Is there one?
I'm a college senior graduating in May and looking to make the next step. My ultimate goal is NetJets.
The option to go to the regionals is always there, however I have heard that if the new TA passes, NJ will become more picky when filing through their resumes. Basically, they will be taking less regional guys and more 135/91 guys. Any truth to that?
I also may have an option at a Citation 135 job. At this point, this may seem like the more logical path to pursue. However, the schedule and upgrade time at this company has more uncertainty than any other 121 carrier. Last I heard, the guys at this company work a 14on/7off and are mostly ON the road for 13 out of those 14 days. Seems pretty rough. (7/7 schedules due appeal to me...that seems like a great medium between airline and typical corporate ops). I guess that's called paying my dues though...
The pros of the 121 carrier seem to be I can get on with a company with a quicker upgrade and more flexibility with scheduling. TPIC possibly sooner.
The cons...having 121 exp. all over my resume may not look as good in the future at NJ as it has in the past.
WWYD?
