Every NetJets aircraft that I've seen has a tail number ending in QS. Knowing aircraft operators, I'm sure it stands for something, but I don't know what.
What does the QS stand for in NetJets tail numbers?

In the United States, tail numbers can be arbitrarily assigned, assuming it is available and formatted per FAA requirements.
NetJets uses QS to identify their planes. According to an article in the May 2002 issue of Flying magazine, "QS represents Quality Service," (page 82).
