Netjets (Europe) Interviews - All you need to know about it (threads merged)

Piloten,
The hotel for Indoc is the Riviera near the beach. I don't mind it. The shops next door are great
and there's a reasonable selection of restaurants to eat at. (My personal fave is the sushi restaurant).
Only a short walk away you'll find more restaurants to chose from. Don't worry, you'll get a chance to sample most of them
There's a gym but it's 5 Euros a shot so most of us jog down to the beach.
I can't remember what the 'net costs.
You'll be pretty busy with longish days so you won't be spending too much time online. Your laptop will be useful as a lot of stuff is on CD now.
You'll need a suit, shirts and tie(s) for the Indoc course. Take a biggish bag for the books and wonderful winter jacket you'll be issued with.
Jeans and t-shirt/casual shirts are fine for the sessions in the bar.
Enjoy.

Come come you forgot to mention whats in the square and as you know i've had an intimate experience with all of them. There's two Portugues, two Brazilians one dodgey chinese (was closed down by health and safety for a while) and a very expensive fish one.
There's an indoc dinner as well which is formal dress but alot of fun and FREE.
Dont forget to bring your speedo's/bikini's for the wet drills.
Good luck your gonna love the indoc and you'll make some good mates which makes some nights in a faw flung hotel great when you meet up again.

pilot11: Crap hotel for the selection. No wi-fi...
. Of course if you were at Farnborough then I am afraid you will have to get used to the "UK" standard (No matter how much money you pay) , we all have come to enjoy... With some rae but notable exceptions.

GTN,
Yeah, I didn't mention all those places because, as you know, the Indoc is 2 weeks of hard graft in the bar and restaurants. Oooh those capirinhas.
In New York at the mo, bumped into a former colleague.
Found a deli that makes a sanger (sarny) that you'd really like.

As Mike and South coast say, we do get a Blackberry and can be a blessing and a hinderence. Until recently we were blocked from calling numbers direct due to missuse by CC some time ago. This meant you had to call HQ to be put through to FBO's, hotels etc etc.
Last year they were unblocked and now we can call direct. Some people do make personal call but very rarely while others get thier partners to call them. The company is monitoring usage and im sure that providing no one is silly they will turn a blind eye to the odd call.
As with any BB you can surf the net and again its just common sense. Ive seen guys check in online with it on the way to the terminal to save time.
One of its best features is that you can get the WX and Notams of any airport which is useful when you get up in the morning and check your departure, arrival and alternate airports before you've even completed the three S's.
Downside is that when it rings and you see a +351 number it useally means a change or "its like this my friend" (you'll get to know what that means when you join).

To be completely honest,
They did offer me a job after succesful selection at farnborough. Still contemplating if I'm to leave my job as sfo at easy for a base in my home country and all the subsequent cost savings.
Close to 3000 hours so command is not too far away in either company I guess.
If up for it, Indoc will be in May I've been told.
Convince me (and no, just the blackberry won't do it)

Same here....
Was offered INDOC in May, but very close (5 months) to command where I am right now.
Am a bit afraid to leave the Big Jets behind at this stage.
I would love to join NJE for the company culture and the lifestyle on offer. Most probably NJE would give me a left seat within 1 year (if all goes well off course). Just to be able to live at home again would be great!
But for some reason I feel that leaving a left seat on an A320 behind would not be the best option at the moment.
I was told once that one should never leave an upgrade behind....
So how much safer would a pilot be if he first gets his 1500hrs PIC on a B737 or 320?
Is an initial captains experience on an those airplanes worth more than PIC experience on a Hawker800 or citation Bravo?
Sigh.....
While awaiting replies Ill have some more ZANTACs....

You're right south coast !
Now the market is opened for pilots, most of us can choose what type of operation we want to fly for.
NJ is certainly the most exciting job for me because I never know where I fly the day after and I can fly IFR on big airport as VFR on very small airport in the Alpes. NJ operations are challenging and instructive. I really don't want to fly big jets to TOKIO, HKG or LA following the same routes during many hours. I don't like routine.
Therefore, if you hesitate between airline and NJ, you are probably not the good one for NJ. And you will probably be a good one for airlines. In all cases, choose what you like and what makes you happy going at work ! It is my case by the way !...
cheers

To compare nje to your airline jobs is not possibel, too individual the operation and task you are asked for in nje, I flew in the army, executive/ambulance and last 2 years with a loco airline, nje is a combination of all of it. The final question you have to ask your self is - and this is my very personal opinion: how much time you are spending relxed with your loves in relation to the salary you earn, the size of the plane doesnt count. Hope it helps and enjoy, whatever you choose.

Leaving the big jets to fly for NJE ?
Well quite a few have done it or are doing it... As for leaving a command behind it all depends on your lifestyle doesn't it ?
The way I saw it when I left the 73 is that the only type of work you get with a 73 these days, is to work low cost (here, in India or wherever and always). Since it was clear in my mind that I couldn't stand it anymore, sticking on a 73 was not an option.
LHS final line check completed 12 months after joining NJE, did I really miss anything by leaving the big jets behind ? Nope, not in a million years but then again it all depends of what you are after.
Nowadays I have time to enjoy my toys, I live in a sunny place and haven't done so much skiing in years.
I really enjoy the job and nobody bothers me during my days off.
When I sit at the front, the view is the same and when I look behind it looks so much better. Nice leather seats, DVDs, a mini bar etc... Much better than the old prison door I was locked behind.
Really though if you aren't sure about joining NJE, don't join until you are because it is most probably not for you. Make NJE work for you, make it fit your chosen lifestyle (place to live being usually a top priority, 5 nights away per tour, 6 night home in a row) and if it does then NJE might be just for you.

Anyone else going for i/v 31st March 1st April at Le Bourget?
I've looked around at other airline jobs and have decided that I've finally had enough and want to get back to some proper flying and have proper days off. Telephone screening last week and talking to a NJ bod in the baggage claim at LGW has finally convinced me. Enough already.
Could any of our Parisien mates please advise on the best way to get from CDG to Le Bourget, is there a train or metro?
