It can be, but it highly depends. If you can get the schedule you want that's a big help. Money is pretty good, at least for capts. At the present time people are stuck in a certain airframe with no hope of upgrade or transition to better fleet.
They still wear many hats as I described earlier. Flying is only one part.

Full disclosure: I have never worked for NetJets, however I did work for one of their main competitors for many years. The companies operated almost identical.
 
It's basically one week on, one week off, isn't it?

NetJets has a few different schedules. 7 on 7 off is probably the biggie. They also have some sort of 18 and 15 day flex. Different people like different schedules, so there's no single best schedule. That said, while on your 7 on, and while on duty, you are subject to the asap phone call.

I believe the $80k is spread over four years.
That said, I would have no desire to work as a regional FO for four years. It's still not a lot of money. Upgrades are about seven years at most regionals so I'm told. There are a couple exceptions.

Much faster than that especially i you go in with most of the time ... Average is about 2 -2.5 years for those that need the 1000 turbine or whatever the airline required to upgrade

I know a really wealthy lawyer that flew his own 210 then 340, made millions doing casino contracts, then decided '**** this'. Last I heard he's flying for Net Jets.

I have a friend at Republic but he is leaving for PSA. He says it will be years before he upgrades at Republic and he's already been there a year. He thinks 6 months to a year for upgrade at PSA. To be honest, I don't follow the regionals that closely. I only know that much because of friends there.

Why??
 
Actually I'm in ord as we speak, waiting to jump seat home on Republic.
 
Henning said:
Because he had far more money than he would ever need, and wanted to fly jets around to spend his time.

Yeah, but why work like a dog on someone else's schedule and clean up after people?
You got that much just buy your own machine and have fun!!

No, Larry wasn't a wasteful guy, he needed a reason to spend money. Besides, cleaning up messes for executives is what he did as a lawyer as well. It's not bad, it is more fun on a yacht though, I will say that, you get to be the proverbial fly on the palace wall.

It's not enough to just have fun, you should have fun and be productive simultaneously.

Well, than I guess there's no hope for this guy!!
 
The only thing I can recommend is to ask for help at Papers gear, they usually provide with a good piece of advice concerning resume writing. However, you need to check if they can help with such professional areas...

A float Twotter in USVI is certainly an interesting 121 job, but not real typical.

We all have our preferences, but personally I have the most disdain for on demand 135 work. Living on a beeper, and being my own aircraft cleaner, caterer, baggage handler, flight attendant, valet parker, dispatcher, and you name whatever else, just was miserable. 121 life? Easy street.

Indeed, however flying some crackerjack RJ ain't my cup of tea, just isn't as fun as flying a twotter on floats, or anything on floats.

I fly on demand 135, I'm home every night, week on week off, no cell phones or beepers, I don't carry bags, or fly some rich arse around, I'm paid well and have great bennies, it's more like working for a fire department, I go on duty at our base, BBQ, watch some TV, sleep, whatever, if a call comes in great, if not I just go home at the end of my shift.
 
It's a bit later and I'd be interested to hear the outcome of the OP's interview.

In the general job search world - resumes get you an interview. Interviews get you an offer. Accepting the offer gets you the job. If you already have the interview, I wouldn't worry a lot about the resume.

Now - if you want resume help, here's my general suggestion on how to write a good resume - be warned, it's a rather long process

1) Figure out what job you want
2) make a list of all the attributes that you think are important for that job.
3) from your past jobs, pull out accomplishments that demonstrate those attributes. Note that an accomplishment is something unique that you achieved.
3a) I used 3x5 cards - accomplishment on one side, attributes on the back in order to organize these.
4) Now write your resume by listing your past employment with a one line job description for each position. Under each job, put the appropriate bullet items.
5) Header at the top, footer at the bottom.

Edit to a single page.

You're done.

Now when you interview, use your resume accomplishments as the stories when you answer questions. If you get a question like "tell me about a time when you had a challenging assignment", then you think about your resume, pick a challenging assignment and start telling the story about what the challenge was and what you did during that accomplishment. What you'll be doing is telling them with every answer that you have the attributes they want to see.

It's a strong search strategy. Hope it helps someone.
