Better trips, schedules, work rules, layovers, pay, and benefits. Oh, and all I need to do is fly.
The only thing I miss from NJ was most of the people. But that is it.

Showing up on time is about the hardest part of my current 121...

I'm 13 years at NJA with a CJO from Delta. I know long term it appears a no brainier, but running the numbers for the first few years is pretty sobering, especially as we may soon have new NJA CBA with a significant pay raise.
QOL, I know Delta wins hands-down over the weekly grind on NetJets' unsustainable pace.
I'm 41 with a kid two years from college and two more in trail. Live in MSP.
I'm very grateful to have a choice on the table. But it's a very significant decision, and aviation is a pretty volatile environment where good decisions can transform into bad ones overnight.

The only thing you'll miss from netjet is the health insurance. However, that should be fixed with the CBA.

I work at an airline where I make more money than I've ever made before and could quadruple my pay from last year (when I was an RJ FO).
But I want out, because I never have time at home to see family and friends. I feel like my life is passing me by as I watch from a cage because I'm always on the road. A wise man once told me, "money can't fix relationships. What does it matter if your wife divorces you and takes half of it anyways?"
Just my .02 as we've never met. Good Luck with your decision, I'd kill for a CJO at Delta.
