After many years of flying around the 'big stuff' (Airbus/Boeing), I feel like a change is in order. Having looked around, Netjets sounds the most interesting, but the website is a little sparse on information. I was wondering if someone who works for them could answer some questions:
1. Are your first and last work days to/from your gateway actually operating days, or just positioning?
2. What's the pattern like down route - multiple sector days, or just go there and hang around for a few days? Or anything in between?
3. Standard of Hotac? Good, bad or ugly?
4. Is the €70 per diem all you have to live on, or are meals etc.. provided?
5. Where does each type operate geographically (approx)? Any particular fleet considered to be the best to be on?
6. Any tax breaks................
7. Licenses/Medicals? JAA I presume (do they have to be issued by the Portugese)?
8. Any wrap around days on your leave?
9. Travel benefits with any carriers (probably not, huh)?
10. Lastly, and probably most importantly (since it'll be a big pay cut), do you enjoy it? Is it a fun company with good people? Is it do'able (it is a word, honest) for the long term?
Any and all info would really be extremely helpful as it's a big decision - always nice to hear directly from the inmates.
Many thanks.
