Licence insurance? Not too sure - if you mean loss of licence, I think so. It was a while ago for me.
You won't need a uniform for training but you'll be issued with one during Indoc (most do Indoc before going to the sim).
Accomodation, salary, per diems all paid during training.

Loss of Licence is provided at a fairly basic level and you have the option to improve it by paying more. Uniform and accomodation is provided - genuinely I don't know where doesn't do those things that could consider themselves a reasonable employer.
Netjets is a perfectly fine company to work for, it won't make you love the job but the positives outweigh the negatives, which for the most part is better than the majority of other employers out there.

What's the main reason for the current delays in Indocs? I understand that new aircraft haven’t been delivered as expected. Do you have any updates on how many are expected to be delivered next year? I’ve read that Bombardier has mentioned that delivery issues are gradually improving — is that correct?

Additionally, could you provide some insight into pilot retirements? How many are retired on average each year?

Most of that has already been answered. How many are going to be delivered in a year is a very flexible number, it will depend on sales which depends very much on the wider financial world. If suddenly there’s a boom - you can expect that things will pick up, equally if there’s a popping of a bubble things will slow down.

Everyone is being super cautious, I imagine Netjets management are as well. Personally with no supporting information at all I reckon we will start recruiting again in Q2 ‘26 but in the typical airline way of doing it last minute when it has become critical.

I don't have the exact figure re retirements as I took early retirement in August. The boss said that he's expecting more in the coming years as folks hit 65. What's harder to quantify is the number of early retirements (from 60yo) and part time. Anecdotally, I'd say there's about 1 a month.
20 years ago there was a big hiring boom from 2004-2006/7. Most of us were around 35-40 years old.

From what I've heard/seen, the amount of "expected" retirements at the moment, which is based on hitting retirement age, will basically triple from 2028 onwards. This doesn't take into account anyone who has already left prior to their exit year, or those who take early retirement/medically retired, as mentioned above.
Approximately 4% of our pilots have left/retired this year to date.

Thank you for your replies! I'm just trying to figure out how long it will take for the last guys and gals who were selected last year to start their training, I guess the recruitment wont open before that.

Hello,
Is the Netjets application still going trought the Kura Portal?

That's who NetJets have used in the past. There appears to be no active recruitment at the moment. In the past, people have "followed" Kura on LinkedIn to get notified when it opens. Perhaps registering with Kura might help too.
Historically, the recruitment window only opens for about 2 -3 weeks at a time.
Good luck.

Hi, can anyone tell me how they prepared for the Netjets Europe assessment and the simulator? You can contact me privately if you'd like. Thanks, and I'm waiting for the application period to open! :ok:

You don’t meet to prepare for the sim. It will be whatever sim is available on the day and they couldn’t care less about limitations / memory items etc. probably you will need to fly some sort of raw data departure (nothing complex) and take some vectors.

Agreed, they’re looking for some basic flying ability, track a navaid, then another navaid and level off is all they’re looking for but much more important is your SA and how you handle something unexpected - remember DODAR and NITS and you’ll ace it.

I think I handed control to my sim partner (one of the two assessors) at one point - didn’t cause me any trouble and gave me some extra capacity 😜

I did that too!!

That's exactly what they want to see: a realistic self-assessment and proper management of resources in a team-environment. But - PLEASE - do not go "V1 - rotate - your controls" :)

What is actual situation in NetJets? Do they look for pilots

If you’re desperate and need a job quickly then you need to look elsewhere as we won’t be hiring any time soon as explained above. But if you can wait for your final job move then keep an eye out - it’s rare to regret joining

Regarding gateways and home basing, do you have to live in the same city that you picked as your gateway? Or do people live in say, a nearby town and commute to their gateway?

Yes, some people do do that. It can be very fatiguing if you need to wake up super early though. The plan changes often....

you want to be within 1 1/2 hr drive of your nominated gateway. With that being said you don’t HAVE to, but it can be an added stress. Plenty of folks manage it though.
