Financial part of the contract will be officialize on oct the 15th so regarding salary, taxes pension and so forth I don’t have a clear answer now
Our fleet is composed by Nextant 400 (new version of the Hawker 400), Legacy 500/600 and Learjet 75. Roster are 7 on 5 off
Will give you more information next Tuesday!
During the phone interview they were talking about placing me on either the Legacy or Lear 75. Then during the face to face interview it was suggested that may not happen and would I go on the Nextant for minimum 2 years before changing type.

I politely declined and I think thats when my cards were marked, hence my application was not taken any further.

It makes sense that if they have 7 or 8 of these Nextants with approx. 40 pilots crewing them that those crew get first option to upgrade but why not be honest with people applying for a job in the belief they are going to join the Legacy or Lear 75 fleet to be told at interview you first have to fly the Nextant and be trapped for 2 years.
