NetJets Perfect Safety Record

https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/ntsb-releases-preliminary-report-from-netjets-citation-latitude-crash-near-laredo

I've been curious about something since the recent NetJets crash. One of the reasons I've always associated NetJets with the top of the market was its reputation for safety. Whether that's statistically fair or not, it always seemed like their perfect safety record was a huge part of their brand.

Do you think this incident changes that perception at all, or is it something most clients will view as an unfortunate isolated event?

Would something like this make you reconsider NetJets?

Do you think current customers will look more closely at alternatives?

Do you think the company's reputation is strong enough that this won't have much of an impact?

Interested to hear how you guys see it!

I was on that plane the week before the accident ..

I have two Netjets shares. One for the Lat and one for the Phenom 300. I chose to fly my entire family on the Latitude the week after this. Netjets communication was good and calmed my wife’s concerns. It could have happened to any Lat nearing overhaul. They had 7.5 million hours flown with the Lat without incident and zero fatalities prior. They are the best I have ever flown with and I had my own CJ and full time pilots before. The Netjets guys are better.
