That's normal in nowadays Vistajet. All has to be shiny, so the new interview is not really a surprise.

Rest assured , Vista from the inside is still the same as it was years ago. To be fair, hotel situation improved significantly. Rest is bad from a pilots point of view - management talks all the time about the great product but do not care about pilot feedback on unsatisfied customers. Operational mistakes happen a lot due to all the new people in the office. Funny as well how new people come out with "brand new" ideas which has been chased already unsuccessfully years ago. How could they know, there is nobody from the old people anymore telling that this is old, cold coffee they are re-heating.

Could go on and on....

To put ist short: Vista is a company that is very shiny - from the outside. If you are a "yes man"(or girl) you climb your career ladder within very fast, bypassing most of the "old" people.
If you got a job, stick with it. Except for our cabin girls which seem to have a good deal moneywise it is a very bad deal for pilots.

Promotions don't happen according seniority(which is an other funny game that management is playing continuously on us), they happen if Mr.V.d.M. likes your or not. Point.
Payrises happen the same way.
Be prepared that they hire new pilots unrated and put them right in front of you on a Global Express. That's how they treat long term employees. Say yes to their offer and the same thing could happen to you in a few years. I simply don't think someone should support companies like this one.

Still different contracts around, some even Offshore and this in a company having is HQ in the european union...

Yes , for a long time they did the interviews in Fuerstenfeldbruck. It was better then what they do now, still very basic. I found the young "psycho" girl very amusing during the different role plays ;-) .
