On the orange site they have listed multiple bases now. How does it work say with an MSP base? I see a lot of negative with the schedules, but the pay, per diem, a set schedule with 6/3 knowing the days you'll have off seem okay compared to what I'm currently doing which is similar. You get to keep all airline, hotel, car rental, and gas points correct? Are the company credit cards in your name when you're on the road? If you're MSP based do they airline you our on day 1 and back on day 6?

The schedule needs adjusted. We all know that. Beyond that - It's not too bad a gig. And I'm the first to admit that I have a hard time finding the positive in anything. Do you work here MR JT8D?

To answer the question. You airline on Day 1 and usually in the afternoon of day 6. Don't expect to be home early on that last day. Usually doesn't happen. However, I usually don't have extremely early day 1's either. My experience anyway. You keep all the hotel, airline, car points. Lately we live in the Hilton family - which is usually fine. You do know your days on and off which is good. If you have a family, it's just not enough recharge time at home. My biggest complaint. That and getting a crew meal on a busy day is like pulling teeth sometimes.....

Netjets is no doubt a great company to work for, as long as you're happy keeping the right seat warm for the foreseeable future.
As for the schedule - Still just the rumors of a change. Nothing from management yet.
