good luck convincing people to come and stay at Netjets with that attitude.

Funnier still is the analogy of the grass is always greener. For new hires at Netjets, we can't see our neighbor's grass. We are looking out of our apartment at the highway.

I'll come back in 2 years when Netjets gets sold by BH to see how it's going.

Try to stay classy Buckeye , you will be missed : )

This is known as the 'Great Netjets talent inversion'. Basically, the more senior you are here, the least capable aviator you are likely to be. Why? Those who could leave (roughly pre-2005), did leave. Those who stayed, couldn't leave mainly due to lack of ability/resume/ambition/etc. And now they're all smug, talentless "captains" convinced of their superiority...and most had done essentially nothing of value in their lives before coming here. Said another way, skill level is inversely proportional to seniority here.

And you're right...alot of these pretentious douche bags sit around on the union board talking down to people as though they somehow earned their positions. Sickening.

[QUOTE=Jetlife;2278657]If only we had a mandatory retirement age. We'd dramatically improve safety, reduce unnecessary attrition, and create a normal career progression...imagine that.

Gummers love money - and they're willing to do anything for it.

Unless you really enjoy the Citations and Embraer corporate world, airlines have a superior QOL than Netjets in terms of :

-Pay ( the gap is growing)

-Retirement (netjets has a good retirement, just not as good)

-Schedule (with average seniority I'll spend 7 nights out of my bed in Feb)

-Travel benefits (yes they do work in the airlines)

-Seniority progression

-Standardization (netjets is as standardized as they come in the biz jet world)

-Pre/post flight work

In today's world, the only advantage I see for Netjets is the home basing if you want to live anywhere other than an airline base.

Netjets is a very good company, but the seniority progression and schedule are two very big drawbacks IMO.

These are all solid points and valid. I can assure you my NJA experience did not get my resume looked at by UAL in 2013. However, it will get to a point where PIC won't be required by the majors, but still desired.

NJA was a good job, but a terrible career.

Guys,strive to be happy, and prosper wherever you are, be good , out !!! : )

[QUOTE=Heywood2;2278601]He gave his opinion which is what most of us are looking for on this forum. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Netjets works for many people which is great - and they should share why it works for them if they so choose. But more important, we should hear why it does not work for others so that people can evaluate and potentially avoid bad career choices... That is the value of this website IMO.

LOL this website is the biggest byotchfest outside of the cockpit itself : ) more crying here than at a romcom, more drama too : )

The union board is 100 times worse...full of propaganda, disingenuous tripe, insults, jealousy, lies, and misinformation - and those are just the posts from Tree.
