It is not mike, but,
The positive view is that there is a solid base of customers, I'm not going to reveal numbers on a public website regarding revenue and cashflow, numbers were given to NJE employees on the road show, and will be given to new hires at indoc, after having signed the confidentiality agreement (remember, Hawker, Smeagel, space pig ?). With these numbers, there is a strong probability, that the company would last as long as the other ones, (there is no guarantee in aviation world, sabena ,swissair usw ). Netjets is setting the path of another aviation, somewhere between GA and airline. There is simply NO benchmark, all of you are trying to compare 2 worlds that will never meet; Line trainers living... ok, did these guys really want to be there at the first place or using this position as a leverage to jump seniority ?
Netjets is writing its history, there is good things and bad things and things are moving, may not suit everybody in the short term, but I'm truly convinced that we go in the right direction. ( for your info , I'm with the one's for whom the new deal is not that good). For the new people joining, it will be great, give me ONE name of a company where a C550 captain, year 0 can make 95000 Euros working 200 days a year ? or 50 max per quarter ? with a proper roster ?. Now you are going to tell me how about the G550 captains ? they have the same salary !! This is not really correct, since you (generally) do not start your left hand seat experience at Netjets (year 0) on a gulfstream !!
and for the one who moved sooner to the large cabin, well, may be they had more hours, other type of experience, already have the type rating and the like. EVERY month there is a meeting that decides not only fleet change, but upgrades and so forth...If nobody (even your fleet manager) is able to spell your name, you will be on the queue, it is the same for all companies...
I did change fleet 9 months ago, (one week apart from mike), without asking, having a positive attitude towards your life is a good secret, there is NOTHING personnal at NJE , (I'm tempted to say anymore, even if I never experienced any of this behaviour), the company is too big, roster is set up by a computer, with set datas, very little human input.
This is an aviation company, when you set your foot in, it is for a carreer, if you use it in being desperate or as a jump, you are on the wrong path and you need to correct your pitch....
For all of you still bitching, reporting private forums in a public one, I say again, how worth are your words ? and even worse your signature ? You attitude is childish, irresponsable and reprehensible. You were, all of you, very happy to be fed by NJE, (and still are since you can spend time here, won't be the case in your new life); so face your ego, and visit a specialist.
