7Boeing7,

If time away from home is a big deal, and something you are already dreading and is hesitant about even berfore you have applied, maybe Netjets isn't the place for you. You WILL be gone the 6 days of tour ( the company owns you from 0400 in the morning of day 1 until 2359 on day 6, maybe a home stand-by every now and then, how much home stand-by depends on your fleet, but I haven't had more than one or two home stand-bys in the last 12 months. Other colleagues have different experiences, but over the time of a career, I would count on being gone during the tours.

My children were born while I've been working at Netjets. They are used to me being gone because they dont know anything different, but your partner will have to pull all the duty when you are gone, it'll be like a single parent situation, and you have to be able to be gone and do your job without distractions for 6 days. It's not ideal but it works for most of us. The advantage is that you can do 100% of everything while at home during your days off.

I may sound negative, but know what you are getting yourself into.
