3 days at home is too little. 4-5 days at home works well for us

Anything more than 5 days with the type of flying NetJets does, is too much. 7 off is really nice after the 7 on but there is no way to go home not wiped out.

I've worked both schedules, with 8/6 in transition. My wife much prefers to hear me say "see you tomorrow" than "see you next month."

Not everyone finishes a 7 day stretch wiped out.

Some people get winded walking uphill in TEX.

It varies.

I am tired after a 3 day trip

If only that were true. 7 days flying 3-4-5 legs at any job would wipe anyone out.

I love how all the salty, senior NJA rank and file think that because somebody hasn't been there for 15 years, that they are incapable of analyzing the situation they are in. I worked that schedule the entire time I was there, aside from being on the 18 day schedule during and after training for a bid period. Are you saying that 2 years is not long enough for one to realize that 7 days on the road at NetJets is too long to work?

7 days on the road is too long at any company, I said it in the post you conveniently didn't quote. 7 days at NetJets is harder work than other companies, are you challenging that argument? 1 red eye flight overnight is equivalent to constant clock flipping, multiple legs, broken airplanes with an instant airline across the country to another airplane? Come on, I know you hate the airlines and love NetJets and that's fine, but at some point you have to make realistic arguments.

Your comment about fatiguing the same. Are you insinuating that just because somebody doesn't fatigue, that they aren't tired? The multiple captains who have fallen asleep while flying would beg to differ. Oh and the union would beg to differ as well. How many pilots at NetJets have never fatigued once in their careers there? Isn't it 40%? Does that mean they aren't ever tired?

Yea the schedule is too much for most, which is why pay and schedule were the hottest topics in phone surveys. You think a 13 year captain that leaves NetJets for another company is doing it for reasons other than money and schedule QOL? I'm sure the hundreds of people that left NetJets and want to come back, is to get the pay and easy life on the road back.

So why don't you jump on anyone else commenting, 3 people commented on schedule length and yet you quote me... I'm giving my opinion from first hand experience like everyone else.

You assume that anyone who has anything other than unbridled positivity to say about a company, is somehow sad, or angry, or depsressed, or disgruntled. Like most of your posts, it derails the topic at hand and is completely unproductive.
