgraded anybody, and no upgrades are in sight any time soon.

Look beyond pure wages. What will your local 91/135 operator offer in benefits, schedule, security, ect? As for WU, check out the same thing.
NJA is working on a better contract..so we will see what the future holds. As for long term, you will not make what the airlines make. It really comes to down to all the other stuff. For me, this is the flying I would rather do.

That is a very hard pill to swallow. I'm trying to see the positive side of things but what is the draw to come to NetJets anymore then? If the max someone can make is 100k after ten years of service in the right seat? I am not trying to be inflammatory, but it seems to be a wiser decision to go to a local 91/135 jet gig paying 80k immediately. Or possibly another home based 135 operator like Wheels Up that pays 1st year CA's 95k (that's including per-diem). Upgrade time there is less than a year.

Preliminary Report: Phenom 300 Rolls Off Texas Runway Embraer Phenom 300, Conroe, Texas, Sept. 19, 2014–The NetJets-operated aircraft was substantially damaged in soft terrain and mud at 8:47 a.m. after overrunning the runway while landing at Lonestar Executive Airport. Neither of the ATP-rated pilots, the only people on board, was injured. IMC prevailed for the Part 91 re-positioning flight, which was operated on an IFR flight plan when it departed Nashville International Airport at 7:10 a.m. A tower controller who witnessed the accident said the pilots flew the Rnav Runway 1 approach and broke out of the clouds at the minimums with moderate to heavy rain falling at the time. The airplane touched down just past the 1,000-foot marker but did not appear to decelerate, eventually traveling off the departure end of the runway before coming to rest halfway down a ditch. https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-n...-december-2014 |

Most FO's are wanting to leave? Based on what data?
