If true those figures are very low compared to the majority of business jet operators out there.

Compared to which operators? Flexjet has to be compared to other similar outfits that carry the cost of a large organisation in the background like NetJets and VistaJet. Netjets captain's salary is around 100 000 EUR I guess and for VistaJet it ranges from 84000 - 96000 EUR depending on fleet type. It's not fair to compare salaries with owner jobs where the owner often pays the crew directly. That said I do agree that the salaries seems to be on the lower range but what else to expect in Europe? Compared to similar outfits this seems to be the highest payer. The GA sector is much behind most large airlines. So I guess FlexJet has to rely on the flying school VistaJet which gladly will feed them with crews.

Is 15/15 including the proceeding days? Otherwise it just turns into another 17/13 roster... 35 pounds of per diems sounds like they taken straight from Vistajet. How about training on your 15/15 or on your off days? Holidays?

15-15 (proceeding on day 1 and 15)... 35 pounds per diem but all meals on Company Credit Card (so you don’t spend your per diem)... 28 days vacation days on top on your days OFF. Training during your 15 days ON.

I was advised by a colleage who went for interview that contracts will be done through Contractair Ltd with no possibility of any form of offshore

Do you get that in writing or just a carrot on a stick though? :) I'm sure the 400XTi can be a fun plane to fly but if after those two years you don't get the promised position/chance to upgrade to something a bit more "pilot comfortable" you end up with a fairly useless rating to go find a better job with.

Well, considering the aircraft types emb legacy and nextant, and the rotational roster, I´m actually not sure that the conditions disclosed above are substandard in Europe - but I stand corrected. However, I do not believe that the company will be able to retain the best of their crew going into the future, as those will likely be looking for better opportunities (CoS, pay, etc.) soon enough, as the opportunities arises. The industry, including biz jet aviation, is facing a supply issue (of qualified and skilled candidates) and the race to the bottom has come to an end. Employers are now facing the reality of the market, and that they have to put forward better employement conditions to retain and attract.

Time frame
 

Hi guys.
A question for those who did the assessment.
What's the normal time frame after the first phone interview, to be contact for the next steps of the assessment?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

I was given a selection of dates for the face to face interview at the end of the phone interview, then a couple days later confirmed by email.

Exactly the same!

Looking at charter operation - it can be both, depends on your operation/sales department and how they share the info with the cockpit crews.
Sometimes they sell flights a month in advance but it will be assigned to an a/c only few days before - thats when you will know about it.
There is also always the chance for last minute charters/AOG support flights.
Coud be different with owner only operation (ie. no charter)
My current experience is to know about 2-3 days beforehand where I will be, if there is no ad-hoc flights coming in.

I wonder if anybody was hired?
 

I know 5 people attending the selection process at Burgess Hill at different dates, all liked the friendly & fair atmosphere. But nobody was hired.
I wonder if they really hire people?

I heard from a friend who did the interview, they are looking for pilots having already experience in corporate/VIP flights.
I don't know for your friends Herman ?

all very bizjet experienced, thousands of hours, 2 even Legacy rated.

All from Netjets Germany, errrr, Air Hamburg :}

Ah, there are not so many Legacy operators in Germany, then it was a wrong guess.

who says these 2 guys were from Germany? I didn't....
