There was a patch last year where there was an unusually high fail rate at about 50%. This did cause quite a few head aches for the various Fleet Managers, Training department and for the candidates.

I believe it's now settled to the 70% pass rate South Coast said.

Dear Redsnail,

As I said before the only thing I do is passingon information that I got from a little bird that is reliable because he or she works there and I have seen the numbers that I used with my own eyes. To make it very simple 140 airplanes/1000 pilots= crew ratio of 3.5. My litlle bird flew 1/3 of the hrs it flew last year so 3 possibilities : overcrewed/too many airplanes are no work enough. Of those 140 airplanes about 40 are F2000 or upwards with about 160 crews on them= crew ratio 4. So the first 400 numbers in the seniority list will have a shot at one of these between now and 2016, which leaves the other 600 numbers ( and still hiring beyond)in the cold on a Bravo/H400/XL/XLS/H750/800/4000. If you join now will you remain on these airplanes for 10+ years. I would say the answer is definitrly yes and for sure rather optimistic than worst case as you say Redsbail.
I bet your number lies within the first 400 or maybe even a lot lower. As I already said, I by no means say Netjets is a bad company. I just wanted people having the intention to go there( like I had) having the same information that I got so that they can make a decision based on what they can expect if they join. The choice lies with the individual...For, as I already said

Have a nice sunday and enjoy whatever you are doing

hello, redsnail
does the 2 strikes option apply to brand new applications as well?
in other terms, how many times can a person attempt to join Netjets, if he/she fails the 2 days assessment process ( pretending to have passed the phone screening) ?
also, how long after the first attempt,can this person retry the selection process to join the Company?
thanks

anyone answering would be appreciated.

Hi fellas, can anyone update me on the latest phone interview questions. Expecting mine any time now and my imagination is running riot as to what they will ask.

Thanks in advance

B-767,
Fair enough, although you've expanded it from the Bravo. If you're used to large Boeings etc, it may be a shock. However, many guys are looking forward to the Hawker 4000 with a FA.

Gabryland,
The "2 strikes" pertains to FOs going for command upgrade. No idea about people trying to join.

Just about to get stuck into the ground school in recurrent...

Hi everybody,

I am also looking for news concerning the selection process. Especially on the "new" procedure that NJ seems to have established. Anybody been there yet? Like D+F I am also waiting for my phone interview

Greetings,

I had my phone interview a couple of weeks after applying, passed and was given an interview date for this summer.

Got an e-mail this week cancelling the interview and saying no more interviews this summer! Bummer.

Anyone "in the know" able to say what has changed? Is it just a case of NJE having filled their current vacancies?

redsnail

NG, it's not personal, a mate got the same email.

I believe it's because we're fully crewed for the time being. It's possible that when the aircraft deliveries start happening (eg the 7X) movement will happen again.

Had my phone interview last week. Thought it went ok, but maybe I have missed the boat for the mean time. Bugger!!!

On standby

I was in Moscow the other day with a Captain who joined in September and then spent 22 days as an FO before getting into the left seat.

It can take upto a year, or even longer, a lot depends on you.

Was he ex-RAF or Luftwaffe by any chance?

I joined in August and am happy to have FLOWN 22 days

Just goes to show you can never please a pilot.

The vast majority of the workforce in the world when asked what their ideal job is would say, a job that pays me to do nothing!

Enjoy it, its the best job ever....paid not to work!

I recently gave up my long-haul job in search of executive type flying. I totally agree with B767. Netjets seems to me the company that best fills my desires and I am currently waiting for a date in Farnborough. I can easily accept the time it takes to the left seat as long as my quality of life is good to very good. I look forward to Netjets. Now, is it true hiring is on hold ?

redsnail

It appears so from what my friends told me (they got the "sorry" email) and what appeared in Crew News.

ADFS

Oh well, guess I can expect the sorry e mail too, but I spoke just last week to C.F. and there was no mention of it.

redsnail

C.F. didn't know until mid to late last week.

CE550B

Ehr.... did I miss something in Crew News. (I know, pilots can't read )

redsnail

It was on email #2, EBACE, careers.

CE550B

Ah, thanks. I'll wait till we get the paper version. Good thing we stopped for a while. Hope to get some hours this year. (So far just 70h!). Guess they will push back some deliveries aswell then?
