I assume that by your use of the word 'fall' then you are American (or maybe Canadian) ... in which case, I don't know about NJA. But NetJets Europe are running a cadet programme for 24 ab-initio's this year and 48 every year after that.

Hi

You have missed the boat this time around but it is an ongoing process so they may reopen it again in the next couple of months.

You can read all about it here: http://www.oxfordaviation.net/netjets/nj_main.htm

Kind regards

Is there anyone with current information about the questions they were asked, and what plane and profiles you were given? I'm going to Farnborough on June 21st for the interview and ride.
I have read the other threads and the topics go off topic, so please try to stick to this threads title.

Thanks to anyone who replies in advance!

Farnborough you say?

Could be the B1900 for the sim ride.
They aren't looking for the perfect ride, just good CRM, good basic IR skills, (don't bust your altitudes or minimas) and common sense. Ie talk to the "pax" to let them know what's going on etc. You'll get the profiles on the day. (Well, we did 2 1/2 years ago)

The interview. Brush up on Perf A/ATPL Performance stuff. Wx stuff. Expect questions on the aircraft you're flying now. Stuff you should know. It'll be a friendly chat about customer service, why you want to join such a company like Netjets. (Note, it ain't the airlines!!) Definitely research the company, there's a lot online on their websites. Both US and EU.

Be yourself. Netjets is looking for a person who doesn't panic or stress easily, can handle change and has a good sense of humour. Believe me, you'll need it. :ok:

I flew the CJ2 and the profile was Northolt Birmingham with diversion to Luton.
My advice is make a comprehensive briefing before the simulator and then during the assessment fly the aircraft first.
The other aspects are to be done with your remaining ressources.
For me it was close to 0 because I can assure you, the simulator is very difficult to fly.

FYI - the NJE scheme is due to reopen soon.

NetJets/OAT scheme is reopening on Monday.

[Stanziel]

I am not going to try out for the Netjets scheme as I wouln't be able to get a loan and it works out a lot more expensive than the modular route. Nevertheless, Netjets is my dream company.

So, the prediction now, as I understand it, is that after 200-250 hours you can be lucky and get an airline/commercial job :ok: (correct me if I am wrong, := please). But when I reach the 1500 hours and I apply for Netjets or a large desirable airline, what would be more favourable; having worked as an instructor or gone straight into airline/commercial, or does it make any difference at all?:cool:

Cheers,
Stanzie

The instructor route won't really help you unless you combine it with some multi engine charter work or even better, turbine multicrew work. Ideally, if you can get some corporate jet work with your instructing then that should look ok.

Airline work is favoured as the training is structured, SOPS are utilised and you're in a multipilot environment. Short haul multi sector is "better" than long haul in that you're get more handling time.

[YYZ_Instructor]

how about questions you were asked while at the interview?

[suger]

what happens at satage two,after your application has been accepted? just wondered if you have any advice? ;)

[Potential]

The NetJets stage 2 is almost the same as the normal stage 2 that is used for self-sponsored students. The only differences are that there is no sim check for the NetJets candidates and your interview will probably include some NetJets related questions. You also have to score higher than usual on the compass tests to get through to the 2nd day of stage 2. There is more about the assessment process at http://ask.oxfordaviation.net/ if you spend some time looking through the threads.

[hollingworthp]

With regards to the OAT forum - since they upgraded the forum software the vast majority of the NetJets related posts have been lost. But I would echo Potential's advice in that the assessment process is near identical to the standard process so a search should still yield useful posts.
