It makes sense that if they have 7 or 8 of these Nextants with approx. 40 pilots crewing them that those crew get first option to upgrade but why not be honest with people applying for a job in the belief they are going to join the Legacy or Lear 75 fleet to be told at interview you first have to fly the Nextant and be trapped for 2 years.
probably because things are changing rapidly and they are nit set in stone at the time of your interview. However - you’re right that it would make more sense to manage expectations early on and not waste time for everybody. Again, I never really understood (or agreed) the strategy of employers to not disclose the basic employment conditions prior to an recruitment and interview process.
