NJ or CS

[cush]

I work for Netjets. I wouldn't trade my seat for any flying job in the industry. Enough said.

Two good things at CS are :
1. Quick upgrade - 18 mos to 2 yrs.
2. Large number of bases

Additionally, I have never been treated better by any company that I've worked for.

Netjets...

Pros...
1. Size of company.
2. Size of fleet.
3. Berkshire Hathaway.
4. Union.
5. Medical.
6. 401k.
7. Marquis Jet.
8. Santulli.
....we do work long and tiring days, but they do not question fatigue calls.

Cons...
1. Limited Domiciles.
2. Starting pay. Higher than most, but still too low. (Maybe the arguement should be 2nd year pay and higher).

Happy here and not looking to leave.

Serious answer from current CS guys please. I'm in the upper third of the seniority list at CHQ and seriously thinking of a transition (4 years of airline flying is really burning me out with incompetent management, outright abuse and negligence of passengers and employees, rotting days away in PHL, ROC, etc.) I'm a divorced father active in my son's life so NJ isn't an option with the current base structure. Former freight dog who misses variety, and not afraid to smile, say "sir", load luggage etc.

Questions: what are costs of medical insurance for employee +1? Do you have many pilots who have made the RJ to CS transition? How competitive is 5000tt with 1300 121 PIC and 2 years of college (no bachelor's yet)? Are you able to specify your base? Based on APC my pay cut would be about 35 percent gross; how much per-diem do you typically use on the road? Opportunities for OT/extra flying? Thanks in advance.

I don't think I'd totally write NJ off. It seems to me a 7/7 schedule would be somewhat commuteable--of course depending on where you live. Plus, you can be flown home to whatever city you want (you pay the extra, if any) on your last day. Therefore, commuting NJ could come down to two one-way airline tickets (perhaps < $100 each) and two hotel rooms a month (?@$400?). Not the greatest deal, but still just a cost to be figured into the budget.

The Reserve NJ schedule, however, is not easily commuteable.
