Netjets Europe hiring FO's
Netjets (USA) did not fire a lot of people, they got furloughed and all have been called back in recent years.
You cannot compare Flexjet Europe with Netjets Europe. Are they even operating?
Cheers from a 14+ year employee at NJE. I am so scared, the job is so insecure.

NJE ran some form of sponsorship scheme about ten years ago and I know that many of the cadets were not taken on at the time in flying roles. I had a discussion with NJE HR that until even recently not all had been absorbed and I'm curious if I missed something in translation, meaning that either some had gone elsewhere or that there were still cadet's waiting for placements?

I was there in 2009 when the doodah hit the fan. Although it was a difficult time, the company did treat us all well, there were many options open to leave/stay etc. Many of us left and I can't comment on conditions now but I can at least say we were treated very fairly by NJE and BH. Nobody was given an ultimatum (besides some management I'm sure!)
I enjoyed my time there but aviation is a cruel mistress....

Still better than "no amount"...
The Netjets cadet scheme produced a number of ab-initio pilots. Due to the economic situation and some f****ups only a few made it into Netjets and are still with us. The others were later offered a full lump sum to help them pay off a big part of their training mortgage/debt, in return for leaving the Netjets contract. I know one of them, he's now a captain on a very nice business jet in his hometown, hopefully still with very nice contractual conditions etc.

Well, when you have no choice but to leave anyway from the top of the seniority list, you take whatever you are given. you quote people whom found a job, there was a lot whom did not..
P, I am fully aware that the actions of 2012 were a disgrace, but these times are behind us, we are signing our new CBA today.
Your should have been invited for the last round of hiring a few weeks ago, haven't you applied?

Well I did reapply, but since they subcontracted this to a third party, i am not sure about the criteria of choice. These are the communications :

These times are behind for the ones whom stayed, for the others it is still there, they fired people on long term disability leave, with no licence, no loss of licence insurance, no insurance whatsoever, people whom six years later are still paying the bill...

Me too. Booked my slot for early next week with interest. Gutted really, as NJ was my original target when I got into commercial aviation >12y ago but before I had the hours to apply! With 000's of hours of European operations airline command time and and a succesfull business career before that, I know I'm not gods gift to aviation but I thought I at least ticked all their boxes enough to get myself a chance to sell myself in person. Hopefully it's because they were inundated with applications from biz jet guys/gals already rated on their types. From talking to other ex-corporate pilots, the lifestyle at NJ seems pretty much up there in terms of work/life balance in this sector.

Ok guys, just got the debriefing from Kura.
Very nice people, although they are clueless about the specifics of business aviation, example, one of the reason my CV did not pass the cut was because I did not have a MCC certificate.... I have an ATPL since 1993...MPO operations on CS25 aircraft on my license with thousands of hours, but no MCC certificate....
Second, my english level is only 5 on my license although my certificate is level 6 ( french politics)....
and too many hours for applying for a first officer position
and that was it !
So Netjets played it very well with this provider, asking them criterion that would not be accessible to former captains ( at my time you would need 3500 hours to join the company)
Fly safe everyone !

Interesting to learn of the PFOs. I’ve only recieved the initial ‘we love you for applying and promise feedback’ automated response. Twice. Still waiting for the return love!
Rumour has it that NetJets are quite busy at the moment. I've seen some base training on the Falcon 2000; does anyone know if there is any command recruitment ongoing, and if so what the potential opportunities would be like for rated Falcon 2000 commanders?

Unfortunately NetJets Europe doesn't hire DEC pilots. There are occasionally office opportunities.
