Netjets looking for pilots/ AIN

[acaTerry]

I'd like to wait too, but on my second airline now, and things just keep getting more hopeless...
Also I was told to get in before they get rid of the gateways system, which would be a possibility in the next contract. Remember when you couldn't go wrong with an aviation career?

If you work a "flex" schedule (19-21 days/month) and stay on the road as oppposed to sitting around your gateway you can make in the mid 30's, maybe upper 30's. Add to that what you're paying now for medical, dental, etc. and also commuting cost assuming you would live in a gateway city.

Don't count on the flex pay. The company cut the amount of pilots who could bid it from 10% to 5% of the total pilots per fleet today. It will be pretty senior now.

Thanks, I thought everyone had the option to bid flex. I didn't realize it was limited.

That's probably what they told you in the interview, but today they lowered the flex to 5%. The company would rather sell off than pay the company pilots. It's gotten ugly and it's gonna get uglier.

Thanks, I thought everyone had the option to bid flex. I didn't realize it was limited.

Thanks all for the info, I'm considering a temporary career change 'til things get better, starting pay is 70 grand for sitting in a freight train.
