NJ or CS

[RCA]

I have interviews with both. IF hired WWYD? I did some research, and on paper NetJets seems to be the better choice. However going back on this site just a few years back would indicate the CS was the no questions asked better choice. How do you guys make these types of decisions? At this point I'm hoping one hires me and the other does not.

Oh boy, here we go! Can't wait to see the all these posts. I personally like the fact that at NetJets we have union protection, overtime, holiday pay, and benefits at a better cost. People at CS will say that they don't need a union because they have a great relationship with management, even if totally true, it only takes one thing to destroy that relationship. Obviously if only offered one job, take it. However, if offered both just right down the pros and cons of each and make your decision. You will probably get some ideas for your list on this forum, but it is going to come down to what is right for you. Just trying to say that make sure for yourself what you read is correct before you make your decision.

NetJets.
Strong Union.
Bigger planes, bigger pay, 10 times bigger company.
NJA 401K 50% match up to 15%, vs 6% at CS

Just do a search on the forums.

A big part of your decesion should include where you live. CS has a huge number of bases whereas NJ only has a few. , but where you live, as in, do you want to commute, etc, is a big factor. If you live in a place where NJ and CS has a base, well, then, good luck! There are defintely pros and cons to each.

If you look at the whole aviation community, whether it be cargo, commuter, fractional, corporate, major, etc. what was the top choice several years ago, may be near the bottom now. So Netjets may be the best right now, but what about in five or ten years. No one knows.

Come over to us. Pay is better, S.U. protects you. It is a no brainer.

Or go with them, and fasten your seatbelt for the ride.

What scares me about NetJets is the "strong union" idea. All a strong union means to me is that highly educated CEO's are activily working to make the said union not so strong. Not saying this will happen at NJA, just something I think about. I remember a story about a Wal-Mart in Canada unionizing and the very next month was shut down becuase of "less than expected profit margins"

The "strong union" bolstered NJA's wages to such a degree that all Fractional pilots have benefitted as a result of NJA's wage increases (although FLOPS continues to languish). NJA's union is responsible for bringing respect back to the Fractional community (no longer viewed purely as a stepping stone) - you now have legacy airline pilots who are looking to get into NJA because of both the pay and the QOL/schedule.

Both are great companies but one is much larger than the other and offers a far greater variety of aircraft. Let us know how you do.

Only you can answer that question. Good luck.
