NJE sim assesment and Interview
Hi unimuts,
If i could be of some help, the sim and interview is mostly held at CAE in Amsterdam. You will do psychometric tests, followed by group assement and individual interviews with HR and training dept.
The sim in Amsterdam will be the DO328 jet, mostly raw data, engine failure and SE ILS to land. Fairly straight forward except the DO328 sim is a real hand full the first time. They will mainly be looking at your CRM, basic handling and decision making.
If the session is held at Flight Safety, Le Bourget, the sim will be on a Citation V, which is an easier animal to handle.
Good Luck

4HP and Unimuts
No-one flies into an airfield by accident (hopefully!), you take a look at it on the Jepps or aerads beforehand. IMO should be the same for a sim ride, whether it's an interview or an LPC, should be a comprehensive brief available a few days prior to box time.
Unimuts, hope it went well

silverhawk,
For the Netjets sim ride you're not given any thing untill the day of your ride. The guys tell you what you'll be doing and off you go. If your hand flying and IR skills are fine then the flying isn't too difficult.
From what I can gather, they want to see if your CRM, interpersonal skills are good and you have some trainability. Also they want to see common sense applied too and you keep every one in the loop as to what's going on.
Personally, I found it one of the most relaxed sim checks I have ever done. Dare I say I even enjoyed it.

I was in AMS, did two hours of sim, 1 hr PF one PNF, SID, ILS, SE G/A, ILS Landing and some basic flying (speed, holding etc) All raw date, And the interview was fairly basic talk about my history
but search in PPRUNE under netjets, there should be about 20.000 subjects with lots of info about the grading.
good luck on the Sim

sixfeetabove,
Great job on getting the interview! Can you tell us about your experience so that we can guage whether we might be called anytime soon? I have heard great things about Netjets but you will read a lot of negatives on this forum (probably from pilots that couldn't pass the interview...). Good luck!

I would have a look about before commiting to Netjets, the T & C can change and I would be very careful what they say at interview.
There are jobs elsewhere offering more money, more reliable airplanes, more holiday, private travel benefits, better career progression (e.g. a useful type rating rather than the Hawker 400) and more honest management.

@Riker!
Yeah, I am very happy they called me! I have exactly 1510 hours TT, 1125 hours on jets (C550 / Falcon 50) and a Falcon 50 / 900 TR. I applied two weeks ago! That was really fast!
All the Netjets-Drivers I meet on the airports are happy. And they definitly encouraged me to apply!
@netjets
Where???

Dutchie and anyone else going to a Netjets interview.
Netjets is right. No matter what they tell you or put into your contract they will change it if they want. They have done it and will do it again.
It does not matter if it is in writting, it will changeif some one decide that they want you to work more than you agreed.
Netjets pilots in the US are discussing a strike. In europe this will not happen because the pilots are never all together and the company know this.

Still no answer to the question. What is this great company that has better pay, better holidays, better schedule, etc then NetJets? Oh and throw in job security and big change to move to the left seat within your lifetime as well . 
There is too much nonsense on the board and by giving an answer rather than BS it helps people decide.
The only people who seem to be unhappy are the ones on Pprune. The ones I spoke to seem to be happy. so should I believe people who work there or the ones that pretend??

Dutchie. If you ask someone to tell you what they think of Netjets they will give you a ready reply but will it be the truth?
If you worked for Netjets you would now what happens to people that say what they think.
Fact 1. Netjets cut salarys and made pilots sign new contract. Those who did not want to sign were told they do not get a new contract at the end of the old one.
Fact 2. Contracts all said that crew work 6 days and get 5 days off. This was explained at interview and this was explained on indoc in Lisbon. Netjets decided that crew should at least work 18 days a month. 6 and 5 and 18 does not go into one month. Crew were sent ammendements to the contract. No discusion, no question, just sign or else.
Fact 3. Vacation policy has been changed. No discusion, no question, no matter what you contract say. Crew must work 18 days a month. If they take 5 days vacation they can still be made to work 17 days so really only get one day vacation!
Tell me this is BS? Tell me this is good managment.
If you get the job in Netjets you want I would like to here you one year later after what you agreed to is no longer there..

All the original old faces I knew who went to Netjets in the early days when they were desperate for captains seem to have left now and they have been replaced by lower paid smiling androids, Maybe.

Sorry, as far as I know there is still no answer:
Give me the name of the operator that has better conditions
All people that I have spoken to about Netjets who WORK THERE are very positive. The only ones that are negative are the ones that seem to be working somewhere else and feel threatend in their job as NetJets seems to do extremely well
So give me an answer not BS!

Well Netjets and me work there so seems not all are happy.
And I would say 30% of pilots on my fleet are looking for other jobs.
See Dutchie? You do not know everything.

Happy or not... I think in every Airline there are pilots who are happy and others who are not. It has always been like that !!
In the company where I currently fly it's the same.
