Thanks a lot for your link but I know from experience that 99% of the times that informations there are just plain bull****.
If anybody can share it's experience both during the interview or if already operating with VJ it will be much appreciated. Looks like nobody wants to talk about it.

Assessment

and again:

- Technical test about your current type
- Sim ride
- Psychological interview questions

probably like many other interviews, nothing special just standard stuff
Yes, pilotjobsnetwork infos are good

ok... Even though I have sworn secrecy I will share the highly classified information about Vistajet with you.
Please understand that this information is sensitive and very difficult to obtain, please also promise to NEVER do a random search on the very site on which you ask the question.
I agree with you that those with first hand info (which you request) should not be trusted when they answer the questions you ask.
If the answer is not to your liking or if you are a fella not easily convinced by truth and facts I understand and admire your quest for the real truth.

The interview is not really a test, as they have already decided that it is YOU that they want. Instead, you are given a pick and choose scenario, which aircraft would you like to fly and which seat of course.
You are then given a list of destinations, you pick your favorites and thats where you will fly primarily. In case the company decides to send you to a destination not to your liking you may decide not to fly this leg and release the flight in the Vistajet worldwide booking apparatus (VWBA) this can be done from any public payphone.

Blah blah blah blah...

Well may be you think you are funny but you are not.
Again I'd like to find some one with first hand info,and a lesser sense of humor, in order to be as much as able to take an informed decision.

thanks

My friend..I'm not pushy at all.
I'm just asking for some info on the company, the working environment etc etc as anybody would do.
I don't see why it should be such a issue unless you are working for the CIA.
On the other end the fact that nobody jumped on me to dissuade me or whining like hell,looks like a good symptom and, since this is the only clue I can get ,apparently, I should assume the job ain't that bad.
As far as being a gentlemen I think I still give you lessons...mon ami.

Jetaim, moi non plus..

99% plain bs

JTM
Look, you tell everybody who knows and gives you advice and valuable information that they are wrong or telling “99% plain bull****” (your words).

So what do you expect? More help? I don’t think so.

It is quite a strange way to ask for information.

Avoid their COO Scott Plumb if you can help it

He has the commercial acumen of a tomato

a·cu·men

   /əˈkyumən, ˈækyə-/ Show Spelled[uh-kyoo-muhn, ak-yuh-] Show IPA
–noun keen insight; shrewdness: remarkable acumen in business matters.

For all those who need a little help. (I had to look it up for myself also)

But does a tomato have a good or a bad commercial acumen?
