Some good advice from veetail. I would not say your experience is insufficient for the E120, they do seem to have trouble recruiting for that fleet, everyone wants straight onto the jet. As with most outfits, if you knew anyone there, that would be a great help.
Some think they have a big stack of CVs on file of suitable jet rated people to choose from for positions on the F100 or Braz and others say they are desperately short of crew and are hiring low timers.
Both. People with the right experience are putting resumes in getting a call doing an interview reading the fine print and going no thanks. Which leaves the lower time guys to take the job.
Just who is the CP there these days?? Who is the Flt Ops Mgr?? Which is the best to try and speak to?? Please PM me if u dont want to name names on here. Have sent in CV every time they advertise for the Braz over several yrs, never heard a thing back.
frq Cb, yes calling is usually very hit or miss, usually miss as they won't let u talk to anyone, even HR at many places which makes everything even more frustrating when u are looking.

One bloke they took on the F100 as FO has 10,000+ hrs, mostly jet.
If ten thousand hours is low time, then not many people stand a chance at getting a job...
A lot of the F100 DEC have significant experience flying for large airlines across the globe, in aircraft from 737 to A330 and everything in between. They choose to take the job, among other things for lifestyle/family reasons. They are valuable additions to the company. All the latest FO's bar one have previous jet experience.
A lot of people on here and in particular, this thread, tend to contribute a lot of inaccurate and baseless s%&t. If you think this is helping people who are genuinely interested in applying for a position at a company such as Network, you are not. Unless you have something useful to offer, keep ya traps shut.
Yes, Network has seen a lot of growth over the past 10 months and there is still a steady stream of employment (not the "desperate for anyone" type as other posters suggest) across the entire company, but it won't last forever. So if the job appeals to you, and you meet the minimum requirements then do the research, do the study and stick your app in.
My reference/experience was to the FO positions which their recruiting for was shambolic at best so I wasn't surprised at the complaints on here. Hopefully since they have got their stuff together.

Yeah that's just ONE guy, you need more than that to run a flight department. What was the average?

Are you talking about T&Cs, the actual recruiting/interview process, or both? What was shambolic in your view? I'm only curious because you suggest that the higher time guys are saying 'no thanks' because one or all of those things is in your view, not acceptable. The reality would suggest otherwise, and to answer your second question, and its a guess at best because I don't know exactly how many hours each and every guy has, but based on knowledge of their careers and age I would estimate the new FOs would average 2000 jet hours, ranging from at least 800 hours on jet right up to 10,000 for 2 or 3 of them. As for the captains, I would say anywhere from 5000 hours jet upwards. As someone mentioned months ago (and many didn't believe it), they have recruited guys (captains and FOs) from Jetstar, Dragon, Ryanair, Mango, to name a few, so I'm struggling to see the validity in your comments, with due respect. Indeed your expereicne may have been a bad one, I'm not discrediting you, but it was your experience, not that of every person that attempted to get a job there.
It can be "Fandango" for all I care. (look it up). Thanks for all the informed posts above. Basically it's no jet time, no job as a F100 FO. That seems to be the situation based on the above info.
How's life out there on the Bras folks? Any movement on the jets? T@C's ok?heard on the grapevine there's a new fleet manager. How's that working out for y'all?
