|  Fly or be Flown?
This is something that a few friends brought up the other night when we were out. So I thought that I would see what the responses were from those in the industry. I am curious to see the outcome from those currently doing this flying thing for a living!

If it's your damn plane you can elect to pay for your type rating and fly up there yourself. Somebody's thinking. It's me.

I would rather fly, but sometimes I have to be flown.

I'd like to fly, but yet still have enough money to hire some pilots to fly me in my plane.

| Re: Fly or be Flown?
I'm actually curious - my company is thinking of signing on with NetJets. I'm sure this is a long shot, but any chance they'll let me ride jump seat sometime? I'd never ask, but I was just curious if there's even a small possibility that it might be offered to me some day.

Is the cockpit big enough for a jumpseat?

The other consideration is "IF" you jumpseated, you would have no way of getting back home. | |

There's no view like that out the front.

I'd still like to have the kind of scratch that I can dictate when and where I take in that view out the front.  |
