For UK based pilots, yes, salary can go into a £ account but per diems (allowances) must be paid into a Euro account. I use Lloyds TSB. Need €2000 to kick it off though.

I’ve gone for the Lloyds International Account. 100 Euro deposit to open and 90 Euro a year to run. If you take a Sterling (international) account with them, I think you get the Euro account included in the price.

I hope I'll have the same question as you in another month or so... I have a netjets interview coming up and am in full prep mode for the moment. I would really appreciate any guidance from people who completed the interview recently.
I have searched the forum so I've seen many of the old posts, but are looking for more current ones!
If anyone feel like sharing their experience, I would be extremely happy!:)

Appreciate it!

re having salary paid in GBP. What/whose fx rate do NJE use ? Having shopped around a bit I can see that simply paying into a euro account and transferring to a GBP account is not the most cost effective way of doing things.

Transferring your euros to a third party who specialize in fx and have them convert it and send it back to your GBP a/c can add £100's to your salary.

Nothing has changed.
I was there in october and the old post are still valid.
Make sure you read a few times the book "ace the technical pilot interview", for the board interview, there is nothing to prepare for.
Same for the sim, make sure you USE the other pilot as much as possible.
Good luck.
