Correct. Sorry, no change (& not likely to be) = no DEC.

No RYR for me

DEC policy will stays the same as they are able to get guys with an average of 4000+ hours onboard. Even if you have a TR on the type you will fly you will have to redo the TR again.

hi, could anybody tell what the chances of getting on the gulfstream would be? And if you not get it on the initial start, how long to bid on it?

Many thanks indeed.

Alphonse

Quite small - just a very few start from Indoc, I believe 2 for the G550 from the March courses for example. In the past, they allocated some lower hours guys as a way to build up their TT quicker than in other fleets.Well, the new "career progression system" is waiting to go on-line (I believe held up slightly due to server security checking). All pilots will get a career number - if you start on the same Indoc, then age will go before beauty!

When the system is operational, if you are originally allocated to a non-APU fleet, then there will be a block hour total or calendar period to complete (whichever comes sooner), before you can bid for a new fleet. This block hour/time period will be greater for those on APU-equipped medium fleet, & increased again for large fleets.

There are other variables - for example, you could be allocated a new fleet on upgrade without having bid for it - but the basics are as described.

1013,
No idea sorry.

1013,

if you are lowtime (1500 - 2000 TT) chances are high to join on the gulf as F/O, otherwise about 2-4 years waiting, depending if you start on small (2-3 years) or medium size (3-4 years).

Hi guys,
Applied about a month ago and got the auto reply email. Still haven't got a phonecall from NJE. I am only just above the 1500 hrs , but other than that I think I fit their profile quite well.
I am going slightly crazy waiting though, anyone any ideas as to when I ring them to ask wether I've been dumped and apply again??
Thanks

Thomas

Hi gents,

@everybody waiting for a call:

keep cool, I know several people that got their call after waiting for up to 6 weeks. They all have interview invitations now...

I guess the NJE recruitment department can't work more than 120%, so they'll get around to you, it might just take a little while

so keep your heads up and your ears stiff

Starting out as a Gulfstream FO would be great in my opinion. Nice airplane, wide variety of destinations worldwide, flight attendant to support the passengers - what else could you want? Doing this for 3-4 years wouldn't be bad at all.

I guess upgrading to the Bravo when you have the required time might be a shock after life on the G-Stream though...

Pax on the run

Wow! Thrilled!! I have landed myself an interview date, very happy yes!

Another step closer to NJ!!

cheers, Olli

long final

Hello all,

Could you tell me if the phone interviewer will tell you if you have passed or not at the end of the call?

Many thanks.

What is NJE's policy on smoking in the cabin/flight deck?

CMN

There is a uniform policy in the manual. No smoking

But several colleagues have had a cigarette or two on an empty leg...

Potential

...and does the no smoking policy extend to the owners?

redsnail

No, the owners can smoke. Not many do.

Potential

So the crew can't smoke but some do and the owners can but only some do.

Hopefully I'll not fly with these somes too often.

Not sure about other fleet but on the XL and in my own experience, very, very few owners smoke. I don't run statistics on it but if I get one every 2 0r 3 months, it s about right.
As for Crews smoking on the flight deck ??? Well, I ve never come across one as an FO and as a Captain, not even an option.

lifter91

Hi gents,

@ longfinal: nope, they don't, gotta wait. but you'll have a "feeling".

@all: we used to smoke a whole pack of cigarettes going across the pond in a C-160. (Crew of 5).

But even in such an old cargo ship it's not allowed anymore. But I stopped 4 years ago, so I don't care...

Cheers, Olli

Hello everyone,

As a SFO on the Airbus I am thinking about applying to NetJets. Can anyone enlighten me on the application process?

Many thanks
