My mate applied in early September and got an invitation to interview three months later! I guess they're snowed under.

any idea on what they pay their f/o's and capt.s and what the work schedule is like???

The European situation may not be anything like the USA one, but the following URL might be of interest - it's the EJA (NetJets) USA pilots' union site! (amazing what you find surfing around...) There are some bits you can't get into without the password, but lots of good stuff available without it, USA salary scales, interview hints, some limited info on work patterns etc... www.ejapilots.com

Cheers mate!!!!!!!

Netjets interview
 

I have been offered an interview with Netjets in Paris and will be based in Saudi.
Could anyone give me details of pay, aircraft,and general conditions at Netjets Middle East.
Thankyou All

EG,

Netjets aircraft in the Middle East will be Hawker 800XP, Falcon 2000 and Gulfstream IV/V aircraft with the possiblilty of adding BBJs.

Not sure about pay or living conditions.

Sounds like some nice corporate iron to fly - have fun!

Regards

NetJets
 

Can anyone give me some info on NetJets as an employer please? E.g. rosters, pay etc., what they are like as an employer etc. Any info much appreciated!

Jimmy, I have tried on several occasions to elicit some info from Netjets people, either Europe or Middle East, all to no avail. I suspect apathy reigns.......

Jimmy the Pilot,

Although I am not a NetJets pilot, I do know a little bit about its operation in both Europe and the Middle East.

The Euro operation is bulking up on very well-equipped Hawker 800XPs and Falcon 2000s. I believe it still operates a few Citation-series aircraft in the region, but they will eventually be phased out (or so I have been told). At one point, pilots were based out of Lisbon - but I am not sure whether UK bases are offered.

As far as I know, the Middle East operation will use Hawker 800XPs, Falcon 2000s and Gulfstream IVSPs. My understanding is that the pilot base will be in Dammam (Dhahran), Saudi Arabia.

I have heard only good things about the operation in general. Again, you get to fly new, well-equipped jets to a wide variety of destinations throughout the world. Sounds good to me...

Hope this limited information helps - check past threads for more detailed information.

Cheers

Schedule: 6 days on, 5 off. Normal 17 workdays a month, max 19 (2 extra days means also extra pay). The first day you fly to the airport where "your" plane is, the last day of the tour you fly home.

Base : anywhere in Europe within 1 hour from a major airport (pilot picks his 'homebase").

Info about the airplanes is correct. Citation SII will be phased out. More new planes are coming.They have 4 SII, 3 Citation VII, 3 Falcon 2000, 10 Hawker 800 XP and 2 Falcon 900.

Salary depends on total time and jetexperience. Starts I think at about 3000 euro/month for an FO plus 60 euro per diem. About 500 euro (for FO) pensionfund. Medical insurance with a big US company is included.

In general, a fast growing very good company. Nice people (pilots from all european countries). Good to very good hotels during the tours. Good training with Flight Safety in the USA and a lot of interesting courses (CRM etc.).

NetJest?

The EU Programme may be ok but the Muddle East Programme?

Make sure you get some straight answers from the interviewer! (ha ha)

*ç)(/&çç*+""!!!!

Rimfire,

What do you know about Netjets Europe or Middle East....?

see this

I have read it.......but what does Rimfire know about Netjets Europe/Middle East......? Where is his opinion based on....?

NJME
Interesting comments Fokjok, I can see where they came from, but once your in the door things get better, The money isn't top dollar but still it's good, and the company is still in the eairly phase and in a similar state as Netjets Europe was at this time of there life.
But they still have a long way to go.
They have been doing a lot of interviewing for both the HS-125 and F2000, I beleave they are still looking for pilots on both aircraft that have time on type, but only for Falcon F/O's with no time on type.
The roster is 7 on 4 off and the money is from $45K up tax free with an appartment etc.
You need keep on them and be persistant they have a lot of people applying.
Jeddah is the base which I guess is the best of Saudi citys.
Keep at them they have some great people working for them and theres lots of potential.
Good luck!!

SSBJ,

received acknowledgement of my c.v.from the HR mgr at NJME six weeks ago till now nothing heard.

would appreciate if you could advise on the process detail of interview e.g. how long would you be called up before they receive your c.v., how long to start after interview if sucessful, training details as to which facility, employment package for F/O etc.

thanks for the help.

It took me a couple months to get a reply from Netjets ME then suddenly an interview and now waiting for results.
Found HR very helpful although somewhat swamped with volume of applicants.
I found the interviewers friendly and informative.

Triple B,
Thanks for the info, care to share how they contact you for interview and the package is like? By e-mail, phone or you just received an invitation letter with an air ticket in your mail box?

Good luck to your result.

Cheers!

triple B
When did you do your interview?
I am also waiting for the happy news (I hope)

Frogfly,

I did my interview in August and like you, I hope all goes well for us.
I contacted HR and it seems they've been ties up with delivery of the Falcon 2000.
Hope to see you in Jeddah.

Jimbo: see my post on Netjets Europe's package:

hope it helps.

NetJets are slow in getting in contact; -my experience is that they phone if they want you to come for an interview. They will send you a ticket to go to Flight Safety at Paris , Le Bourget, - (NetJets are owned by the same company that owns Flight Safety). The interview lasts the whole day with a psychometric test, technical questionaire, interview in front of a panel of three NetJets staff, (2 pilots & a representitive from Personnel) & finally a sim ride on a Citation. The whole show is well run & seems almost too good to be true, (so it would be nice to get some feedback from someone who is actually working for the company). They are very cagy about pay & you will have to push them to give you a straight answer; -to get an accurate picture you will need to give them a detailed rundown of your hours as pay is caculated pro-rata to *factored hours; -*1 hour of C152 is worth ,let's say, .2 of an hour wheras 1 hour on Falcon 2000 is calculated as 1 whole hour. The sim ride is normally just a SID, a transition & a STAR with an engine failure, but watch out because the citation is rigged to behave as though it has it's engines under the wings(?). You will get a response after two or three weeks, maybe longer; -if you are successful offering you a position, if you are lucky, on a specific fleet. Don't be surprised if ,when you were going for a Captains job, that they propose you a copilots salary; -that is what you will get until you are through your line training & given a command. Netjets are looking for a lot of pilots rifgt now, in fact their requirements have nearly doubled in the last week to approximately 100 pilots. They have had so much demand on the Falcon 2000 that they have had to bring an 2000 airframe over from the USA & have bought the 900's while waiting for the 2000's on order to be delivered.

That remark about the "co-pilots" salary is not true. There are a lot people hired to be a captain and getting a probationary captains salary, which is slightly lower than a captains salary but much better than a copilots salary.
Netjets is not "fuzzy" about the salary, but they need a detailed breakdown of your hours to give you a quote (PIC, jet-time, multi etc.).
When you pass the selectionprocess, you'll get a job-offer including the salary they offer you. It's then up to you if you accept it or not.

Yes, just as thought. Everyone on a different deal. Great way to boost moral, that.

You would expect that from an operator in some Banana Republic in the third world.

I've been flying for NetJets since 94. first the Citation s-2, then Citation Ultra, then Hawker One Thou. now Falcon Two Thou. I'll tell you what you want to know about NetJets US, if you'll tell me stuff about NetJets Europe and NetJets Middle East.

Thanks

I worked in a banana republic, so I know what that's like. Netjets does not come even close to that.....
The good thing about their way of paying salary, is that you get paid for your experience, not just by seniority or the type you fly. In this way they can attract high timers. Because the pay per fleet is the same, you don't get the usual fights to get to the bigger aircraft etc.

Delphi
To be more precise about the difference in pay for Probationary Captains: -I was offered a Captains salary equivelent to £32.5K with a probationary salary of £18. Now that is not what I call "close"; whether you call it a Copilots' or a Probationary Captains' salary is immaterial, those are the facts. Now, have things changed recently?

Thanks!

That's not the case right now. A friend of mine got recently hired at NJE and is offered almost the normal captain's salary.....

Of course, if you don't like the deal, don't take it. I just wonder why you guys sound so frustrated......

Does anyone know ,or is there anywhere I can find out, the requirements for the Europe and Middle East outfits? That is, licence type,nationalty,visas, hours etc?

------------------
Props are for boats!Unless its a Kingair.

Has anyone heard from Netjets ME lately after attending interviews?

With regard to Netjets Middle East operation, could someone tell me if an Australian licence is acceptable, or must you have an FAA or JAR.


------------------
Play it again Sam, I said play it !

National Air Service (Netjets ME)have just taken delivery of their first Falcon 2000.

Triple B,
I did mine in August and still waiting even after several phone calls and e-mail to the management.

NAS in Jeddah has a couple of Gulfstreams IV's I think, two Hawker 800XP's and the first Falcon 2000 is just doing it's proving flights and is down Bangkok way, dunno what they're proving down there, but it's only just recently arrived. It's been a slow start and the head fred M Al Zeer has a debatable rep, rest of the flight crew seem pretty OK. Business seems a bit slow and not too many shares sold. Couple of the G V's that were slated to come over haven't shown up yet, but it is early days yet.

Do you think that the idea of fractional jet ownership can actually work in the Middle Eastern environment.?
