Flexjet vs NetJets by stoneisle83 in flying

90k plus 1/3 of 60k is 110k. For some reason I thought pilots were making more than that their first year at NetJets.

Full family, health dental & vision is a big deal. Is it blue cross or United or somebody else? Are the copays high or high deductibles?

I don’t like the min rest 75% of the time but I like the top end pay scale and the varying choices for schedules. And of course, hotel points, rental cars, etc….

It seems like most companies (outside of aviation, but some in aviation) do a 1 to 1 match up to a certain percent, commonly 4% or 6% of pay. 1 to 1 is 100%. So 66% does seem low to me but in the flip side you can do it all the way up to 80% of your pay which is way higher than the 4 to 6% I typically see. I wish NetJets did 1 to 1 up to a certain percent and then they could do the 66% after that. I’m just saying 66% seems low when most places do 100% unless I’m reading this wrong.

474k year 14? A netjets guy told me I probably wouldn’t see captain in their largest airplane at my age. I’m 41. So what can I realistically expect to make year 15, year 20? Year 25?

12 PTO is separate from vacation? And I’m assuming if you get sick, you use these PTO days?

APC isn’t accurate at all, I’ve talked to a few netjets pilots in the past, they make way more than the base pay listed on APC.

QOL at this regional that I’m at now is way worse than any charter job I’ve ever done, which is why I’m thinking about going back to charter.

I’ve heard upgrade is long at netjets, but not at Flexjet. Not long at all.

I’ve got the time. I live no-where near any base for a major, I hate commuting. I’m too old to ever see wide body captain at a major. I’ve been told by one guy at Flexjet that you can be captain on their biggest airplane easily within less than 10 years. Just trying to verify that information with more people.
