CP meant co-pilot, not Chief Pilot. Obviously I couldn't be your Chief Pilot if I haven't landed on property yet...but your mistake is understandable since you are run ragged on such a rough schedule .

We stay in very nice places most of the time (except when the best hotels truly aren't available, which is rare). We keep our hotel points and airline miles. Crew food is plentiful and of good quality (never heard anyone ever complain of losing weight after starting work with us!). We are REQUIRED to have 10 hours of rest, and if you find your rest being shorted due to late hotel vans, poor check-in procedures, noisy hotel guests, whatever, then you have the option of telling (not asking) the company to give you additional rest. You cannot be extended on the 7/7 schedule, can only be extended once a month for one day on the 17-day schedule, and can generally count on being home after 7 days max on the flex schedule (not to mention having 3 schedules to choose from!).

Back to NetJets. There are better jobs and there are worse jobs. I am thankful to be employed by them. Now, on to the minuses:
1.Pay. It is comparable to the regionals.
2.Training. We do a lot, but most of it is worthless.
3.Line Flying. Captains who never swap pax legs, even with co-captains.
4.Local 284.
5.Scheduling.
6.Lack of sleep.
7.Self disclosures.
8.Training Contract.
9.5 year FO pay scale.
10. Airlining.
11. The total CYA mentality on the road.
