Kelly, not exactly sure what your question is. We do have many crew members living in France. I'll let them answer the question.
Iver, I know the Bravos, 400s, Hawker 800s and Excels fly into LCY. I haven't seen any NJE Falcons in there. (it may have changed. There is a 900 that operates in there but it's not NJEs) No idea about the 7X yet.

Kelly – unless you want to live in Portugal, you will be working under a “UK” contract, lots more information within this thread. The French tax issues are more complicated & really need a French pilot to answer any specific questions.
Iver – as listed, only NJE small/medium fleets into EGLC, no Falcons.
Falcon 7x will operate from EGLC, direct to USA!

Kelly Smunt which 'requirement' are you refering to with regard to a french resident? I'm not aware that just because you live somewhere that you have to be employed by a company from that country. Only ask cos I fall in this group......

AFAIK if you reside in France but say work out of the UK all you have to do is fill in a French tax form to comply with the law.However if as a resident AND you are working in France ie operate in and out of you have to be on a French contract which costs the employer considerably more in costs than a UK one.EJ had their base in Paris raided and then closed by the local chamber of commerce.To get round this one,EJ now provide hotel accomodation to all their crews on a paris night stop I understand.

**thread drift alert**
easyJet's Orly base for pilots and FAs is still open and running.
eJ's De Gaulle's base is a FA base only, pilots are hotac'd.
Orly was the base raided.
** end of thread drift**
Rest of the NJE contract issues, handing over to our France based colleagues.

I guess you´ll just have to hang on a little bit longer...
Day X+10: First colleagues got their letter.
Day X+14: I got my friendly call from Lisbon (around 5pm LIS time).
And if memory serves me right they got a normal letter, not an email. So, try to relax as much as possible and remember - if you failed, AFAIK you´ll get a second chance (Carmen did not explain to me what you have to do NOT to get a second interview... makes me wonder
).
All the best
EDIT: Just scrolled back a little.. you are talking about your telephone interview, aren´t you? Here´s my story (well, in a nutshell): Waited for three months, talked to Carmen, got the call the next day - line was bad. No second try. Waited another two weeks - and it was all over in ten minutes. Had to wait about one month for the invitation to the interview.
So, be patient.

mmmm yes, I guess they could close my 'base' but the other users of the airport might be upset.
NJTA is not a conventional airline with fixed bases for the aircraft, so comparisons with other companies are not really valid. We start our tour where ever the aircraft is, airlining there to meet it.
As a French resident I am domiciled for tax purposes in France. However, with regard to my NJTA pay, the tax is paid in Portugal since this the operation is controlled from the Lisbon operations centre, the companies 'base' if you will. I then make a normal tax declaration to the French authorities. Since we all pay 20% tax in Portugal the French should not require any further payment since there is a double taxation agreement between the country of domicile and where the operation is controlled from.
This, by the way, is all done in an open and formal way - nothing to do with anyone 'saying' things to the authorities.

Interesting.Now if you were employed in the UK you could claim you were non resident (spend less than 90 days there) and only be taxed on your UK element (approx 1 % of your pay for BA/Virgin longhaul pilot)
Under the dual tax treaty between France and the UK your tax is deemed as being due in the UK and not in France.
Net result 1% income tax and you dont have to live in a dump like Monaco.

Kelly, I have a feeling that every possible permutation for tax minimalisation has been worked out between Portugal, UK and every where in between where we have crews domiciled. I doubt either authority would accept what you say.

'and you don't have to live in a dump like Monaco' - sorry all those billionaires can't all be wrong.
However, unlike many of the BA/Virgin pilots who commute from the same airport I do, I don't have to stand sweating in the line for a standby seat. I also have my airline time included in my maximum duty day and subsequent rest. Not wild about the idea of a long commute and then starting a full days work.
With regard to your comments on tax, the situation is the same for both groups of pilots since they are being taxed in the country from where effective operational control is exercised. The only difference is that the UK tax authorities allow money to be claimed back. The Portuguese do not.

Hi guys and girls,
I realise the answer might be somewhere in the preceding 80 pages but I must have missed it then . Any of you know approximately how long one should wait for a screening call after you submitted your application ?
Thank you,
ST

Otherwise, get piece of string & scissors, close eyes (mind fingers), cut string - how long is it?
Guys have been called one week after sending in their application, or, up to 2 - 3 months later. No real set pattern, although sometimes depends on your background, experience, availability, & perhaps how many CVs on the desk at the time (or how many in the office to do the screening calls).

Bart, if your general experience & TT was the same as your ex-colleague, then worth giving Recruitment a call, 4+ months seems a long time. However, if he had 5000 hours TT & you had 2000 hours at the time of your application, that could be a very valid reason for you not being called so quickly.
I believe that the company will be running Indocs through autumn, probably into December, so still lots of chances.

Hi Alphonse,
Indeed he has more hours since he flew more on transport aircraft, around 5000 like you said (good guess
) while I have a bit under 4000 hours.
That's good news, I hope for the best.

G'day Bart,
Have you got any mates in NJE? Can you get them to ask about your application? Sometimes there's a glitch in the system and your details will be lost. If you don't have any mates, resend your application.
Cheers & good luck.
