Zebra saying 3 year upgrades are right around the corner. How come the narrative by some NJA pilots always has to be some fringe, unrealistic salary or that shiny new jets and quick upgrades are right around the corner?
No wonder people go to NJA expecting one thing, yet experiencing another...
Math was never your strongpoint… Among other things.
At best, you made a lateral move to what became a “larger regional” airline with Boeings and Busses.
Your 2015 seniority peer group is upgrading starting now… all of them will be captains next year if they choose.
Upgrade times are dropping rapidly and are now projected at 3 years. They will drop below that within the next 3 years following.
But you have your Airbus… and Sbarro at the food court. It’s all good. We all have what we wanted. Aside from that, however, you NEEDED the structure of an airline, albeit a small “regional major”. You need the schedule, the 10 cities you frequent, the Starbucks you know is between terminal A and B.
The variables at NetJets, the freedom… it was too much for you and created stress for you… and those you worked with and likely those we fly.
You moving on was likely one of the best things to ever happen for this pilot group and company.
Now… if you’d just embrace your choices. Leave the past alone and look to the future you’ve chosen at the company you now work.
Go be happy.
