Where was this advertisement that you speak of? I'm probably going to be made redundant shortly and I'm looking for a job!

Allthenines,

The ad appeared in Flight International, dated 4-10th Sept. They are looking for Capts., F/Officers, and Cabin Crew.

If you can't find it, then I,ll pass on more details.

Hope you are not made redundant!

Phew.......well, you did ask !......

Flintstone

Just heard from ms Rola, not much was said just that they are recruiting until the end of next year and will hear from them basically when they feel like it. Cant believe a company size and high profile like Netjets would do something like that. But will keep trying as would like the job think its off to charter for the time being still looking very hard for vvip f/a's job but its a hard slog happy hunting hope u guys have better luck should have been a pilot instead of looking after self loading freight. :eek:

Hi Lads, I was invited to a NetJets interview in Paris. The ticket from South Africa was booked, the hotel and all - two weeks before the occasion I get an email to say all interviews are cancelled and have never heard anything more.

Nice one guys! :mad:

putco,

When was that, exactly ?

Thanks,

T2

Putco
DAMM!!! we could have had a brewsky together...Sorry man, looks like Ill see you there sooner than here....its not looking good here either (Swisslundaus) and am seriously looking to come back asap...Wait !!!! Ill email you
Cheers
hb4g :p

T - the axact date of the email sent to me was 21 April 2001, confirming my interview and tickets and hotel.

I then received another a while later saying all had been cancelled, no explanation was given.

Cheers

4Granted, check your email Bwana, MaxTorque, you too! beers are iced and ready!

Same happened to me back in January. I replied again to their recent ad and nothing so far! Fortunately I have a decent job but I wouldn't mind 6 on 5 off. I'd have to take a bit of a pay cut though, but for what looks like a part time job, I'd do it I think......... :cool:

Activewaypoint do you know the pay scale for Capts in Netjets?
Cheers

well, I know they have a varying scale depending on experience. They have some sort of weird table which brings in variables such as jet time, turboprop time etc. I expect Flintstone could enlighten us perhaps.
Whereas one could expect mid to late 40's in a small corporate outfit, Netjets seems to be in the late 30's, but they get per-diems on top. Its a complex equation which has to include lifestyle etc. I think its a reasonable package these days if one ever got a reply..............

Pay has just been revised with a view to creating a bit more parity. The situation had developed where certain people of similar experience had different salaries.

Starting pay would depend on experience of course. I know what I get but wouldn't dream of asking anyone else so I can't help you there I'm afraid.

Like activewaypoint says, the days off have a lot going for them.

Sorry to but in bit has anyone got some contact details for one of your Hawker guys: Nick Nightingale, I've lost track of his details and thought someone could help me.
cheers mali. :confused:

I spoke to Anabella Rola today and she told me that they needed 100 pilots in the next 18 mo's but they received 1644 quallyfying CV's, So don't get your hope up.

PD

I wish I hadn't started this thread!

I was quite optimistic beforehand!

Good luck to you all.

Netjets Europe
 

Well, now all the recent bout of bitching seems to have stopped...has anyone been hired from the interviews at the end of last month?:cool:

Not sure, but I received a charming telephone call in the last few days inviting me to interview in Paris in early August.

Any clues as to what I should expect at interview/sim would be greatly appreciated.

Silly question time : is it possible to have a gateway airport of London in Summer and Geneva in Winter ?(need to spend as much time as possible in the Alps!)

Regards to all,

GA

Why ......you don't want much do you!!!!:eek:
In this environment you want to count your blessings that you've got a job,if in fact you get the offer!!!:cool:

What an unusual response Chinny.

I was simply hoping for a little information about the current recruitment profile.

The 'aside' was simply that - nothing to get excited about?! (Unless of course you are a fanatical non-skier!)

I do count my blessings that I have a job, however, it never hurts to apply to fly within a different environment and it rarely hurts to ask questions from colleagues.

Regards,

GA

Another reason for dual basing is the tax position associated with being out of the UK for 275 days per year (no income tax ;) )

Free skiing (or boarding) and no income tax - what a terrible way to live. Throw in some top of the range biz jet and you will have a very happy GA!

Sorry to slash & burn - keep in the general direction of the topic - well, within 180 degrees of it would help.4HP

I've got the call with an offer anyone else??

Jet Net,

Be most grateful if you could drop me an e-mail with regards to my forthcoming interview.


Gentleman Aviator

What to expect for the interview.
 

First, you'll have a psychological test. Nothing unusual, same as airlines.
You can get books related to this subject at different book stores.

Second, you'll be invited to chat with three persons from the cie.

One will be talking about safety, Jepps, aerodynamics (simple things), and put you in a situation with a go minded captain to land below minimum.

Another one will be talking about things such as catering. Of course with some problems such as: "This is not what I've ordered! I want what I've asked and I want to leave on time...".
Deal with it...
Another scenario could be oversize luggages that can not be put on board. Think about next day delivery with DHL, FEDEX, or others... Good old cargo goes almost anywhere now a day...

Remind to yourself that they don't want to hear false informations. Be honest and tell them the truth...
Stay a public relation type of guy...

Another one will ask about your previous employer and the three things you would consider negative about yourself.

Third, the sim check.
You'll fly the Falcon 10 from A to B without A/P and flight director.
You'll have an SID departure with a break in between to do some 45° bank turns then proceed to your destination.
You'll have to shut down one engine for what ever reasons, shoot 1 ILS approach with a go around single engine, then come back with a full stop.
For those already qualified on the Falcon 10, you might get an engine failure on take-off, so expect scenarios to change depending on your background.
For those who haven't touch a stick for years and have used auto throttle, would be good idea to practice again basic scanning...
No fancy EFIS or glass cockpit. This is back to good old instruments.

Just stay cool, polite, honest and you'll have a pretty good chance to get in.

I've seen a lot of negative things in this forum. I won't come back on what has been said. Just remember that Netjets Europe is still a young cie and it takes years before things get stable.
Big airlines didn't make it in one day.
Management will do mistakes so will we before finding the right path.
Don't forget they started with 2 or 3 SII's.
What a change since then... and still growing...

Good luck to all of you...

Net Jet

What airplane were you hired onto ?
Just keep in mind : our payscale has recently been changed and some of us had to take up to 30 % paycuts.
The rationale for that as given by management was that now everything would be based upon seniority. Pay as well as progression.
I congratulate you for having been chosen but be aware of the fact that you have stepped upon people more senior than you should you be a direct entry to the F 50.

Big Mosquito,

You are a gentleman indeed.

If I do get in, I owe you a beer - a Belgian one, of course!

GA

G A

The Big Mozzi has got it about right - sounds a bit like the interview I suffered. I can add very little.


Fakawi

I don't know the fleet I've got. I will read the offer letter very carefully before I sign anything. How do you like working for them? Anything I should lookout for? How does the 6 on 5 off thing work?

Anyone else got the phone call or is it just me?

Net Jets Interview
 

Anybody got the format for the day of interviews?

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers!

PB

Check your PM

Regards~

How long have you've been wayting for an interview

p.d.

p.s. And tell us what happened

If you are interviewing for a NetJets USA job then you should check out www.aviationinterviews.com There is tons of information however it is only relavent to the USA division.

As for the NJME interview, been there, done that, got the PFO letter. What do you specifically what know?

As for the NJE interview, sorry mate, can't help yu there.

How/where?
 

I have heard from rumours interviews are 15th to 17th of february at Gatwick.

I didn't see an advert anywhere, but I have emailed my application to [email protected] with no answer. I have 2350 hours, 450 jet, and ATPL.

Was there a postal address the application should have gone to?

Thank you all.

The e-mail application should do it. No point in sending a paper copy.

So, what happended, I haven't heard a word, not even a confirmation receipt of the email.

I will send them another one, it might have been lost somewhere!

Nasty american culture in NJE. The damage they're doing to the charter business in europe is huge. Employees treated badly etc.
Its all been posted before, I've heard its not getting better. Better off out of it, don't join.:ugh:

Thanks for the replies Guys,

Did the days interview, it was the most laid back interview I have had since leaving school. Mostly role playing situations like what if you had just taken off and the paxs were complaining of banging noises from the back, what would you do? Back on the ground it turns out that the F/O has left the keys in the baggage hold.etc. etc.

Apparently it had happened!!! The guy giving all the verbal was called edited out by admin.

This was followed by a sim ride. Quite a poorly organised day considering it is a USA Company.

Any way got the standard P.F.O. email that was not even addressed personally to me. I thought I had won a time share appartment/condo in Portugal when I recieved it but on further evidence it was from the Human Remains Dept.

No use in crying over spilt milk onwards and upwards hopefully

Do not name names, people... simply not on. And the use of a few "in my opinions" is helpful too, when it comes to criticism of a process from such close quarters to the event. Sick Squid.

:cool:

Pennine Boy

it might not feel like it just now, but you are better off out of there. Good luck in the future elsewhere

I agree with Activewaypoint. Working for NJE is a waste of time. They dont have a clue what they are doing. No seniority, poor pay, As a matter of fact NO NOTHING. Treated badly.
Overworked underpaid. Hire fire policy.

The rumour has it. As soon as the market picks up. Pilots will be leaving for other companies. So dont bother wasting your time and careers, and dont believe a word they tell you.

Good luck.

Private Detective.

I would kindly remind folk to read the red warning at the bottom of the page before fully digesting the contents of postings, specifically those containing vitriol & intended to cause concern. Then, if you´re still not sure, check the profile of specific posters and, if you´ve got the time, check the typical content of their previous posts to verify their character and apparent ability to be able to make fair comment on a topic.
