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!

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!

Check your PM

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.
