SCT,
Before you take Netjetwife to task (nutjetwife is soooo immature..) you might want to consider this.
I may not agree with everything she says, but what is crystal clear from her posts is that shes the wife of a Netjets pilot. As such she makes more sacrifices for her husbands career choice than you'll ever know.
As it ever occured to you boneheads that while you were growing up with the dream of flying, your spouses where probabily not growing up with the dream of being a single wife/mother more than half of her life? If the roles were reversed, could you do it?
So cut her some slack ...
How VERY true and not a lot know that. At least not from some of the previous posts
I am
not associated with NetJets but could not resist in passing comment on this subject of "advice" and/or spouses.
I can recall real well when my spouse was vilified by a certain airline's message board for daring to post - let alone make certain comments - a few years back. How dare she, she's not a pilot, this is a
pilots' board, she's just a Suzy homemaker (actually she has her own very successful, independent career) etc.
It took quite a turn of events for the pilots to accept her occasional posts and like NJW, she too, was careful in knowing where the boundaries were.
As the wife of a pilot she had every interest in knowing and voicing concern, opinion that would not only affect the company but also the our lifestyles especially when the news was usually negative and would involve sacrifices.
I agree with ozpilot 100%. The ones who usually complain are not thinking with their heads. Most likely they are single, have never been in a relationship (at least not a successful long-term one) and do not realise the sacrifices not only the pilots make but also their loved ones. AS NJW says and being ex-military myself, we are a team and as such what affects one affects the other. There are no secrets. It works much better that way.
Come on guys, it's like CRM and it is 2006!!

Give credit where credit is due.
And finally, professionalism does not stop at the cockpit door. We all know from many interview experiences and having paid our dues that looking and sounding professional does matter whether it be on a public message board or attending your umpteenth interview board. First impressions certainly count. How can you expect to be taken seriously if your (yes, it's your and not you're!!

) grammar, spelling and usage is not up to scratch.
Sometimes pilots are their own worse enemies......now, where have I heard that before???
Just my 2 c's worth...............
