Upgrade came in Initial Ground School, the first week of employment.

Trapped on the bottom!

When conditions change they should be honest to the person they are interviewing. As a family that was misled, I appreciate the fact that you guys are trying to provide straight answers to the pilots asking about employment at NetJets. We just waved a friend away, and he got on at AirTran for much better pay. I hate being jeered at for my husband's job. How conviently some here forget about seat locks and families. To get out of the former, hurts the latter. How many can afford to pay back the cost of training?! My family has decided to fight against this POS TA/classic example of corporate greed.

Ah, yes. And what was it that happened a few months later. Uh. Wait. Don't tell me. I'll think of it sooner or later. All I know is that in the fall of that year, the brakes were applied. And it wasn't just OSAMA. It was the economy in general. NETJETS WILL NEVER GROW AS FAST AS IT DID BACK IN THE LATE 90'S. It's a fact. Most companies will never grow as fast as they did back in the late 90's. It was a one-time boom. Similar to the 20's before the Depression put the brakes on. Then everyone comes back down to reality. Netjets will still grow for sure. Just not at 1 plane a week. Maybe more like 1 or 2 planes a month. Still impressive. But not nearly fast enough to afford an upgrade in 2 years.
