Competitive?

Basically....some fractionals are beter than other.....It all depends on your personal situation.

The 5 Domiciles restriction at NetJets may not work for a person living in New England but another Fraction offering BOS as a base may be more appealing.

I can only hope NetJets' restrictive policy concerning bases increases the hiring at other Fractional with more "liveral" bases requirements.

Once again, the legacy of BB haunts us. So many qualified pilots being cast aside because they live in an undesireable location....according the NutJets.

You don't even need it then, you only need your ATP flying a turbojet with pax. If it's a freighter, you're good with a commercial and a type.

Turbine as stated below means turboprop too, not just turbojet. To say that you only need your ATP flying a turbojet is misleading. If you're a PIC, and you are flying for an "eligible on demand" carrier operating any multi-turbine (turbojet or turboprop) engined aircraft, an ATP is required.

§ 135.4 Applicability of rules for eligible on-demand operations.


(a) An “eligible on-demand operation” is an on-demand operation conducted under this part that meets the following requirements:
(1) Two-pilot crew. The flightcrew must consist of at least two qualified pilots employed or contracted by the certificate holder.
(2) Flight crew experience. The crewmembers must have met the applicable requirements of part 61 of this chapter and have the following experience and ratings:
(i) Total flight time for all pilots:
(A) Pilot in command—A minimum of 1,500 hours.
(B) Second in command—A minimum of 500 hours.
(ii) For multi-engine turbine-powered fixed-wing and powered-lift aircraft, the following FAA certification and ratings requirements:
(A) Pilot in command—Airline transport pilot and applicable type ratings.
(B) Second in command—Commercial pilot and instrument ratings.

What are you talking about? Protection from what? If the company is not doing so well a Union does no good at all. Look at the airlines.

Finnjl, guess CS doesnt need a union then...this article says that they have lost $$$ for the last 7 yrs.
