Off to the newsagent for me....

I can remember reading those industry related ad's here until somebody got all huffy about them.

I don't recall ever seeing a partly believable explanation as to why either.

Oh well, do as I say, not as I do.

still suspicious:suspect: :suspect:

Airservices Australia requires human factors specialist with flight crew qualifications and/or Aviation degree with significant Human Factors major

and what will this job involve? :suspect:

[Chris Higgins]

As someone who flies for Netjets here Stateside, I recommend Netjets very highly!

They hired me in straight as a captain four years back. I had 1300 hours PIC in Hawkers, so the Hawker is where I went...but don't let that worry you. We had some ex-airline furloughees that stumbled on to the same good fortune. They swear they'll never leave!

Brand new equipment, factory maintenance, high calibre sim training and no bonding, or pay-for training!

Free uniforms, healthcare, match on retirement, free eye-care and a decent wage from day one. They even pay for everything including van tips, on the road.

We keep our airline and hotel points too.

Man, I love this job!!:ok:

[Chris Higgins]

To all of you who have been contacting me regarding jobs.

We need another 300 pilots at Netjets North America, just for 2005 alone. Right now we have over 3,000 pilots and 532 aircraft in worldwide operation.

I would encourage ANYONE who wants a job at Netjets to apply!!

:ok:

[Boney]

According to CASA - 14,000 pilot's here in Australia currently not employed as pilot's and we are getting a horn because there are a dozen jobs advertised instead of the usual 3 or 4?

Yep - Australian Flying needs to NOW do a big article on the great "Pilot Shortage".

Can someone please tell these knobs - 3 pilot's for every 1 job is not a shortage, unless you can't add up!

[redsnail]

G'day Chris,
I can vouch that NetJets Europe are actively recruiting too. We need ~100-150 pilots this year and maybe another 100 or so next year.
T&Cs are pretty good.
Paid from your first start date.
Type rating paid for.
Good remuneration and per diems.
Uniform, medical, pension all included.
Excellent command prospects.
Very interesting flying, no day is the same.
6 days on, 3-5 days off. 18 days a month.
Live where you want (in Europe) so long as you're near an international airport. (~1 hour)
Average fleet age is 18 months old.
60 aircraft at the moment. (getting more)
Min experience required (JAA ATPL)
1500 hours, 500 multi crew, turbine exp is higly desirable.
If I convert my pay to $A, I will earn ~$A100,000 including the per diems as an FO.

[Chris Higgins]

Yeah, we have it pretty similar. We only work seventeen days a month though.

I forgot, we get free dental and we only stay in four star or better hotels. When we finish a tour at a secondary airport, they limousine us to the main airport to airline home.

[Ron & Edna Johns]

Chris and Redsnail,

Could you guys just comment on the nationality/citizenship/residency/right-to-work aspects of working for Netjets, please? Do we non-American, non-EU convicts have a chance at present? Obviously supply and demand play a big role - if there's a shortage and Netjets wants you, they would sponsor the necessary visas. So I'm interested in what the current situation is.

Thanks fellas.

[redsnail]

G'day Chris,
Oooh a limo, haven't seen that (yet) but there's plenty of airports here :D yep, the 4 and 5* hotels are nice. :D

Regarding Netjets Europe, from what I can tell you need some sort of citizenship/visa to live and work in Europe(not specifically the UK) as well as a JAA ATPL before you can be considered.
As far as I can tell, they won't be looking at sponsoring visas for Europe. However, feel free to drop them a line if you have anything specific to offer them. Check the website for types operated and so on. Good luck. :D
As for the Middle East, that is a different kettle of fish and the T&Cs are different.

[compressor stall]

Horatio my old sparring partner...

hate to break it to you, but small specks of grit that find their way into oysters' innards are not gems.....

Yours as always,

Stallie.

[Horatio Leafblower]

Stallie you old Queen,

I will always bow to your superior experience and knowledge of costume jewellery :ok:

Too cold for your sequin outfit down there I'll bet...:E

[compressor stall]

Trying to avoid references to Old these days - a disturbing number of greys sprouting from above the ears.

Not too cold at the moment, a sequin outfit might just be the shot here in Chamonix....on the girls. :ok:
