Non Airline Crew Bases
Hello Everyone,
I am a current corporate pilot extremely excited to begin the application process with NetJets. I was looking through the crew base list on the NetJets website and noticed some crew bases with no airline service such as Van Nuys and Teterboro.
Would you begin your rotation with a NetJets tail on your first day and not airline into position on day one at these bases?
Does living in a base like VNY or TEB increase FDP pay since you are theoretically flying on Day 1 and 7 and not airlining?
I greatly appreciate all the answers and the wealth of information on this forum.
Thank you

The other factor is, as with many things Netjets, what is your fleet assignment. If you end up on a smaller sized fleet, pure numbers wise you are less likely to start in base. If you get on a larger sized fleet, the numbers start to go in your favor that there happens to be a plane at your base that needs a crew.

When I was EWR based I was still just getting in a limo to go to TEB or HPN. I rarely airlined at all being based out of there.
My highest grossing tours would be when I was based out of there because you always flew on day one and day 7 or 8. There is always a reason to get a plane back to TEB.
Also being TEB based I literally covered every airport. PHL, TTN, BLM, EWR, JFK, LGA, HPN, BDL, GON, FRG, FOK were all pretty much my bases too.

I've been TEB based before and you will pretty much pick up a plane there and drop it off day one and day 7 or 8.

The company can have you take a rental car for up to 150 miles and they can put you with a chauffered vehicle for pretty much an entire duty day if they so choose. They can also have you arrange your own taxi or Uber, but I don't remember how long that can be.

Lots of guys don't feel comfortable driving from TEB to FOK. Me I don't care since I've grown up in the area but it's usually my choice.
Plus I like having a rental car out on the island to find food.
