OK. Is this what you want to hear?

Netjets have established with INAC that their pilots have no fixed base. Their base is wherever the aircraft happens to be at any particular time. No amount of positioning counts towards duty time despite the Portuguese equivelent of the ANO insisting that time out counts as 100% and time back at 50%. All one can assume is that the Netjets cheque book has been used unscrupulously.

All you wannabees out there. There is no such company as Netjets Europe. Pilots are employed at the convenience of Lisbon through various worthless holding companies located around the world.
Put simply, what redress do you have when your salary is reduced by 30% or you get fined for upholding standards or fired with no explanation. Many ex's are trying to establish jurrisdiction somewhere. Time will tell.

Does this sound like a dream job? Current "happy" pilots just haven't been shat on. (yet).
