I’m not aware of anything so it’s just educated guess to take with a grain of salt.

Interviews still ongoing today, I expect an answer anytime between this eve and the end of the week after NJE review kura’s.

My guess is that they keep people on standby in case they don’t pass enough at this stage and do another round of interviews. they also mentioned (possible) extra sim/face2face dates (so phase 3) which I guess will depend on how many are successful during phase 3 on last week of October.

If the numbers I’ve seen are correct, they plan on hiring quite a lot of people, I wouldn’t be surprised another round is being planned for. From what I understood first courses are for december, but with notices and glitches It could totally keep going all of Q1 2022.

again purely speculative rumours

My interviewer told me that start dates will probably be offered until at least May when it comes job offers, so a successful applicant doesn't have to be rushed onto a course if someone has a notice period.

I am one of the old timers in NJE. European base,UK contract as everyone else who is not based in Lisbon. We get a NT code from HRMC, as our economic employer is in Lisbon. Then from the salary the company deduct the Portuguese non resident taxes. Portugal has double taxation agreement with most countries where we are gatewayed. In my case I do a tax declaration in Italy and pay the difference if there is any (normally not from the salary). Per Diem are 70 euros tax free. I suggest to not count per Diem as part of your salary, but as pocket money for when u are on tour. N.I. I still pay it in UK but the grandfather rights will finish soon and will need to choose where to pay it.

Good afternoon all,
have anyone who did the online interview with Kura received feedback on the result?
Thanks

Hi there,

does someone know if you can be homebased at Nice, France ?
Cheers.

Not in the new base list.

Email received for stage 3 btw

No, but u can play with the temp gateway systems. Lots of us do live in very weird places

E-mail received here as well for stage 3. However the booking applications shows "no times available" 2hrs after the invite came. Anyone else up with the same issue?

There were 48 slots avail for that week, guess they went locked up pretty quick.

The ones who couldn’t book probably will get offered another week, along with the ones who can’t attend that week for personal/professional reasons.

it also looked weird to me that so few slots were offered considering the amount of positions to be filled.

I also wonder if some will be offered interview (stage 2) dates in the upcoming future, as it would make sense based on raw numbers,

again, rumour and salt

edit : seems like some dates are being offered in November

Thanks for the info. Will have to wait and see what Kura says.

Thank you !

Could you give an example ?
Thanks a lot.

could you please clarify? in my Kura Zoom interview I was told that we're expected to move to within 1h of a gateway airport and can't just stay at a nearby hotel or something the day before or during standbies. I just want to know if there's any chance of me staying in the area I'm in if I get the job or not, because my offer on a house just got accepted and I would like to mentally prepare to potentially disappoint the sellers :hmm:

You need to live wthin 1hr of your gateway.
So you need to give an address that match this requirement.

If you want to spend all your OFF days in Bangkok, it's up to you.

I figured as much. Thanks! I'm not one for pushing the rules to their limits, so someone will end up disappointed when I get a response after stage 3, one way or the other!

Does anyone know where this rule comes from/what there reasoning behind it is and how strict the 1 hour is?
I can see why they want you near the airport on your duty days, but why wouldn't a hotel be good enough?
I'm currently about 1.20h from a gateway, so would this be okay or would I need to move closer?

As I recall it, the Buffalo Dash accident might kind of be the origin of it.
Commuting pilots planning it to tight with travels so the rest before a duty is not respected (nurtured....)

Maybe a NJ pilots can correct me on this, but I figure that NJ is protecting itself from EASA/local authorities by having something on record showing that they did their due diligence in ensuring that pilots are respecting FTLs when it comes to commuting. I get it tbh, even though that would be somewhat inconvenient to many pilots (including myself to a small extent). But it's not really the time to focus on that now. We first have to get through stage 3! NJ really looks like a fantastic place to work at. I'm trying very hard not to get too excited but failing to do so. I guess I need to apply that excess energy to prepping.

We have temporary gateway, like I live in Italy when it suits me (my official gateway) when it doesn't I move to Spain or the Netherlands using temporary gateway. You just need to send an email 3 days before starting or finishing your tour. Sometimes I start somewhere, finishing somewhere else. U can use it also to go on holidays. Our commuting time is FD btw.

In 14 years I never started a tour with someone tired....maybe bored from too many days off, but not tired 😁
