Any Ppruner capable of using the Search function will be able to see the views I hold/have held on life at NJS. So no dwelling on the list of items headed 'Needs Work'.
But.... If you have 4,500+ TT, and the usual mix of IF, M/E PIC, turbine that comes with it, I'd say it is worth a look.
All the pre-07 guys spent 4-6 years on FO wages waiting for CMD. 07-onwards guys are being considered for command at just on 2 years in company.
Pre 07
(4yr x FO) + (1yr x CMD) = (4x 85,000)+(1x 135,000) =
$475,000 for the five years.
Post 07
(2yr x FO)+(3yr x CMD) = (2x 65,000)+(3x 115,000) =
$475,000 for the five years.
So ahead of the game at 4 years, equal at 5 years, and approaching 6 years.... starting to trail, but you are out of your bond period, so write yourself a resume that says:
- +2000hr turbojet
- +2000hr RPT
- EFIS/glass cockpit or four engines
- +1000hr command on MTOW >54 tonnes (120,000lb) or >40 tonnes.
Not saying it is perfect. Not trying to help the 'recruitment effort.' Yes, there are Brasilia jobs that pay better. Airline ops but not an airline. Not a 'job for life.'
Like everything else, it is what you make of it.
