When I was passing through a couple of ports recently I couldn't help but notice the (USA) Netjets boys and girls being what appeared to be the most miserable bunch of bored people I've so far seen! Observers comment...

Hello
Hello European mates.
Just applied to Netjets a couple of days ago, and I just saw the stop hiring-interviews for the summer. I have around 1750TT with 350 or so on the Embraer 145. We are getting furlough in september. I have FAA and JAA Frozen ATPL, but my JAA has been expired for 3 or 4 years, all the time I have been away really. Do you guys think this would be a problem. Just wondering if i should go this month or next while I can still fly for free to Europe with travel benefits, and renew my licence. Or If Netjets would not care, assuming I can renew it quickly.
Salutes from the west coast.
Cheers

This is the NetJets Europe topic isnt it, so what has the hiring in the US to do with this? 
Re-base. There are no bases there are gateways and you choose where you want to live. On the start of your tour you show up at your gateway, airline to the a/c and 6 days latter your airline back. The beauty being you can change gateways as you go along so to Nice in the summer and Zurich in the winter etc

@Piripi, before the rest starts chewing up your....., let me say that most of this info can be found in this thread.
But to get you on your way: you DO need a valid JAA (f)ATPL to apply (Look here: Careers). This will also answer your Q regarding our gateway system (we call 'm gateways, not bases).
But........hiring has stopt for now.

I know someone who was interviewed recently. They were told that earliest courses would be later this year or early next.
In reply to the above comment about netjets pilots being miserable, well I had dinner with two of their pilots recently, friends of the same friend, and they didn't have a bad word to say. It seemed like a very well thought through system from blackberry the night before to flight the next morning.
Sounds good to me...when I have the hours, which'll be a while yet!

Hi all, I have been monitoring this thread for the past year on a regular basis while converting my FAA Licenses to JAA. So, I just finished up all 14 ATPL exams
and start the IR next week
and should be ready to apply within a month or so, which leads to my questions. Should I apply now? And, does anybody have any idea of Netjets "firm orders" for aircraft in the next couple of years as this might help gage the hiring for next year?

You guys are aggresive. No worries.
I do have JAA, Just need to renew it. From now on I will call them gateways to be in tone with forum. I have read most of the 80some pages. I just wanted to know if it needs to be current JAA, or if expired is good enough for interview, on condition of renewing right after.
Thank you

Depends on your fleet. (Hawker 800XPC)
For me, I am (was) doing ~400 hours a year. (Been in the Office a bit recently). However, we realistically only available to fly ~165 days a year after leave, recurrent and GRT is taken out.

JB007, come along & play - you get a free sword & mask (in-company joke!! 
)
Flight hours vary slightly from fleet to fleet - don΄t forget that duty hours will be higher - say 2 hour flight with pax, wait around 4 hours, fly same pax back to original airport. That is a 10 hour duty day.

1) when do you get to know the destinations you are flying to? does the company tell you the day/night before the actual departure?
2) what is the take home salary for a first officer? is 4500/month take home a realistic amount? what about captains?
3) when you do long haul flight, how long do you stay at the hotel? do you have enough time to enjoy the city?
thank you for your answers.

1) Normally evening before via Blackberry - but plan may (= will) change sometimes - such as airline Day 1, get off commercial aircraft 4 hours later, new briefing arrives.
2) Your country + tax situation? FO basic salary = 56.500 = 4708 monthly, no deductions. Guess at 30% to take away (25% + 5% social security payments) = 3295. Add per diems (tax-free maybe?) guess at 15 days each month = 15 x 70 = 1050. So, about 3295 + 1050 = 4345. Captain basic salary = 95.000. Play with the numbers.
3) Impossible to say - is it airport hotel or in city? Time from airport to hotel? Minimum rest or waiting for same pax on return flight 2 days later? Best answer is "yes, sometimes you can be a tourist."
