@That is good for the whole industry.
IŽd doubt that.
Quote of an exchange I had with a handler recently:
You know, there are others that like to be handled or get slots, but yeah, there is a NetJets in front of you and even if he came after you they are better business than you are.
And that happens a lot on NJE frequents bases and meanwhile also at some of their maintenance bases. Try JA DUS to do something on your airplane whilst an urgent NJE aircraft is there.
And no, not bitter. Had tried to join 4 times (3 times no response at all) and turned them down on 4th occasion since I had a commitment by then.
Still, as a pilot I think its good on a short time base for pilots.
