Is that limitation for the Phenom pax as well? :oh:

Good morning
Do you have details of the recruitment process? I heard about CUT-E. Do you know if you need to prepare all the exercises found on PILOTEST?
Thanks in advance

Once you sit in your seat, it is fine :E

I've seen in kura website that N. B military pilots are exempt of the 500h multi pilot requirement.

​​​​Anyone knows what N. B means?
I can assume that a fighter pilot obviously flies as single pilot, but is the first time I read something like N. B military pilot.

Regards

I see they have extended the open date for applications until the 19th. Any idea why this would be? Not enough applicants??

also how soon after closing date could one expect to hear from KURA regarding stage 2 ??

thanks in advance guys

NB. Is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase Nota bene, meaning ‘note well’.
The NB annotation is used to highlight an important point, more often used in academic and legal papers.

Thanks for the explanation.

All clear now.

Regards

Possibly, since legacy airlines are also looking for pilots with a more boring job, but a better package (salary, pension, ID travel etc.).

How many companies allow you to earn 12/14K net? ( I know it depends from country to country)

Once you are a captain, the well known legacy carriers do. Lufthansa, BA, Air Chance etc. Of course, and this may be the interesting part: you may spend a lot of years on the right seat, while you can expect a rather quick upgrade in biz aviation - knock on wood! Let's hope that the current situation for biz aviation will stay on for a while, or even improve.

that is my point. It will take forever to become cpt in a legacy.

Dunno about that, they also have a large gap when they stopped recruiting about 15 years ago and will have a pile of retirements in the next 10 years.

Correct, at the moment upgrades happen much quicker than before - if the market stays this positive. But even at Lufthansa you will wait your 10+ (rather 15 to 20) years before you will get a chance for the left seat. On the smaller spinoffs (Eurowings, Discover etc) it is going to be quicker.

At least the money and benefits will be much better at legacy carriers while you are a first officer and you won't have to be in a hurry to save money for your pension.

Deadline extension
 

NetJets seems to have extended the deadline till today for applications. Any idea why this happened? Did it happen before?

I received an invitation from KURA to do the first online interview with them. There wasn't much information in that email as to what the interview is about other than that I'd need to reply to two questions and complete one task.
Can anyone please enlighten me on what this is all about in a little more detail? Are those two questions about my motivation, personality etc. or is it technical stuff? And what is the task to be completed? Is it some kind of test or quizz?
How would you prepare for this interview?
All helpful replies are greatly appreciated!

There is nothing technical in the video interview that you are referring to, its just motivational questions and the task is scenario-based. I won't delve into what it is specifically, but nothing that isnt asked in an interview..

Yes it has happened before.

I got the same email. Did you got do it? what was it all about?

I might have overlooked it here (it's a really long thread!), but I'm missing some important information regarding social security etc.:
If I understood this correctly, NJE pilots have to pay a 25% tax on their salary in Portugal. The amount after that deduction might have to be taxed again (at least for the difference to that 25% which has been taxed in Portugal) in the country of residence of the individual pilot.
What about health insurance and retirement fund payments (=social security)? Does NJE offer a health insurance which is also valid during the off days when at home? Does the company have a plan for retirement fund payments?
Social security is a big chunk which in some countries takes away even more from a gross salary than the regular taxes do, depending on which country one lives in. When I read here that some first year F/Os have grossed over a 100000€ I'd be tempted to ask what the NET amount was after deduction of the country of residence's tax, social security payment and possibly additional health insurance?

This is actually quite concerning, so you leave your current airline job go to do the type rating with the Phenom 300 and you’re failed before you start.

so does the company fire you? Or do they put you on another fleet?

It’s important to know as imagine you get fired and now you’re unemployed. It becomes a big risk.

That could be very messy very quick.
