Reserve at NetJets

[skyward80]

From what I gather in this thread as well as a few others... pretty much everybody is on a 7x7 schedule (yes, there are exceptions as mentioned above). As a person gets more senior, reserve is actually the way to go. It could mean less days at work for the month (although that's not guaranteed) and more money. Is that a correct statement?

Anybody have any clue as to how this might work at NetJets International? Is it all the same or are there major differences? Thanks to all the NetJets guys for helping out. I'm hoping to go that route very soon.

Mostly correct. It is definately more money up front and a couple of days off less per month. On the reserve schedule, one can not look 4 months down the road and say "I am off on the 27th" as you can if you 7&7 it.

The term "reserve" at NetJets is a terrible way to describe the schedule. Flex or Alternative would be better. When compared to 121, ALL NJA pilots are on reserve. None of us knows where or when we will be going or what FBO we spend the day in until we are actually doing it. There is also no sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring on a NJA reserve schedule. You will get the same instructions as the 7&7 holders. The reserve schedule is a good deal for those who are flexible on their days off.
