Easy...
 

Easy to make a calculation,
just ask anybody in eurozone how much is their basic salary after tax, before own country possible contribution...so you will see how much it is the total amount of money taken out from portugal and UK.
So i will find out as well :)

Happyjack, I think you are wrong with what you say regarding the percentages.

It depends on how much you earn as to what 'percentage band' you fall into.

eg. a captain will pay a smaller percentage, because it is a percentage of a larger salary/number, where as a FO and FA will payer a larger percentage because their total salary is less.

The 5% figure comes from the contributions made for NJE pilots who are on a Portuguese 'Non Resident' contract, regardless of rank.
U.K Class A NI contributions are currently 11% of salary unless you earn less than 90 odd quid a week This is for guys on the U.K contract.
The other option is to take a Portuguese contract and pay NI and taxes locally in Portugal were the percentages for NI are very similar, as funnily enough are the net tax figures.
Now......back to the footy!

How was it?, Could you share some details about the assessment?
Keep us posted
Thanks
:ok:

and most important: Which fleet? My bet is on the G-V...:)

Hawker 800XPC
 

Guys guys,
indoc is great...busy but company is real serious place to be and lots of professionals to speak to. We met director of flight ops and director of EU ops which is the big chief of all of us. ANyways
no GVs, no Falcons for anybody...cadets and ex Military and ex Airlines here, we all got Hawker800XPCs and Citations XLSs...
i was initially scheduled for 400XP but they changed before indoc cause those fleet are not flying at all almost because of complimentary upgrades given to owners to keep them as clients...so busy feet is always H800 and C.XLS....
Hopefully will be better in few months...but for now...no growth...
but company is well put for the storm...if it doestn last forever of course...
I am fine for anybody that cares...yes fred, this is for you!

...if it doestn last forever of course...

Was that added by you, or is it a quote of one of the managers ?

Nice to hear that you enjoy it! Have fun! :-)

Spainfly, if this downturn lasts more than a couple of years then everyone is in the brown stuff, not just private aviation companies. Which is why every government in the world is trying like hell to fix it. Better hope that they succeed.

Damianik, welcome. Have fun. Where you going for the simulator?

Welcome to the XPC. I hope you enjoy NJE as much as I do.

Congratulations!! It looks everything went pretty well.:ok:
Hope you enjoy it.
Check your PM's

Farnborough January....christmas i will go ski...since now it is snowing like hell up in the alps!!
Cheer up guys...it is christmas time!!

I hope that new opportunities will be coming for anyone who wants to become pert of netjets. I think the situation will change pretty soon.

Great job on the XPC! Very nice aeroplane. Nice Pro Line 21 up front and respectable range should give you some nice tours when the aeroplane is flying. Let's hope for a better economy in the medium term for us all!

Anyone knows why we arent getting the BOSE headset anymore , instead we got the Telex Airman 850? i love the telex but i think for NJ kind of planes the bose is more fully protecting your ears. ANR isnt saving your ears, it is just saving you from realizing how bad the noise is out there.
Telex's passive protecion is close to none...

Hi Damian,

the headsets are being assigned according to fleets. Only pilots on the Bravo and on the 1900 get the Bose X headset, all the others get the 850 supplied - for free! If your fleet has an approval for the Bose, go and buy one in the US, it is much cheaper there.

Hey, you just joined NJE, feel lucky that you have a quite safe job in these times...

on top of it, only the same headsets are approved in the same flightdeck. ie two telex or 2 boses. In some fleets the bose is not even certified for use (2000 EASy for example). My advice is to use the company headset, ONLY !
Regarding the 850 it is a very good and quiet headset, in fact we do not hear the Flight attendant lol !!

CL300, don't write things that are not true... the 850 has a miserable ANR-function, compared to the Bose. The Bose is superb and I regularly pair up with people who use the Bose - never had *any* trouble on the intercom and/or radio. Never.

Well , I guess it is people sensitivity. It is so quiet FL410 and above.....

Lots of write ups in the tech log with x-talk problems on the XL fleet.
Usually caused by mis-match of headsets.
CL300 is correct!

Damian, your gonna fit in just great!
It won't be long before you want a pay rise and more Per Diems!
Just what we need, more pilots wanting more!!!
