Can somebody please be kind enough to tell me what the minimums for Execujet, Netjets, Flexjet..etc...etc...are. I'm looking to see if any of these operators in Europe accept FAA licences. I have an FAA Licence, with about 800hrs and am looking to see if these guys accept people with a type rating, but minimal time on type (bear naked type rating in other words).

All help will be appreciated.

Donīt know the hour minimums but all mentioned operators are requiring JAA licence. You best bet for the future is to do JAA licence. There are several US or Cayman/Bermudan registrated bizjets based in UK and Europe and your FAA licence could be validated for those but sooner or later you will need a JAA licence. So why not bite the bullet now.

Can tell you that the Flexjet scheme here in Europe is not like that of the US. The scheme here is flown by operators of Bombardier aircraft only. So no pilots are contracted by Flexjet Europe at all.
