Interesting. Does it default to one hour or are pilots meant to report it? I guess with airline flying duty time was never an issue, only flight duty time.

Edit: shortening quote to make question more relevant

The one hour rule comes from the standby requirements : if you are on home standby and you are called out you have 45 mins from the phone call to prep and leave the house and then 1 hour drive to the airport ie 1hr45 mins total. Exactly where on the airport you have to get to isn’t clear …..car park, checkin desk, FBO ?? However, in 14 years I have never once been called with minimum 1h.45. If you live 1.20 away then I wouldn’t sweat it too much.

This is straight out of the omA. With relation to Gateways they are only active on first day during and last day of tour. Outside of them days you can do what you like. Now how you sweet talk Netjets is your decision. Friend family crappy shoebox or something will do if you need to say you live near your gateway. Generally they are quiet flexible, but living in Plymouth and using heathrow might not help your cause.

Has anyone gotten to know more precisely when the first induction course would start? And how would you guys prepare for the stage 3?

Also, about the gateway system and temporary gateways, is it fair to say that something like this scenario might work: Homebase CPH, temporary base in ARN during the winter (120 days) and south of spain during the summer? That would equal to all my time (basically) being out of CPH as long as vacation etc is calculated in? Or would that be pushing it with NJE?

Recieved PFO this afternoon.

At what stage did you get?

After the psychometric assessment.

Anyone with no prior corporate experience moved to the next interview stage recently?

Yes I have

yes ,but could get better. Once you are in I am sure someone will tell you how to maximize your 120 days to perfection 😃

Hi Everyone!
First thank you for those who kindly post information about the selection process over here, it has been very useful for me.
I can confirm that the online tests are CUT-e, and can be worked on pilotest.com

I just booked for the Zoom interview on Monday. Any-one knows what to expect from this meeting? Any specific questions?

Typical competency based questions (Tell me about a time when...)​ with minor twists. Review STAR method of answering questions and how to demonstrate pilot competencies as you do that (communication, leadership, technical and pocedural knowledge, *customer service*, etc).

Usual opening questions you might expect from the interview as well as questions about your understanding of the role itself.

Make sure to have all your docs with for verification.​​​​​​

For NJ pilots, I have another random question: What is the grooming policy around beards? My previous company allowed beards as long as you were well groomed and you didn't allow it to grow too long.

No big issues there, as long as you look well groomed.

Thank you for the answer!!

I didn't know the STAR method, I will have a read about it today!

Hi everyone!

I come from a low-cost airline flying background so apart from the odd passenger announcement we didn't really get involved with pax. So, apart from loading the owners luggage, what else would one do daily at NetJets that is different from typical airline operations? Furthermore, apart from greeting the owner and saying goodbye; in what ways are the pilots involved in providing great customer service?

Thank you in advance!

Great customer service, let's see.
Pilots brief the Owners about the safety aspects of the aircraft, eg doors etc. introduce themselves and their colleagues, Inform them of the length of flight, any bumps or weather issues, check their onward transport details, tell them about the wifi.
If on an unattended fleet, show where the food and drinks are, and if time before departure, make a coffee/serve the champagne etc. If attended, introduce our ISR/CC.
If unattended, at FL100 or above, close the sonic curtain (if you have one), check the Owner is ok, Some Owners are very chatty, others, not so much... Cabin temp ok, wifi working, etc On Descent, inform how long to run, weather at destination and transport details.
Also before FL100, open the sonic curtain, tidy up the cabin in preparation for landing, stow loose items, confirm if the transport is in place etc.

Post flight, one will usually go with the Owners to their cars/FBO. Ensure all is well. Grab the paper work/fresh wx & Notams. The other will sweep the cabin for phones, wallets etc.

Then we tidy up the cabin, check the plan for the day hasn't changed. Arrange fuel, toilet service, restock and vacuum the carpets, clean every thing, check the ipads are charged etc.
Grab some food, plan for the next flight.

That's really insightful! I appreciate it :) Thank you redsnail !

You mean, just like in the airlines :)

can anyone shed some light as to what the online interview actually entailed? The FAQ seemed a bit unclear as to what is asked during the online interview and what is asked during the panel face to face.
