Biz Jets, Ag Flying, GA etc.The place for discussion of issues related to corporate, Ag and GA aviation. If you're a professional pilot and don't fly for the airlines then try here.
if you pass they send you a mail asking for your bank account data so that they can take back the money they "will spend for your tranining" , this even befor they let you see or sign a contract...fools...
I'm not wearing this. They will have your bank details to pay you anyway.
Besides, having bank details doesn't entitle withdrawals and that is assuming there are sufficient funds there which there probably won't be as who leaves tens of thousands of Euros in a working current account??? Nah!

Oh yeah? This sounds very interesting. Just wonder who is foolish enough to hook on to sumthin like THAT ?
I don't think anybody will accept this when they start bull@#$% like this...
Even when you are desperate for a job, this is a bad sign what this company is all about.
BTW why did they throw out all the airline guys first? Cant believe they were all bad, were they?
I met a friend last week who is close to breezy (ex RAF) - "allegedly" they have no owners yet
Let's see:
Nobody has posted anything here to suggest there are any sales to date; the company has been big on PR, boasting about 2000 pilot CV's being received, it has talked of shiny aircraft due, smart liveries, 14 pilots being given contracts, being "ahead of sales expectations", expecting to be flooded with work over Easter, offering travel agencies commission etc., ...but it has chosen not to release one supportive fact that these fractions are actually selling, or at least that cards are being sold aplenty. Strange, that!
If you're actively pumping out PR every month, why not do the one PR statement that would prove that people are opening their wallets, to encourage others that they're missing out by waiting?
After 9 months and over £2m of costs, I guess they must have sold some ...14 crew = 6 aircraft = 36 owners needing to be convinced.
I am sure they will have signed at least 20 by now.
hi everybody.
jr is starting to interview again, does anybody has more detailed infoes about the selection process?....technical interview? hr interview? sim session?
A UK-based private jet company is slashing prices of its Learjets by $1m (€715,000) as part of a part-ownership buy-back programme, in an attempt to garner interest from cost-focused clients. Jet Republic is launching the Free to Fly programme, which lets members purchase a brand new Learjet 60 XR in full for a negotiated price of $13.5m compared with $14.6m, as part of a five year buy-back scheme. The scheme allows 200 flying hours per year without paying hourly fees. After five years, Jet Republic will guarantee to buy back the aircraft from the owner at 50% of the original cost. This is an estimated annual saving on the operational costs of owning a mid-size jet of $2.1m per year - over a five year period equal to $10.5m, said Jet Republic.
JR offering guarantees! Against what security?? In the event of financial failure, what protects the owner from being stuck with his asset and unable to sell it back to Breezy! Don't tell me the administrators would cough up 50%...
Perhaps someone will post the small print of who's the guarantor
I am not sure what they will ask , but may I ask what kind of experience you have? I wonder if they only pick out highly experienced people or not. Thanks
Not too much experience!!! Only 3000 hours TT, but all of them in corporate jets! I am surprised that they called me after reading here that they will only be interested in military / airline experienced guys!!
Received the email last week that they are not interested and don't even keep me on file.
Approaching 6000 TT, 2700 as PIC on the LJ60, not sure what they need, not experience I suppose.
But, the salary in relation to the roster would have been an issue.
Yes, I think that's their problem with experienced guys - You would not put up with pay and roster and would start making problems for them! I don't wanna be too negative about an operation that is not yet up and running, but it does give you some kind of idea of what kind of operation this will be.... I think they will be looking for people with minimum experience who are happy to have a job, any job.
4000 hours TT, 1000 LJ60, ATPL.... These guys are dumm, I already told them to delete my details from there data base
