Uh...is Netjets the same as FlexJet ?...I dunno' and I don't care.
I was with ATA for 15 years, had 16-18 days off/month, was the #1 F/O in MDW for a few years and a Senior Captain for about 12.
Always held my 1st-3rd choice and was home with my young Son for 16-20 days a month with turns etc.
Never missed a Holiday, Birthday, T-Ball game, etc.
Kalitta would NEVER have worked for me before ( even five years ago ) BUT, for now.....K4 ( Connie ) is the best job I have ever had and I would not even consider applying elsewhere.
I'm an Old Bastard with the Luxury of not giving an "EFF" as I have no upward career aspirations and am just biding time.
However, if I were a younger Man, this would be a pretty damn good place to park it for a bit (If they hire you ) until your Dream Job calls.
Just ask some of our 25-30 year old 747 Captains who have just transitioned to UAL, AA, etc. ( And, who have had to take large Pay Cuts to do so. Yes, you heard that correctly.)
Good Luck to you all, whatever works for you at this time in your Lives.
