My f/o CV was refused , but my colleague which applied to Flexjet Europe with me as cpt he went for interview in Birmingham and he just got a call for go to Farnborough....SIM on 560xls for final pilot skills test.
I guess there is no SIM in Europe for Nextant 400XTi ?
Looks like commander salary is around 75/80K + per diem
Lucky him.

I had a telephone interview with them and was told they are reviewing their salary package for both FO and captain. I was not given exact figures but was led to believe that an FO will at the very easy make 60 - 70K in Euros in their first year and possibly even higher, captains will be over 100K their first year.
As for the interview, quite straight forward talking about yourself, your understanding of corporate aviation and FlexJet. Understanding corporate aviation as opposed to airline flying is very important to them , cant emphasise that enough.
TMAAT Questions (Tell me about a time) and your career goals and whats important to you. Pretty straight forward really.
As for future plans they are definitely expanding with some pretty big goals in mind along with an increase in fleet size and aircraft size.

They have the so called "red label" program, basically a career path, where a pilot will be chosen to lead a specific airplane and that one only, and a team of 4 more captains. The choice will be done based on merits and is a big recognition as they will fly with the most important customers and have some special benefits like doing their own roster. According to the company's preferences, seems like all the aircraft which are taking part of the red label program will belong to the Gulfstream family.

Which aircraft takes YEARS to master in your humble opinion? A blackbird? Even that one did not take that long....
So or so. It sounds interesting. But I am SO done with that GA BS that for sure I do not fall for that one anymore. "Red label" crap is just another way to catch another wave of blind believers. Happy with my 5/4 airline roster and do not want to hear any of this GA lies anymore....

The Military used to run OCU courses for transports taking 6 months or more. Yes you needed to know how to build the thing.
Sanity prevailed when the 747 arrived on the seen. The consensus among the experts was ground school max time was 10 days. Beyond that time the learning curve dropped off markedly. It was on a need to know thinking. The sim was really getting the exercises ticked off when proficient. K.I.S!.

How long does it take to train a Boeing(737/757/767/787/747) pilot to train on antique aircraft(except the 787 maybe, do not know that one, but the 737/NG/MAX most certainly belong to that class)? Or Airbus, Bombardier, Jungle Jet(known also as Embraer)? Exactly, MAXIMUM 5 weeks. So what is your point here? Learning to "drive" a certain jet does not take very long, especially the more experienced pilots among us.
