NetJets Ops
Hi Piripiri,
If you have any sense you will read smeagels other previous posts and see that he is on a crusade to bad mouth NetJets in any possible way, He is no longer with NetJets so you probably guess why he does so...
To get back to your questions: I dont know what ops people are paid in the UK but the basic pay for an Dispatch ops coordinator after tax in Portugal is around 1500 euros. Most of the people who work in ops are Portuguese, if not all, but the oficial language is English. However between themselves they will speak Portuguese and so it is a good idea that you can understand it to at least a basic level.
In the past NetJets used to hire alot of expats but recently the intake has manily local. This is due to that the previous upper management thought that expats were of a higher standard than the local Portuguese - this is of course completly incorrect and has since stopped.
I dont how it works now but NetJets did used help expats in terms of cost of moving - could of changed.
NetJets Ops is VERY hetic. But they, in conjuction with all the other elements involved with NetJets, make the company work.
The roster used to be 4 mornings, 2 days off, 4 afternoons, 2 days off and then 4 nights, 2 days off. They recently made a new sort of roster where you do 2 mornings, 2 afternoons, 2 days off, and then 2nights, 2 day shifts - it sounds messy but creates more coverage - and everybody is very flexiable to swap shifts if required.
BTW - I am reffering here to Dispatch Ops and not any other department....
Hope this helps
