That will never come, I know as not only did I challenge them, I was the first to win against them after many other failed attempts from others. They hate that.
I can accept when I am wrong, unfortunately NJE cannot.
I still know colleages at NJE that sing it's praises.........right up until they get shafted! Then it's the same story.
If you can keep your nose clean and survive NJE it can be a resonable job. A career??? No way. It will bite you. They will drop you when it is convenient, no question.
I am sorry that you have made such a bad experience with Netjets. This is NOT the norm, though! It may be true that the company does not like to admit to mistakes that former-former-former-former-former-former-former managers have made, but as I have joined the company in 2004 and have seen many management teams come and go, me and 100 to 200 of other very senior pilots will tell you that such management-style is gone. We made our careers, most became captains rather quickly. Some f***ed up repeatedly and had to leave or became victims of the world financial crisis that bit us hard. That is tough and there is nothing to defend the company for doing wrong at times.
2020 was another black spot, yes. As I wrote, I was affected by it as well, but this is not due to the company, but due to management and the guy was axed more than a year ago. Is everything fine now? No. Are many things better now? Yes.
Surely, this company MAY react stupidly in times of crisis, we got the proof for this. But the Netjets that you experienced in 2002 is a completely different company from what it is now. The union is stronger than it was before, in your days at Netjets it did not exist at all.
You can lose your job in any company in times of crisis! I'm rather here than almost anywhere else. Airlines, pffffft, what a boring life. And you have to work.
