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

The plf might be required officially, but I've not been asked to show it in about the last 1,5 year now, so I'm not sure as the rules change quite often.

Not sure if it's different for Netjets crew, but I'm working in the UK at an airline at the moment and for us there is no pre-departure test needed, but we do need to do the LFD test (I believe on day 2 and 5), which you can get for free delivered via the gov.uk website.

Hello,
I am wondering can anyone advise either here or in PM about the tax situation for pilot's in NetJets? Do you pay a flat rate in Portugal then top up in your own country or how does it work. Thank you.

I joined NJE in 2004 and had to leave in January 2013. Back in 2004 management was all about convincing the new hires to see NJE as the company they wanted to retire from after a long and enjoyable career. Unfortunately things turned out rather differently for a lot of us who actually wanted to do just that. Overselling of the 25 hours cards and thus disrupting a healthy balance between fractional ownership and the number of cards caused the company to own too many aircraft and when the 2008 crisis hit, there was an excess of around 300 pilots. Fortunately nobody had to be let go thanks to the willingness of the crew to accept one of the options offered. At the end of 2012 128 captains based, or “ gatewayed “, in France and Belgium were fired after new European legislation was introduced with regards to social security contributions for employers even though a 10-year transition period was allowed for people already employed. Although I thoroughly enjoyed my time at NJE, from a career point of view, I should probably never have left the cargo airline where I started my career. Bottom line for me, with NJE hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

I do have one more question. If you live within 1 hour of a Gateway are you guarantee'd to get that gateway for example if you tell them EGCC do you get that gateway or is it subject to availability/seniority? Thanks

You will get it, but you'll need some address that actually is within 60 minutes of travel. And if it just your friend's or brother's place. Obviously, when they put you on STBY, you'll need to be in that area as well.

When you guy's airline home do you do it in uniform or casual clothes?

There is currently a recommendation (not mandated) to position in uniform as it often helps facilitate easier movement through airports - some countries more than others such as France and Switzerland you will get treated with respect and others like the UK you tend to get treated worse 😜
About half the time I end my tour with ground transport within the UK

During COVID-times I always travel in uniform to make the process easier. Off COVID I do it as well, mostly, for the same reason. Less hassle. Except for UK airports, where crew travelling in uniform seem to be put under special scrutiny at security check points. In other countries it is the opposite.

Hey guys,
Great thread! Really nice to see some comments from actual NJE pilots around how "real life" work scenarios would look like.
Anybody up for Stage 3 end of January/Beginning of Feb? Would be nice to get in touch!

Good afternoon from Alps. I have seen so many discussion about the contract and how's life inside of NJ. Does anyone finally passed the Stage 3 or Simulator Screening and willing to share some details? Would be great!! All the rest comes later :-)

No, it's different. Very different roster, possibly less money (depending on the contract/aircraft), not the same bonus etc..
