I flew the BE400 at NetJets and can confirm they're a POS. I had one 7 day tour where I never saw the inside of the BE400 because it never came out of mx. Spent 7 days in a TPA hotel. It also has bad performance numbers. Aspen in summer, approaching 80F you're not going to make single engine climb numbers even with just 3200lbs of fuel and no pax. Anywhere hot and high and you're taking just enough fuel to make it somewhere not hot and high to refuel for the destination. I does fly like a large aircraft, I had lots of time on B737, 727, and A320 prior to NetJets. Probably why the USAF uses it for training.
Baggage space is very limited. You frequently have to use the Lav area and put up a cargo net. Pax want to stow their stuff on the aisle unrestrained where it may join you in the cockpit at warp speed.
If you want to fly and not get lots of airline miles going to another jet I'd bid for the CJ3.

Anyone know how much "in base" flying you do? or is like like days 1&8 are usually commuting days?

Two questions:
1. With the inconsistencies still rampant, how do you know which certificate you're applying/interviewing for?
2. If the send you for an SIC type before ATP mins, will they send you back for an ATP ride?
Cheers
