NetJets recruitment 2022
 

Posted today on NJE and Kura LinkedIn...August 16 is the start of new round of pilot recruitment....

Good luck to all!

Hi,

- With the salary numbers mentioned above, those where from a couple of years ago. Is it true that they are adjusted for inflation?
- for the present selection, does someone know what kind of simulator they use? 737, private jet,.. what is the profile they expect you to fly?
thanks in advance,
A

Correct, those who have been the company for the last year would've had a 10.21% rise in basic. Because the latest round of recruitment identifies a 2 year rise basic to 80K implies that anyone know joins will have their inflation-corrected basic pay backdated to 2018. But you'll still come in the first year at 58.5. I grossed around 120K with added days etc in year 1.

Sims were using a Hawker 800, might've changed to a different jet. Certainly wont be a boeing or airbus. raw data, take off/landing, non-normal notec skills for an event. They used to pair you with a NJ captain, to assist and be your 'first officer' - not sure if thats still the case. No tricks in the sim. You'd be briefed on the basics of flying that type prior to the sim.

Good information! Thanks for that!
Any idea on how much extra work you did to get to that number? Just so we have an indication on how the 'overtime' stuff is calculated.
Thanks!

Hi guys, do anyone know what sim was used the last assessment?

It’s likely to be whichever one is available on the day. The instructors will likely not be rated on whatever it is so you won’t be able to impress them with your knowledge of limitations / memory items etc.

It’s a relatively low key event so don’t sweat it.

Hello all,

Does anyone know when Kura/NJs will be next hiring? I seem to remember something about September and from LinkedIn it was Mid August last year so maybe same this year….

there should be a lot of aircraft arriving Phenoms and Praetor’s so hopefully a need for lots of Pilots.

just curious if there has been any chatter

Good question.
Note - so far we're not down to get the Praetors yet. That's for NJA.
More of us are going part time and the retirements are happening so there should be something happening, just no idea when.
There's a few upgrade sessions going on so that's a good sign.

Just chatted to one of the pilots involved in recruitment. He said that there's no current plans to do any Kura type interviews in the near future, only those who have completed Stage 1&2 will be invited.

As long as you are following Kura and NJE on LinkedIn then you shouldn't miss the next window. It only seems to open for 1 week at a time so get on it quick next time it opens.

I saw that PPJN has updated with a post saying they have the FOs for summer 24, any truth in this? Clearly I’ll keep and an eye for LinkedIn etc but alot is heard in the cabin FM ;)

All the successful candidates on this last recruitment will be offered positions starting from January ‘24, just in time to be ready for the summer. So I believe it might be true..

I heard we are now switching to building a pool

During the stage 3 we were told starting dates from September 2023. Then when we got the positive call the starting date will be from January 2024. I can't remember the word "pool" but it seems the economic and the sim availabilities are the main reason for this change.

At stage 3 they said that from now on they will pull from the Kura pool of successful candidates. So if you applied and got invited to do stage one, you are in. As I understand, they will not open up the process to people not part of this group any time soon.

Deliveries of new aircraft are slowing down. Still a steady stream of pilots expected to retire but not enough to keep the crazy growth from the last two years.
On my fleet we even seem a bit overcrewed at times.

Based on the slowdown in recruitment and the messages posted here, would this pilotjobsnetwork estimate still be accurate?
"Time to command reduced as market expands, anywhere from 2+ years but realistically 4 years."

It might be correct, because we are expecting a lot of retirements within the next 5 years, or so. It seems the company is taking this into account already - at the moment we are already upgrading pilots who joined less than 4 years ago.

But as usual: nothing is steady in aviation. More important than a command, NetJets is a nice place to work at, in my opinion. Good and stable roster, nice colleagues, no FTL-tricks, no company ordered training or travelling on OFF-days, attractive bonus.

Manchester Gateway?
 

Hi all! Anyone on here is employed already for a while having Manchester as gateway? Or also someone having friends or close colleagues based there? I should hopefully be starting soon and just got couple of questions regarding MAN gateway and would really appreciate if you’d drop me a PM.
Thanks in advance :)

me! DM sent

Have there been any significant pay rises in the last few months at NJE or is pilotjobsnetwork reliable? Will recruitment open again soon?
