But the loss of the 21 (I think) gateway cities and reduction to just 3 is what has kept me from making the plunge.

5, not 3, but otherwise I totally agree. They're DAL, LAX, CMH, TEB, and PBI.

So net jets won't allow you to live away from domicile?

 

[theskyking]

You can live anywhere you want. It's just your responsibility to get to your domicile for your scheduled show time. You find out your show time the night before.

 

[CA1900]

Yep, as he said, you can live wherever you want. There's no limitation that you have to live within a certain distance or drive time from your base (like I believe CitationShares requires); you just have to show up at your assigned time, which will show up on your Blackberry by 6pm the night before. It won't change to any earlier; no 2am phone calls or anything of the sort.

Did it always use to be like that?

Hi!

7 days in a row sucks! I would never do it!

Wait a second....I just started a duty period of 11 days, and last month I had 19 days on in a row. And, 10 days in a row is typical at my airline. Maybe 7 isnt' so bad?

The commuting situation sux rocks, however. I would like to be home based or be able to use MKE, ORD or MSP. I would love Netjets, but I don't know if I want to commute until 2010+, when the current contract ends.

Get some decent cities into your "domicile" system, and I think you would be overwhelmed with applicants. You probably are getting plenty, anyway, though. Too bad about the crap domiciles.

As far as the bases go... long story. The bottom line is if you can move or commute you will still be better off.

How do you commute if you can't jumpseat?
Are you talking about just buying airline tix to get to work or is there something I'm missing here?

Jumpseating options at NetJets are extremely limited. When I say commute, I am talking about driving or purchasing airline tickets on your own dime. It is certainly an added expense, but one that many of our pilots see as acceptable. Normally, you only need to purchase a ticket one way, because in most cases the company will fly you home after a tour on their dime.

Depending on your situation, this can be a deal killer of not that big of a deal at all.

In other words: Can you take Southwest there one way for <$100?

Yep. Exactly.
