Questions for any NetJet guys/gals out there:
I have an interview coming up and I'm wondering what life is like now. When I applied back in Jan. of 2002 I heard nothing but great things...sounded like the best place on Earth to work. I know there are on going debates about the contract that was supposed to be settled already but with that aside what's it like now?
I'm wondering specifically about the 7/7 schedule--does everyone have that or is that senior or junior or what?
Also along those lines...if the sched goes from Sun thru Sat...are you traveled from/to your gateway on Sun and Sat?
Upgrade time--Are we talking 6 months or a year or two. Does it depend on the airplane and is it strickly
by seniority?
Pay--What is first year F/O pay? I've heard various numbers...I believe the $27,000/yr is the correct one but I
have also heard that it's not difficult to work O.T. and make extra cash that way. Any comments?
Currently I'm flying for a non-sched night freight operation with a 2 week on/off sched....with the prospect of being junior assigned to Asia(28 days on/24 days off) all the time when I upgrade. Even more time away from my family. A year and a half ago NetJets was a place to retire. Is that still the case? Does it depend on this contract(money)? I'm looking for a little more time at home...a faster route to the left seat, but at the same time I can't starve my family waiting for a decent pay check to come in. I'm just trying to figure out if I'm better off where I'm at.
If anyone can help with some or all of these questions I would appreciate it.
