Canadian moving to the U.S. Looking at NetJets

Hello to everyone. I am in the process of making the move to the U.S. I have 3300hrs with most of it on a PC-12. Half of which is PIC time on it. I know things are tough out there these days, but does someone like myself have a chance on working for NetJets?

Or where would a good place to start be? I have really, no connections in the U.S. as far as aviation is concerned.

I say NetJets because that's the place I want to be. Is that realistic?

I wish you luck. Do you have US citizenship? I don't believe Netjets USA hires non-US residents/citizens. From what I read Netjets USA is very competitive with many experienced airlines pilots (many recently furloughed) applying. Never hurts to apply so long as you meet all minimum requirements - just go in with the proper expectations...

Not sure how the poor economy will impact hiring - I wouldn't expect huge hiring. Have you considered Air Sprint in Canada as well?

Good luck.

I will have papers soon to live and work in the U.S. I will also be converting my Canadian ATPL to American as well.
