I'll answer a few of those questions. I live in the UK so my financial set up is relatively simple - for now. (I pay tax and social securty in the UK, not Portugal).
Health insurance is BUPA. It's available 24/7/365 for you and qualifying family members.
There is a pension scheme. It's very straight forward in the UK but the continental one seems to be a lot more complicated tax efficiency/punishment wise.
Instead of a percentage of your pay and you topping it up. You get a 60% match up to your input of €13K. You are able to pay in more.
UK permits the payments to come out of gross salary (hence tax efficient).

The questions about FOs pay etc is very individual and is dependent on many variables such as flight demand and what option the individual has taken.

Hi guys,

Regarding this latest recruitment from Kura, did you receive an email acknowledgement that your application was submitted?

I’d also be curious to hear more or less how long it took to receive a positive/negative reply regarding the next step - which I believe is an online selection stage, from what I’ve read here.

I’m trying to plan on how I can make the Feb/Mar in-person selection, if I get that far.

Thank you for the insight, I appreciate the solidarity in what seems like a competitive assessment for a great employer!

They just put you on another fleet

I had the same today? any feedback you can give?
thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
Received today a email from Kura asking me to complete a one-way video interview, any feedback from this one? what should I expect?
I know that this question was made before, just trying my luck :)
Thanks in advance.

Your choice of permanent gateway will determine where you pay social security. The countries ss rules determine what you get out of it, e.g. public health insurance, state pension, unemployment insurance etc, as you will have the same status that any employee living in that country has.

On top you will have BUPA, international (without USA, only emergency) private health insurance for yourself and family members that's accessible 24/7/365. The company offers a pension plan and will match contributions to a certain level if you choose to partake in the scheme.

Regarding net salary, that setup results in some more or less favorable countries depending where you are in the salary bracket.

Germany for example has relatively high deductions for an FO just starting out as the annual gross is just at the social security cutoff point, so you pay 25% PT tax + 20%ss which is more than a regular german employee would pay at the same salary. However after one full year together with the productivity reward that will change in your favor as now the 25% PT Tax is less than the german tax, germany doesn't double tax and social security is capped at the max absolute contribution. You now have more net than a normal german employee at the same salary.

So as you see there are no blanket statements regarding net pay, you need to do your homework to work out how all of this plays out where you want to live. As a tip, google for a tax calculator for the country you are interested in, put in the gross salary but only look for the social security bit in result. Then, take the NJ gross, deduct 25%, deduct the social security figure from the calculator amd you should have a pretty good ballpark figure of the net pay in that country.

hey Man, how are you? Did you receive any news ? I submitted my application on the 15th and haven’t heard anything other than Kuras webpage on which it says I’ve submitted the application, that’s all. Thanks man. And good luck in advance.

NETJETS Europe 2024
 

Hi guys, thanks for the good information posted on the forum. I was just wondering how long did netjet Europe took to answer to those who have recieved the video interview or presentation from Kura as mentioned on the threads here. I’m a turboprop experienced guy on the Atr. , two otter etc, Anyone who got the answer or joined the company in the past had same sort or experience or having jet time is the trick even if they don’t mention it on min requirements ? Thank yeeeer all.

Brejojr The video section of the initial interview will be about specific NetJets questions. It's probably a fairly standard "tell us what you know about X company" (I think - I am not in recruitment). If you can, I would get someone to ask such questions to you so you can get more comfortable articulating your thoughts. This is pretty standard stuff for any interview.

Topperharley61 As you can imagine, Kura are pretty busy sifting through all the applications. I didn't have any jet time before joining. Multi pilot is essential though. Ideally an ATPL too. Stage 3 interviews are planned for Feb and March.

thanks a ton man, I’ll keep a look out on my mail. I’m a multi pilot airplane driver as a captain on the atr fleet , so I really hope we get to hear something.

Anyone who can give any advice of how the interview / group exercise works? What type of questions they ask during the interview, I can understand a lot of operational theory questions?
Thanks!

The interview and group exercises are pretty industry standard stuff. If you've done them before for an airline interview, then you should be reasonably familiar with the process. However, as you hopefully would have figured out, NetJets isn't an A to B airline. So I would think about the differences between the airlines and us. Safety is naturally our highest priority, but that's a given really. What do you think is important?
I do apologise for being vague, the recruiters want to see/hear your answers, not mine. ;)

I haven’t heard back yet, but I’m guessing they’re awfully busy sifting through a ton of applications, so patiently waiting for a green/red light.

On another note, I hear there are some online psychometric tests before the interview. Does anyone have advice on how we can best prepare for these, in order to demonstrate our top capacity with them?

Exciting times! Thank you

(edited to add the vital word “not” to my comment on psychometric tests 🤦‍♂️)

Pyschometrics are not designed to catch you out and preparing for them or second guessing what you think they want to see can usually be spotted. Just relax, grab a cup or tea / coffee and read the instructions carefully before beginning. Usually you need to provide your first reaction rather than deliberating for too long over the answers.

Generally we recruit motivated crews who are willing to adapt and learn and who are not put off by interacting with our owners. On a day to day basis, the actual flying is a small part of what we do. It’s managing all the services (potentially in airports that neither crew member has been to before). So your problem solving, workload management, teamwork etc that you want to demonstrate if you get to the face-to-face parts.

same here. Haven’t heard much except for resubmission of some of the documents and don’t know what to make of it. Really looking forward to work for them. Seems like a great place to be. I wish you good luck and hope you get it.

Any one for the 3 phase in Feb?

Send me PM
