Riker, you crack me up. You're like a drowning man splashing in different directions in search of a lifejacket. India, middle east, europe, is there any region of the world that you haven't tried to get into or do not claim to be an expert on?
How many companies have you declared would be great to work for? Unless of course it's one of the companies that you have chosen to declare unsafe, bad, dishonest or whatever. Would these be the ones who ignored or rejected your applications by any chance?
In some cases you voice an opinion based upon second hand information "I know someone who has worked there......". Why is it alright for you to dispense advice in this manner yet not acceptable for people who work or have worked for NJE to tell the truth about THAT company?
The answer is obvious of course, Netjets is the current object of your affections and IF you get an interview you can tell the panel how you have always wanted to work for them (best not mention the other companies though, nobody likes being two-timed) and point them in the direction of your fawning posts.
On the other hand you could listen to the people with first hand knowledge and accept that just maybe they know of which they speak and you do not.

Riker,
Sorry you got me wrong. I am sure you are a nice guy and I am not trying to discourage you to join. I am just trying here to give accurate and honest information. So far, what did I say that is wrong?
Netjets has good sides: they pay on time, offer nice airplane like the 7X.
But after a couple years you will see that the 7X is doing mostly long haul (exhausting with the Netjets business and the very little support you get from the office) and it will take you a minimum of 4 to 5years to get on it, very minimum and all that for 40% of the price market bounded for 6years!!
feel free.
I left my seat (not a 7X but...)
biz
No hard feeling I sincerly hope...

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't a number of those seem to have disappeared from this forum? Would it be a coincidence that they began to drift away when the new 'best contract in the industry' was unveiled by your wonderful management? Sometimes in life it is what isn't said that speaks volumes and the pro-NJE'ers who no longer leap to the company's defense are saying a lot by not being here.
Its just so exhausting to correct the disbalanced view which is leaving the wrong picture. This is pushing me into the Devils-Advocate position. But still, every post, which is starting on a informell note gets cluttered and ends up over and over again from the same people writing the same stuff as long as its prevents people from joining.
Boaring! Thats why most posters leave PPRUNE.

understand but if you want to change company, you know why you want to leave but it is also good to know who you want to join...isn't it?
Most of the bad posts here come from people who lost their illusions...I understand it can be frustrating for the ones joining though.
Thank me and Mea culpa.

Smeagel,
Everyone on this forum knows you are a complete dork. Give it up. You couldn't be more negative. I hope you are having a great time bashing others who are genuinely interested in learning more about NJE and other operators.
Last time I checked this was an information forum. And yes, I do know a few people at NJE and I like to get other opinions - hence why I am using this forum. The problem is that you and most other posters are SUPER NEGATIVE about every topic. There are no positives - EVER. Do I want both sides of the story? Of course. Do I want to know the good and the bad from people "in the know"? Absolutely.
Is adding 7Xs to NJE's eventual fleet a good thing for the pilots there? I would think so. That is why I started this thread - I was excited about this news. Evidently, Smeagel, you would rather focus purely on negatives to make yourself feel better. Just understand that few people on this forum hold you in high regard - you are a DORK.
Merry Christmas

Sorry Riker. I just know there's a hidden message in there for me but I can't make it out. Would you be kind enough to make your feelings a little clearer?
I'm sensing anger though, lots of anger. Born out of frustration maybe? You do seem to fly off the handle quickly though, would you say that is a good trait to have in a pilot?

Which is boring, me or the Dutch?
If you mean me well, fair enough. You got me there
If you mean the Dutch we'l have to settle this outside. Some of the best people I've flown with are Dutch. They're all so bloody tall too but I reckon that comes from living in a country that is six feet below sea level, only the tall ones survive. Well, them and short people with snorkels

The british slagging germans... that bores me to death... 
Like the snorkel bit...
Questions:
1) "Bloody germans, can´t take a joke"
2) "Don´t mention the war, I did it once but I think I got away with it"
Which actors, which BBC series?

Calm down HD. Part of having a sense of humour is being able to take a joke as well as tell one. We've got our Prime Minister, warm beer, cuisine, diseased livestock, the worst neighbours in the world (the French) and a dysfunctional Royal Family. How about you?
Oh, hang on. I think half the Royals are yours, aren't they?
If this doesn't get someone biting I don't know what will

I would have to agree with Flintstone on this.
Although, I would go a little further and say the Germans are a really boring bunch and are not much fun to be with for 6 days.
They speak strangely and always get nervous as we cross the Channel.
Achtung!

"Thats the best, easiest and most rewarding entertainment for some countrys.
Bye from -11 feet"
No more Autobahn for you and your campingtrailer !!! Tadds ze ferdiggt!

My goodness. An outbreak of humour on the bizjet forum? Surely not?
Sure. As he's not here I'll go first........... Riker is nothing but a snorkel breathing caravan towing dutchman who probably felches goats in the Banana Bar for tips.
That do you HD? No idea why you'd want this back on topic though. All Netjets threads end up going the same way and it's always my fault
Your go Riker

"n outbreak of humour on the bizjet forum?"
Nonono, I´m bloody german, no humour around.
"They speak strangely and always get nervous as we cross the Channel."
Yeah, especially since almost all LONDON controller seem to be recruited from the highlands these days. And IF I understand what they say I still wait for the little brown cloud that appears with that bangy noise.
And I always look out for ze Spiddfeuer parked around the next cloud waiting for me...

Never mind old chap, I find it most entertaining. Carry on!
