NETJETS Europe hiring again

[GGGrrr]

Looking to get in touch with the candidates who were having their stage 3 with me at FAB on Dec 5.
Drop a pm if possible, cheers.

Either someone really wants to join the Netjets-family, or not.

Or he/she tries hard and never gets an answer. Happened to me, and better people than me. (many years ago, but still...) For me it was most likely much better than joining NJE, but thats another story...

And I now a few not-so-happy campers. Bottom line (for me): its a company and as an employee, you're just that. I don´t marry my employer, although I´m with the current one now for almost 15 years.

When you look at the fact that the company employs nearly 600 pilots, you will always find someone who's unhappy. Yes, as mentioned in this thread here, there are some things that are not great and the Union is looking at fixing them. We just need a bit of leverage. And those who are really, really unhappy, could just leave for greener pastures - but somehow they don't, although they are ranting and complaining every single day. And we have had a people leave for better jobs, so they thought, but only a few were lucky. Many, though, had to look for new employers at a regular basis, because their aircraft got sold, or the owner moved his aircraft to another management company etc.. You, working for the same employer for 15 years, are one of the lucky ones - and you know that perfectly well. And you have also come by the type of person that will never be happy, no matter what you do. These people need to work a normal job for some time to appreciate how well we are treated (not limited to Netjets, but in general), normally.

One more time: my message about keeping on trying was meant as motivator. If Netjets was really soooooooo bad, we'd have a much higher turnover of crew. But we don't. I have been with the company in excess of 17 years already and I am in good company with this. I think I know what I am talking about, in regards to Netjets.

I am sorry for those who haven't made the selection. For those that have, I have met a genuinely lovely and fun bunch of pilots and cabin crew this week. Enjoy the day off

A little bit offtopic question for the anyone that flew into the UK from the EU for the interview recently:

How did it work with the PCR test on arrival, were you able to get the result on the same day? Wondering how many days I have to fly in early to have the result guaranteed on interview day.

[wondering]

EatMyShorts!

well said. I know one case personally. Constantly chasing new jobs after leaving NJE. Not many pilots are in the comfortable position to fly for decades for a well run corporate or private gig which offers better conditions.

In order to get a balanced view of what is being offered, can anyone share the amount covered by the training bond and if it is reducing or non-reducing over the 3 years?

Thanks

[redsnail]

17 years ago it covered the cost of the type rating and it reduced over 3 years.
What the deal is now I don't know, I suppose I could ask someone in January.

[pilotarosa]

I have no idea either, had twice training bonds but nether thought of leaving, so didn't care. This is my 3rd type rating and no bond.

Entreiß UK

As a german lad, anyone an idea how to deal with the new regulations? And how expensive is a PCR test in UK? I am wondering, bc afaik you need extra 24h in UK for the test result, do a test before flying, do a test before flying back to Germany and do another one in Germany. And from the last weekend on, full 14 days quarantine in Germany.... Yeah

Anyone from Germany attending in January? Please PM

Could any NetJets pilots share a typical 6 day roster? Would be interesting to see the length of duty/destinations etc. I know it varies a lot but it would be really helpful to get an idea of what a 6 day tour would look like 😊 Feel free to dm it if you don’t want to post it here. Cheers!

Most bonds are 2 years, reducing every month.
I think there is one 3 year bond for one of the longer haul types.

[EatMyShorts!]

In summer you will usually be on an early airline on day 1 and most likely you will then operate between 1 and 3 flights that day. Nightstop with minimum rest (11 hours or length of previous duty period, if longer than 11 hours), 3 to 4 legs, next hotel, next min rest of 11 hours or longer etc.. You will probably fly 15 to 20 legs during a tour. If they keep you really busy, you might end up with 55 hours of duty on day 5 and they'll send you home already. If you were unlucky and had a slower day before, you'll finish on day 6 and if they squeeze in just one flight before going home. When they are short on crew, like this year, they might ask you to agree to extend your duty (NOT flight duty!) to 65 hours for the week, but they can only use duty in excess of 60 hours to position you home. And you get extra money for it.

The summer is usually busy and you will regularly hit 58 to 60 hours of weekly duty. Winters are slower and good to take a breath and actually enjoy some time off or on STBY in a hotel to do other things than sleep-eat-fly-eat-sleep.

Thank you EatMyShorts!

Thank you all for the information, what is the approximate amount covered by the bond, presumably somewhere in the 10-20k Eur range?

We do this regularly and you shouldn’t expect the checkin / gate staff to know any exemptions that apply. We are advised to travel in uniform and the company provided a couple of letters (I only used the letter once).

What you need though is your crew badge and PLF (completed the the crew exemption).

You will need a pre-departure test up to 72 hours old but don’t need to book any day 2/5 etc
