"thank you for your email but I am sorry, without long range I can not accept your CV."
Is there a such thing as a long range certificate?
Oh well never mind, the pay is not that good anyway.

Before JAA licences were introduced in Germany there was a separate Long Range rating and that rating was necessary to convert your German licence into a JAA one. Assuming that you already hold a JAA licence, they should not even ask for it.

@DAN1165: Yes, you have to pay the flight and HOTAC during type rating. It is one of the great disadvantage of VIstajet. 
This affects the ground course/SIM only, not supervision training...
You will get Salary and daily allowances from the first day of ground school on.
@INNER: they are talking about 650 - 900 hours a year. There are some guys who will have to stop flying in the middle of November because they have already 900 hours. But flying hours depending on aircraft type.

OK 650 and 900h a year is a lot. But of course that's what they are saying. If they bring in the 14ON/14OFF schedule this means you need to fly lets say at least 60h in 14 days. I'm not sure if this is possible when you take the resting time into account.
Seems to me that a lot of things are not sure yet. So be carefull.

I know for sure, that each 604/605 makes 1200-1300 h /year. That is quite a lot. Like most of the other compeditors Vistajet tries to improve. Since they grow very, very fast, things went wrong, but they are able to learn from their mistakes. One thing is, that they will introduce recruiting assessment to see, if someone is generally able to fly high performance aircrafts like the LJ.
The FO Mgr Mr. Ambs is an experienced ex-Lufthansa Cpt. I personally think, that they are on the right track. They offer recurrent training and sim checkrides every year. I know, that this should be normal, but I am long enough in business aviation to know the truth.
@discoveryman: allowance/per diems depends on the country where you are flying to. It is around 30-55 Euros /day. And, when you are flying, food will be serverd by a nice woman

Somebody should really educate the HR department on JAR FCL requirements... "Long Range" my ass.... I'll be giving this shower a wide berth.

My application was turned down as well as I didn't have a "long range" certificate.
My answer was ... "but I have been flying a turboprop!!"
It didn't matter ...... the old cow at the other end of my email wasn't interested!
Mooooooooo

Sorry to repeat an important question:
Anybody can orders a load of aircraft but who is bankrolling it? 
More important question, who is the owner of Vistajet and how deep are his pockets? Any ideas?

It would save a lot of people the work of sending an application if they entered RVSM and MNPS as a requirement on their reqruitment page. As of now it says 500tt and 200 IFR.
Oh and possibly educated the lady that filters the aplications. As i would think very few applicants have this long range how do you get past her?
