NatJet and Skywest
Anyone any idea how to get my name to the top of the pile.
Meet all the minimums but still no response. Done the www applications. Should I go out there and knock on the door? Or who do I call? |
I'd like an answer to that Q too.
Any info much appreciated. Thanks very much.:ok: |
Try ringing the companies and asking for whoever looks after pilot recruitment. I was in the same position as you guys and it worked for me with one of them.

Done the www applications. Try ringing the companies and asking for whoever looks after pilot recruitment. Check your web application. Make sure it is up-to-date. Send a CV and cover letter to the General Manager Flight Operations. Ring up and politely ask the status of your application. |
If you have the required time and been around for a while you should get a slot they have not been very picky.:ok:
|
cheers guys. ill give those avenues a shot!
imagine if i had a choice! who's the best to work for? whos future is most secure? where is the best atmosphere and people? who pays the most and has the best scope for improvement? |
National Jet is pretty secure, and they are looking at expansions (apparantly) and growing a few more in the fleet, they also have quite a few bases (more than Skywest I belive), every pilot I have met from NJ has been very happy (tired sometimes, but who isnt on some days)
Pay- No Idea Skywest, is also a good environment to work in (but I dont know that first or even second hand, it was third hand news)... I dont know much about Skywest |
NJS

Did you hear otherwise?
I herd they were expanding their fleet, and have been looked at for a few big contracts... I take it from that, it either didnt happen, or was incorrect |

are you on drugs mate.NJS loosing contracts by the day .....i wonder if they will be around in 2 yrs. Aircraft coming off lease being sent back ....guys leaving in droves ....mmm yup very secure ! The guys that are staying yes they are tired cause they are working hard ....management never saw the light when all the guys walked out the door. Carma is great ! |
:eek::eek::eek::eek:
Are you serious? Holy Sh*t!!!! I thought there was talk of them being offered some big mining contract about a month back and it was in negotiations or something.... :eek::eek: ....sh*t.... |
(and No... I dont do drugs....)
|
Know a guy that was with NJ for three months then to Skywest so that says it all.
|
Skywest...
I retract my last comment...and replace it with...How is Skywest to work for? Good QOL, Pay, Benifits, Contract?
|
These 2 companies are like chalk and cheese at the moment.
NJS- Loosing contracts, high staff turnover, unhappy pilots, poor pay and conditions, get bonded for 5 years, salary sacrafice part of endorsement, aircraft numbers decreasing etc etc. Skywest- Getting more and more contracts (many off NJS), low staff turnover, hiring more crew (some from NJS, Alliance and others that are jumping ship), pay not bad (due for review shortly), one of the best CA's around at the moment, no bond, more aircraft arriving, continuing expansion plans, etc etc. I know which one I would rather apply for! |
IF I was looking for a guernsey on a jet I'd be looking at the fokker mob before the B717.
Been around for so long in the West it doesn't matter - apart from 1 hiccup several years ago, they're sound and secure. Very low turn over rate among staff - and if there was any one thing to help make up your mind - that surely would have to be it. Low turn over should equal happy staff. |
It was said in the past that someone had to die before a job was offered at Skywest.:E
|
... get bonded for 5 years, salary sacrafice part of endorsement ... |
don't forget to apply to virgin blue as well. i'm assuming you are wanting a perth basing and they need pilots for their new base.
all the best:). |
NJ takes a bashing!
looks like skywest and vblue for perth. thanks blokes |
