Agree with Flinstone, I dont want to be rude but nothing comes on a silver tray you know...there are so many info you can find on PPRuNe, also google something...there are so many VIP companies that you cant even name them all... If you have more specific questions about something or some company maybe we can help each other but... I saw one thread where everybody posted their years of experience and AC types and gender and other stuff waiting for a job to knock on their doors, maybe try that, never know-might get lucky
Thanks for your replies I perhaps worded my post a little incorrectly, giving the impression that I was expecting someone to come up with a miracle.
I have searched PPRuNe for years (without registering) and have always found the information I have searched for.
I have searched online for private jet companies including: Jet Republic (I'm too tall), Global Jet, NetJets, Amiri/Presidential, NAS, Ocean Sky and many more, I have done some research.
It would have perhaps been better to ask:
Does anyone know which VIP/Corporate companies recruit male FAs and are based in the UK or allow commuting?
Apologies if I have caused offence to anyone who thought I'd strolled up hoping for the answer to my prayers, I'm not naive enough to think that life works that way.
Yap, well as we all here are looking for something and for some help and tips and so on and so on.
And you are also a male...damn...I mean- its already hard to get in the private flying but for a male probably its almost like hitting to a wall all the time. Have no clue about UK and their private sector, dont think their market is that big... I was doing my regular web sniffing when I saw one add where they were looking for VVIP CC in ME(think it was Abu-Dhabi but might be wrong) and what surprised me was that they were looking only male CC. Didnt posted it here cos add was already expired few weeks ago, cant also remember where I saw it, but if I will find it again I will PM to you-they might update it with new vacancies
About NJ I have 2 friends working with them, they planned to make opening for CC during 2009 but cos of this all crisis nithing will happen, and also thats the place where you need a smile and friends, as I have been informed they hire almost only by recommendations, and even if you will get some friends in there they wont hire new CC at least this year- those friends of mine- one was laid off already and one is still in there but hes also not sure how long he will stay...
The answer to your question "Who's recruiting?", to be brutally honest, is just about nobody at the moment. As with all sections of our industry most companies are pulling their horns in which has left many experienced CC seeking work. No surprises for guessing who will be best placed when the upturn comes, them or an outsider.
That might sound a little excluding but bizjets really is quite a small world within aviation. With the exception of one or two of the larger companies almost every job is filled by word of mouth and personal recommendation so your best way in is to start meeting people. Given the way things are at the moment I'd suggest sticking with your current job and using your free time to visit the right places.

Have no clue is right. While it's obviously not as big as the US it's certainly healthier than most of Europe and pays better.

I am new at pprunes and I was wondering if somebody could help me. I am trying to send my CV to NAS?NJME, but is so hard?? Anyone knows how the best way to apply?? Please Help!
Cheers!
I think you are absolutely right! I will try to make some new freinds. Can I start with you??
Hi,
How can i send my CV to NAS??? Thank you for your help...
Hi, I had an interview for NAS last month but I turned it down. I went through Sigmar Aviation. Give them a call, I think they are having interviews this week in Dubai.
Just a quickie my friend worked for NAS and thoroughly enjoyed it she was an Aussie and did about 2 years for them, so i dont know how good or bad it was but if I chat to her maybe I could provide you with more info if you require??
yes. please
I'm ok with living in Middle East , I did that before...
but i would like to know more about the company...
I heard it's VIP (what kind of VIP?) operation on jets
so how many ppl on one flight? how many crew (heard one)?
and do they do any layovers? how is the monthly schedule?
I mean any info would be appreciate
if you dont wish to post it here, please PM me.
Thanks
hahaha I also got a mail this morning- I wonder do they even consider to whom they are sending the invitation- going to Dubai from EU on my own expenses is quite well....not even talking about hotels and VISA. Think its more for people already living in ME. And its 19th today, as I know they had interview yesterday as for Dubai, why did I got a mail today
yeah..heard nas recruiting for the private sector. Package not good tho..and they hardly fly so average 40hrs if that, and with 3 month on 1 off in Saudi some may find that hard. Basic is 7000 and they give you a 2000 ryl allowance for 50 hrs as you would never do more than that. That info is from a captain plus you could do a whole month with only 4 night stops. Hope that helps. Great if you want to get on the ladder..good luck.

Reason: more info
thanks for infos on NAS
i think i would give it a try...
but they need to let me know earlier, cos i dont own a flying carpet to get there on time
plus Klea is right what with visa and hotel....
hmmmm....
Sorry for delay, I don't have any other info on NAS, just what Sigmar gave me, think you received it too. I didn't go for the interview, I was going to Dubai a week later for a holiday and they weren't prepared to pay for my ticket. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
I'm waiting for mine...
I had with agency, now should have with Florence...
then they said face to face interview in UK or QR, of course if I pass phone interview first...
did u pass yours?
Hi again, not spoken to anyone apart from the agency I went through who said I will receive a call from Florence this week. If successful interviews will probably take place in the UK. I'll let you know how it goes.
Ani is spelled as 'Any'
Amiry is spelled as 'Amiri'
Amiri Flight is "Royal flight" in the Middle East, and usually owned by Royal Families, and there's Amiri Flight in Qatar in UAE and other rich arab countries. So be specific, and learn how to search here in prune, as there's huge probability that this has already been discussed previously.
good luck to your interview
