Vistajet? Latest news, anyone?!
I doubt any 'furloughed' NJE crew are at Vista.
Furloughing is a more American concept and the voluntary options available to NJE crew preclude working for direct competitors unless you have taken a redundancy package at which point you are free to join anyone but then have no links whatsoever to NJE with no risk of recall.

Iver - 4. Yes, the CL850 is a bit of a dog and often you end up stuck in all the weather around FL330-340. No, they are not modified more than other CL850s as far as performance goes.

Another question to add to my original questions:
- What types of pilots do VistaJet typically hire (specific profile)? Do they favor pilots with VIP corporate experience? I assume having time and experience on type is helpful. Do they also hire airline and military pilots or do they tend to hire pilots with specific bizjet experience more?

When you say, "mixed backgrounds", do you mean an assortment of FI's looking to move to something bigger, disgruntled EZY and RYR guys, TP chaps looking for their first jet, etc?
I notice their application form basically doesn't send if you have "0" in the "Jet" column.

Preacher_Av, please find below a link which should put VistaJet's platunum rating beyond doubt.
Working for VistaJet myself, I can assure you this information is correct.

Bases
Could somebody verify the 28 bases you can choose from as mentioned by: 'luggage'. If somebody can tell me where I can find those bases, I would appreciate it!
Thank you!
Thank you!

DutchDutch,
You can safely ignore Preacher_AV and Flyingmechanic, no base for either rumour
There are no "bases" per se, you suggest a gateway and see if it gets accepted. If not, you find a compromise - main factor being a good internatinal network. In your case, you may prefer GRO, but would probably, given the right job offer, settle for AMS

Is anyone able to answer questions 1 and 2 in post #20 regarding initial fleet postings and internal fleet transfers/promotions?
I was curious about that as well.
Also looking at the figures on ppjn, starting salaries seem on the low side, although I note a previous post mentioned an increase after six months.
I was wondering does everyone start on the lowest scale, or does previous experience influence starting salary?
And a related question, again on ppjn, there is a range of per diems, what determines which rate is paid?

Take the opportunity to go try biz Jet and compare yourself. You can most likely Always go back to being a hamster on the boring airline hamster wheel.
Pros and cons in both. Getting up at 4 to do regular charters.. F@ck me, no thanks.. On the other hand flying the airliners is so much easier, but equally less fun, in my opinion.
Good luck

Well, if you are unemployed its a no brainer, take the full time position... Go for CL605 if you can chose as this is probably a better rating than CL850 should you lose your job.

Is there anyone who can give some information regarding the recruitment process? I have heard that it will be some telephone interview at first stage and after that you will have another interview?
As mentioned earlier in this thread, if you are hired on the Lear, what is the chances to move on to another type?
Thanks!
