NetJets Consolidated Links

There are various NetJets conversations taking place scattered throughout this site. They represent the accumulation of months' worth of comments, many of which appear to be from employees, ex-employees and flight crew, about events leading up to and (especially) since Warren Buffett ousted Richard Santulli in 2009. Although I am not endorsing particular comments, the NetJets content is of interest to a wide variety of readers because it offers a glimpse into the opinions of people who are unhappy about recent changes (and some who are happy). To make this material more accessible to all, here are the links. NOTE: I have included some key links about Sokol's resignation, but not all of them, because they do not directly pertain to NetJets.

These who want to comment, please do so on one of the relevant pages. COMMENTS MADE ON THIS LINKING PAGE WILL BE REMOVED.

Also, please note that comments containing Wikipedia links will be vetted and will NOT be approved for posting if the page in question appears to violate Wikipedia's editing guidelines.

NetJets Advertising

Alice, NetJets is now advertising on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday morning. Very unusual to see a high-end product like that on there. What do you think that says about how they view the economy, their target audience and their prospects of gaining back market share?
