yep, done that. And I checked all the threads on here.
Would be nice to get some ACTUAL information / comments from people withing GlobalJet. Current situation, outlook, working atmosphere etc.
Normally pilots complain all the time and I haven´t seen much GlobalJet guys complaining here on pprune. So either everybody is happy there or they are just too busy flying

AKA "Global Joke" by company aircrew
Amateurs with a capital A.
Classic case where operation has exanded too fast - inexperianced small aircraft management playing with "big boy toys".
Contract appears attractive but weighed in company favour.
Poor rostoring with constant changes. In principle 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off but always longer on duty (vacation & training also deducted from days off).
Account department a mess with late payment of monthly salaries & personal expense claims.
Generally disorganised.
Poor hotels, although management have had to back track somewhat on earlier decisions.
All Russian clients - French run.
French nationals pay minimal income tax on Luxembourg contract (favourable double taxation agreement - grey area!?), other nationalities very high tax.
Hire & fire mentality hence the lack of feedback.

A. (like amateur?)
How can they become so big if they are so unorganised?
What are the SOP's like?
I heard they have now around 45 planes?
Do the pilots all swallow this?
Do the clients like it?
is there a change?

Check the registrations. They're collecting AOCs, moving aircraft from one register to another and go where regulatory pressure is the lowest.
If I were one of the owners I would feel stuffed by the contract and the way it's implemented (not), but it looks like most don't even realize it. Or maybe they just enjoy it?
I guess the bell should have ringed by now

Regulatory Pressure Increasing – Jepps out of date again
Recent audits & ramp checks by the authorities have revealed out of date Jeppesen documentation & poor monitoring of fuel & weather.
Surprising lack of support for the company – it would suggest that company personnel concur with comments so far.

44 with the latest addition.

Austrian (OE) registration has large financial incentives - cash back I believe in the region of 10% hull value – maybe someone can confirm this?

This listing is fully right. I'm positive about that. Some aircrafts look like not op
Definitly not. If you don't believe it, check the registration marks online for the operator.

for the Swiss one (in English)
By the way, heard that the guys at the Luxembourg office are heavily overloaded with work, e.g. one guy had only one day off in a 6 months timeframe (including weekends and public holidays). Might be only a rumour, who knows?

a lot of their crews left and came to Netjets so it cannot be that great , the 15 on / 15 off is in fact 17/13 as you start and finish the day before and the day after if the next crew is not sick and you are not in Novosibirsh...they are succesfull like jet av used to be with the middle Est customers in SWiss ,GJ is cleaning dirty money from the Russians via the management of their airplane.... in the quite secretive Luxemburg Banks. simple !
