Future netjets wannabees, Jenvey is not telling the complete story, but only showing the good bits. Only after you have bitten the cookie you will see there is a nasty aftertaste:

-Yes we have G5's and the 7X is coming BUT, you have 600 people ahead of you who want to fly these aircraft before you can which realistically means that you will be a co-pilot on a bravo or beechjet for at least a year, then you will be a captain (if you have your 3000TT )on this bravo/beechjet for at least another 3 years and possible more. Now you could be offered to fly a hawker 800 or a Excel if you are lucky. This will keep you busy for another 3-4 years. If you have not pissed off the management so far(meaning: do what you are told, break the rules when they tell you to, exceed the work and rest on a regular basis, fly an aircraft with technical issues which are not written up in the techlog to keep the aircraft flying etc) you will be called to fly an falcon 2000 (no, not the easy mate, that will take more time......)
As you can see we are getting close to more then at least 10 years before you are getting close to the "comfort airplanes"

DID YOU HAVE THAT IN MIND ?? Ok then you should join. But do not just follow blindley what Jenvey is telling because that is only halve of the story. You just do not fly the NICE aircraft within 10 years.

I agree with previous remark that there is no perfect job. However before you give up your precious airline job, think again. Netjets has not been a very kind company towards it's employees. Only because of pressure from Unions, courtcases and VERY PISSED OFF PEOPLE that were running away by the dozens ( close to 80 this year alone) Netjets has decide to "improve a few things" just enough to prevent more people going immidiately.
Airline people came to NJE because they were layed off by all the airlines that went bankrupt, not because of the so called lifestyle, now they can go they will, being pissed of enough by management.

Netjets has not changed. They are still the same as all the hundreds posts describe about things going on within netjets .(just try search)

Netjets is the same old car. They have put new paint on it and want to sell it as a new car. but be carefull, it is a scam.

There are very few people who have been here for more then a few yaers that are still happy. Most who say they are did not qualify for the airlines and are stuck in GA.

Good luck with your decision, but think twice, because must of us are leaving the coming months, that should be a sign................
