NJE
ROBO, if you knew the facts you would agree they tally.....OCT. 20th Indoc......female fron the Dutch Antilles 1500hrs TT turboprop 500hrs ATR 42.........ex RAF chopper pilot 3000 rotary wing and 500 hrs. C-172........4 ex crossair 1700 hrs more than happy to work a 18hr. duty day....those a but a few of the FACTS....I'm glad you are happy to interact with the people you fly with that's what CRM is all about or did you mean the owners is the back who would be very interested in your personal life history......pride in your quality of work provide is something every good servant should have....(what a load of crap)
Now on to LVL CHG, if you can get through the honeymoon mentality you have regarding this particular company you will, hopefully pick up on your own jaded view and before suggesting to a fellow pilot to get a career change you should maybe try getting a job first, then that might qualify you to comment, and recognize the difference between a whinge and the reality of working for NJE......
.85, you are a gentleman with forsight and experience and while my career progressed from airforce to airline, I didn't have to fly broken airplanes because the company told me so, hence the info in my original thread and the needed approval to make any decision on the line(with the concurrence of the fleet manager).......I would welcome a PM from yourself if I can help at all with any of your questions....... I know the guys who do the sim checks

I have read your post 5 times and cannot understand what you are trying to say.
One point I have to highlight is your suggestion that NJE work 18 hour duty days. That is illegal and you are a fool if you allow yourself to get in that situation. I don't know about you but I carefully check my duty hours and I warn operations if I am getting close to the edge.
I will NOT break the law for anyone and you are letting yourself and the company down if you are stupid enough to fly when have exceeded your maximum duty.
P.S. Jammers I see from a post dated 5 June 2003 you said:
"What do they pay their Captain's at Netjets and are they married to their pager???"
I know you're an employee but why do you want to stir it up in such a public way? If you don't like it in the kitchen either change it or get out.

"Its seems things are moving rather fast over the last two months"
With all your new job offers on the table for you, then why, oh why would you want to pay for your type rating, which is what you said on other posts-****!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All up and coming F/O's be warned dont fall into the same trap as young M.85
A fool and his money are soon parted, and everybody is somebodies fool!
I wish you luck in the job hunting, I hope you get to fly with a good bunch of guys that can give you guidance cos you need it!

Dear RIDE ON,
Thanks for letting me know what i need,but my friend,calm down and think...
You may have seen that i bought a type rating,but it was merely one of the CAA requirements to get my JAA ATPL initial issue from my FAA ATPL.
If you feel better ,im not looking to buy another one for many reasons...
Hope you get yourseld a comfy couch and a ciggi to relax.

This post seems to have gone a bit quiet....
Has anyone had any success (or failure!) ?
Did everyone that attended Gatwick, get an answer back ?
How was the sim for those that attended ?

Dear John from Portugal
Hi M.85,
Received a letter from Portugal, it arrived this morning. Guessed it was coming, as, I didn't get a phone call last night. All very polite and upbeat, but no sim ride!
For the (off the) record. I have 3000 hours, included are 1500 jet hours, and am rated on one of NJ's aircraft types. We operate to similar destinations and undetake a similar operating scenario, e.g. meet and greet, sweeping, catering, baggage loading, washing up and, of course, fly an airplane.
The but is. I've only been in aviation a few years, and I'm over 50. I am not looking to retire at 60, want to continue for as long as I can, as I'm still V.keen. Think I might start a thread on employment for the over 50's with low hours/experience.
Best of luck M.85, I'm off to dust down some c.v's!

Dear Leerpit,
I am sorry to hear that.What a waste indeed.
I also wonder what they are looking for..If they decided to interview you I dont see why the age would matter???
They asked me how old i was in the middle of the interview(28),why??cant they do the maths off the cv?
The problem is that Mr Matthew really made Netjets sound great and I would be quite disappointed not to get the sim.
I didnt get a call on Friday either..my letter must be in the mail I guess.Oh well...maybe it wasnt meant to be.
I really hope you you get a position soon and enjoy the last 10 years of your career.
It really makes me mad!
Best Regards and safe flying in your future job.

Does Net Jets Europe require you to have the rights to work in the EU or would it be possible to just have the right to work in the UK? I understand you can live in the UK as long as you are near an international airport.
It will be a couple of years before I have the rights to work in the EU and I am not sure how long the wife wants to stay in the UK. I would really like to work for a company like Net Jets with the possibility to transfer to Net Jets U.S.
Any insight or suggestions would be great.

Dear Flat-tire,
I believe anyone who has the right to work in the UK has the right to work in all "shangen"(not sure of spelling),that is from portugal to sweden..excluding Switzerland of course.
Concerning the possibility to be transfered to NetJets US,I asked them during the interview as I love the USA.
Apparently,eventhough NJE is part of NJUS,the transfer wouldnt be that simple.As a European of course (like me)its not possible as the US Unions wouldnt approve it.If you are american it might be different.
In that case if you have eperience with NJE,it would be easy i think to get a job on the other side of the atlantique.
Hope that helps?
M.85
and most of their business isout of the UK at the moment,so id think it wouldnt be a problem if you like rain and fog
