It’s based on business needs at the time, but policy has the majority joining on the Phenom and XLS. Some are lucky and join on the Latitude (the largest type you currently can stay on when you upgrade) and a handful have gone onto the Challengers.

...and the Falcons. We are going to see quite a few pilots leaving the Falcon for other fleets (upgraders, normal fleet changes), while the Falcon fleet is not shrinking as planned, thus we will need newly hired F/Os for the Falcons, too. The first course will start in October.

Do you think it’s possible to not to live at your ‘gateway city’ ?
I mean, imagine if you take a plane from your city to the gateway city you’ve chosen. Or do you actually start your duty days always in the early morning? Thanks!

Hi alphafox14,
You can... but there's risk. Unfortunately, most of the time Day 1 has a standby element beginning quite early. (04:00z). This gives Scheduling "flexibility". You can risk it but I wouldn't do that too often or what many do, position themselves at own cost to their gateway the night before. What is possible is that on Day 6, you can go directly to your home airport so long as it's cost effective to NJE.
Eg. You live near LEPA. But the gateway is LEBL. It is risky to catch an early flight on Day 1. So you can position yourself to LEBL in anticipation. Day 5 the tentative is available. You see a reasonably priced ticket to LEPA instead of LEBL, you ask if you can do that instead. If there's no conflict etc, then you can expect that. But! The one constant with NetJets is change.

You are supposed to reach the airport terminal within 60 minutes of travel time. Practically, it is not all that important if you are able to catch the requested airline - the travel distance/time is fully on you. It may become relevant, when you live several hours from your gateway airport and are put on standby duty at home. From activation, the company expects you to leave your house in 45 minutes or less, then travel max 60 minutes to the airport for a 60 minute airline show time. I always take a long distance, highspeed train to the airport and every now and then I need to travel to the airport the night before and sleep there at our contracted hotel (at own cost) to avoid getting up at 2am, because of bad train connections. We have colleagues who live 3 or 4 hours away from their gateways and they almost always have to travel the night before and stay at hotels or relatives'/friends' places - but this is their own choice. The company may ask you to report an address within 60 minutes travelling time to the airport. Maybe you have a relative or a friend who lives in such a place and you can use their address, for this purpose.
As you can see, there is an element of flexibility, but crew have to be able to reach their airlines on day 1. On the other hand, should your airline arrive very late on the last day of tour and you feel exhausted, the company will provide you with a hotel at your gateway. Just ask for it and give some reasons.
EDIT 2: redsnail mentioned LEPA: Palma is one of our seasonal summer gateways: in summer you can request to temporarily change your gateway to LEPA, no problem at all. Otherwise it would work as redsnail mentioned. You can even ask for day 1 if starting tour at another airport is possible - as long as the cost is equal or less, no issues - normally.

Yes, my situation would be something like that: 50 min flight from my city, prices are not that high but I know there would be a extra cost for hotel overnights and also the flight ticket. I know it’s risky and also more expensive but at least it’s possible. I didn’t know either as the other colleague said that you can ask for a different airport for the first and last day or repositioning (as long as the prices or duty time are the same)
I am also impressed that you can ask for a hotel at your gateway city (in some specific occasions as you said)
Thanks to both of you redsnail EatMyShorts! All my questions were answered and some extra information was given too! Very useful

Hi everyone,
I'll do the HR interview (stage 2) on Tuesday.
It's unrelated, but I wondered if NJE considers body height as a factor when assigning an aircraft to a successful candidate.
Coming from A320 so was never a question until now
Cheers
