The general view and once again, anecdotally, the average age of successful candidates is ~27 years old.
How do I stand then, 43 years old, 2100 hrs on 737EFIS (2400 hrs TT) and 18 years as a bobby, relevant life experience or too old for the role?

I believe from some earlier postings they have stopped accepting on-line applications.

Maybe its a conspiracy though?

8028410q,

I think Jimmy was considering a cadetship. You've got too many hours for that.
I'll amend my previous post to highlight the cadetship point of view.

Your age is not a problem for direct entry. good luck.

Out of interest, when do the first Hawker 750 and 4000 and Falcon 7x arrive? Is the 750, 800 and 4000 a common TR or just the 750 and 800?

The 750 should be here within the next 2~3 month, and this should be the same rating (not my fleet, 800 drivers please correct). The 4000 is a completly different beast, therefor this is a different TR. Expecting 1 or 2 by the end of this year.

I know the captains have to work themselves up from short to long haul but what about the co pilots. With all these new a/c types coming on like 750/4000/ 7x, do co pilots from the Bravo, excel 400 move on to these types or are they just left to the new guys joining the company.

750 and the 800XPC is the same rating. It's essentially is the same aircraft.
CE550B is correct, the 4000 is a new rating.

From what I have heard, there'll be no FOs on the 7X for a little while. Captains need to get experience and time on type.
An example of this is the new policy for the G5 is for new captains (who may not have a lot of international experience) to do 6 months or so in the RHS gaining experience before moving across. (Command pay in the RHS)

No idea how the 4000 will be crewed initially. It's not here yet. I dare say there'll be a little bit of captains only as they get experience on type. So for this year, new FOs can probably forget the 4000 and the 7X. (**this is my guess only**)

Those in the know might post or then again, I think they're a bit busy trying to get manuals written.

I know that the type of flying that NetJets is involved in is very flexible, but are flying rosters issued in advance when possible, or is it just a case that you know you are on for 6 days off for 5 and you find out where you are going on the day?

Hi,

I THINK(!), that the latter is right. You just know that you're gone for six days, the rest comes via blackberry...
Can any active NJ Pilot confirm that pls?

But after all, that's what makes it interesting!

Cheers, Olli

All correct gents,
you know you're away from home for 6 days. In those days your life is scheduled by the company.
Night before the following day you get the new briefing on the BB.

The briefing might change during the day, but you will be notified on the freaking BB.
So you r never 100% sure where you stay the following night. But thats all the fun isn't it!

Okay have to go now, I'm flying from Istanbul to Birmingham in a few hours....I think.

Just recieved an email fron NJ saying i have passed stage 1 and they are inviting me down for stage 2.

i have been advised that because of my age (18) i should not bother as im going to be considered too young.

is this a sign that i have a chance or is it just the oppertunity for them to make some money out of the stage 2 assessment

was just wondering whether it would be worth my time/money since im still in my 1st year or uni!

cheers for any respones guys

Well, yes you have a chance. No one has said that it is impossible for you. There's just been advice on what has happened to other candidates.

Would you look upon us kindly if we said "sure, crack on, have a go" knowing full well that a failure at Stage 2 = no more chances at NJE cadet scheme?

To compare, I bought a ticket in the Euro millions. Sure, I have a chance, but look at the odds. However, my Aunty did win the lottery 30 years ago. So, you spend some time reading every thing and have a look on the Oxford forums as well.

PaxOTR,
No, NJ HR don't work on the weekends. However, you're wise to resubmit your application. Occassionally they do get lost in the system.

Psst, lifter,
Whatever you do, don't do a line check with natops weird things happen. However, he does buy his rounds post flight.
