Congratulations. Isn't this very rare? It seems like legacies are somewhat reticent to hire either netjets or 135 folks. Either way, this is a very different work environment you are moving into. Im sure not commuting/positioning will be a positive change.

Thank you.
I know of three other NetJets pilots (all PICs) who have gone to Delta in the past year. I can't really speak to the overall statistics, but on my interview day I was the only 91k/135 type there (I do have 121 in my background, including 121 PIC). I feel very fortunate to have received the offer.

A lot of voodoo magic and what-ifs involved in that equation, as anything beyond five years in aviation is an eternity.
Ultimately it came down to potential QOL for me and my family. I live in a Delta base, and that played a large factor in my decision. I'm very much tired of the 7-day trips at NJA and, at my seniority bracket, there is no end in sight for me. Add to that the current tempo of operations at NJA (I'm in the XL) and the utter lack of control over your day-to-day schedule (minus the use of fatigue), I just can't see myself spending 20+ more years at NetJets. Even if I were to get to the top 10% of the seniority list, I'd still be getting the proverbial 0400/1000 show/gos at TEB, etc., etc. as Scheduling seeks their "coverage."
I will miss the actual flying and the people, but, beyond that, I can't think of anything else. Maybe my D6as.

Go!
I'll move up a number.
I'm a retired airline guy been sitting FO for 10 years at NJA....If I had a chance to go back to the majors, I wouldn't hesitate even a microsecond. If you care about QOL, there is no comparison....none.
And layovers! Most NJA guys have no idea what a real layover is because they spend hours on tentative, or hot spare. Life on the road is more than eating a miserable crewmeal out of a plastic box locked in your hotel room because you're too tired to forage!
The only edge a job at NJA has is the actual flying. On some days it is more fun.
