My guess at this point is that we are kind of in a standby position. Ah well. At least they held their word and actually respected their deadline.

Yeah, I guess by how this email was written no-one is "PFO'ed" yet?

The “Best wishes” at the end of the email does looks like a polite PFO email

Please note that this first step has been outsourced, so it's not Netjets people replying to you, most likely.

2 is the CUT-E type assessment
3 is online Zoom Interview (running from 5-12 oct in my batch at least)
4 is simulator/face-2-face interview (25-31 oct in farnborough)

they put it into phases but that’s the way it goes

Is there a way to practice for this CUT-E type assessment?

all I can say is that it’s non technical / focus on who you are, why you want to join, and what makes your profile fit.

you’re asked to confirm your documents (licenses. Endorsements, flight time) but that’s only Q&A, guess the document check is done once at farnborough.

interviews are running until the 12th so not expecting an answer before that, Sim+ face 2 face interview held last week of the month in U.K

good luck to all

Any hint of how to prepare for the CUT-E assessment?

EMS, a personal opinion, but one formed over 15 years of private and 20 years of airline flying, so it has some foundation. It does get my hackles up when I see posts from airline pilots who feel superior by default, and how dare they not get an interview. Not here necessarily, but it is common.

Now imagine a tour with an airline pilot with 8000+ hours on the RHS and a GA experienced pilot on the LHS in a phenom 100. If the CRM skills are not top notch and a discussion like this comes up, I can only wish the outcome will be safe

That is the problem. Your destiny is in the hands of morons , whom have no idea what Aviation is ! I cannot understand , why an airline is spending money with this kind of bull!!!! ? CUT-E test ?? WTF ??? Are we professional pilots or some High School students ? I cannot find any decent industry , where professionals are treated like this ! We are paying the dule for letting the beancounters ( and other parasites )to be in charge .

Netherlands gateway

Apologies for total off topic, but I see some members here are part of the Netjets family.
Would any one of you guys be able to share salary tax numbers for AMS gateway please? Non-resident/resident?
Many thanks

[Banana Joe]

Unfortunately it seems to be an EASA requirement now. I've had to do the same for a part time FI job at my former flight school.

Lubitz passed the DLR but he still did what he did.

I do not think you have to account for that, it seems like they state aft-tax figures whichever the country.

This proves it is a perfect bull!!!!, just there to make money for some parasites.

How do pilots pay their taxes? Are they paid directly by netjets or do you declare your income in your tax residence country?

[funkydreadlocks]

I hate psychometric tests, they feel useless and for a long time I thought they were. But Science says differently. and I'm not always a fan of companies outsourcing the initial recruitment process (I had a terrible experience with CTC now L3 doing just that), but it's a stretch to say that Kura know nothing about aviation. They are human factors experts and have an entire department dedicated to recruitment for the aviation indunstry, staffed by current airline pilots and similar folks.
It's an unfortunate part of the process. We just have to jump through the hoops and suck it up.

Not true. Currently you are either on a UK contract or Portuguese (only for those actually based there I think). The figures quoted are pre-tax.

Each country seems to be a bit different. I can only speak about UK bases but our per-diems are now mostly taxed which is obviously annoying.

So it comes down to the double taxation rules between the UK and your gateway.

It’s a hot topic with the union right now and I suspect EU contracts are on the horizon finally as I think it will be mandated by law soon.

Our Dutch and Danish colleagues are particularly badly hit by this currently.

I got the email on oct 1st to pick interview date on a 4-12th. I think all dates are on the Kura FAQ.

[pifpafpouf]

I’m not aware of anything so it’s just educated guess to take with a grain of salt.

Interviews still ongoing today, I expect an answer anytime between this eve and the end of the week after NJE review kura’s.

My guess is that they keep people on standby in case they don’t pass enough at this stage and do another round of interviews. they also mentioned (possible) extra sim/face2face dates (so phase 3) which I guess will depend on how many are successful during phase 3 on last week of October.

If the numbers I’ve seen are correct, they plan on hiring quite a lot of people, I wouldn’t be surprised another round is being planned for. From what I understood first courses are for december, but with notices and glitches It could totally keep going all of Q1 2022.

again purely speculative rumours

My interviewer told me that start dates will probably be offered until at least May when it comes job offers, so a successful applicant doesn't have to be rushed onto a course if someone has a notice period.

I am one of the old timers in NJE. European base,UK contract as everyone else who is not based in Lisbon. We get a NT code from HRMC, as our economic employer is in Lisbon. Then from the salary the company deduct the Portuguese non resident taxes. Portugal has double taxation agreement with most countries where we are gatewayed. In my case I do a tax declaration in Italy and pay the difference if there is any (normally not from the salary). Per Diem are 70 euros tax free. I suggest to not count per Diem as part of your salary, but as pocket money for when u are on tour. N.I. I still pay it in UK but the grandfather rights will finish soon and will need to choose where to pay it.
