Hello,I did the phone interview month ago and no reply by now...however I asked for salary conditions and they told me that at the moment don't have that info. Of course without this input is worthless for everyone continue with the process I think..

People spending money on tickets and hotels for the assessment and in return they can't even show what they offer. Sounds like a big red warning to me. Most companies doing this do it on purpose as they know no one would show up if they revealed the T&C.
The salary includes perdiems on top of salary as well as hotels with breakfast and an expense account credit card for all meals anytime so your per diems will just be saved.
I have just been offered the job and sent a letter of offer. The pay is not bad at all and they were very professional throughout the whole process.
They are taking this very seriously and will be a good outfit to work for.

Throughout the selection process they have been entirely professional, I don't really see what your problem is.

They pay for flights and hotels for interview.

Fully correct! I would be very suspicous as well. Most of those GA’s companies you simply cant trust them. I ve been there for some time and really happy i could escape that business.

I politely declined and I think thats when my cards were marked, hence my application was not taken any further.
It makes sense that if they have 7 or 8 of these Nextants with approx. 40 pilots crewing them that those crew get first option to upgrade but why not be honest with people applying for a job in the belief they are going to join the Legacy or Lear 75 fleet to be told at interview you first have to fly the Nextant and be trapped for 2 years.

During the phone interview they were talking about placing me on either the Legacy or Lear 75. Then during the face to face interview it was suggested that may not happen and would I go on the Nextant for minimum 2 years before changing type.

The only real benefit to being on something big like the G650 is if you want to move on to airlines (in my case I want to escape them) or you have a desire for long haul flights but that’s really it.
Money will be better on a bigger jet which is the only reason I would consider it due to having a family to support but would be perfectly happy to fly around in a Nextant.
All my Jet types are between 40T and 100T and there is nothing special about flying them or fun, especially for airlines.

Why do you say trapped for 2 years, bigger is not always better? There are a lot of benefits to flying a Nextant around Europe. You may find you love the flying and destinations on a Nextant.

The plan was to join an operator based in Europe therefore the Legacy seemed like a decent aircraft to move to, I have no desire to fly a Nextant with a cramped cockpit, small cabin, no real bathroom, no apu or pressure refuelling.
That is what I meant by being trapped, on a smaller biz jet type with no guarantee of moving back to the larger type.
Never mentioned the airlines, my commercial career has been corporate for 25 years and the last 15 years on medium to long range aircraft were the money is better than airlines.

Nextant pilots will also be offered the first upgrades. I think it could be a very good gig.
I think joining at this point in time, with the market being in a vulnerable position, is a gamble. If you got nothing to lose, yes, go there. If you have a good and safe job, do not.
