Are they UK reg or Bermuda or ??
Saw someone in the middle east looking for experienced 604 crew but the guy they are flying is difficult to work with. Hired and fired at least 20 pilots in the last 2 years.

Didn't Twinjet previously operate a CL604 for a large shipping company a few years back?
I believe their (TWJ) current fleet is two A319CJ (one for sale & one being outfitted in Hamburg) & two ERJ135 Legacies

A few months later I found out they're self-insured.
As for your belief that being of the same ethnic origin as the rest of the crew (not sure I understand the relevance of that? ever heard of CRM?) and that your Dad knows the owner guarantees you a job in the RHS, I think you might need to have a moment of reality...

If anybody is still interested in the thread, I believe Twinjet would be prepared to pay in the region of £68,000 pa for a 604 Captain. I do not know who owns the aircraft but as is their way, it will probably do a lot of ad hoc charter work at short notice. Seems they are becoming increasingly desperate as they now state their willingness to type rate.
I have heard mixed reports as to what they are like to work for but mostly not positive.
They apparently used to operate a Challenger that belonged to P&O (a shipping company!!)

Making jet time a requirement is a little daft. Airlines such as Virgin do it, but that is simply to provide an additional filter in the recruitment process to cut down on applicants, which doesn't appear to be a problem for Twinjet. It's not as if the CL604 is a heavy aeroplane either. Twinjet's HR people probably just need to a little reality check in the current recruitment market.

Anyone care to comment on Twinjet in London.
They have been looking for 604 guys for permanent/contract employment for a long time now...
Are they adding new a/c all the time or are the continiously loosing pilots?
