Getting tough - Netjets screening?
 

Did I miss something ??

Just received a "No thanks" letter from Netjets, despite having 3000+ hrs , 1000+ hrs PIC Turboprop, 1000+ hrs Jet (CRJ200+B737) and VIP flying experience....

Anyone got called ??

I have 2500 hrs and fulfill the req's but NO ANSWER AT ALL!

I tried last time they advertised and got knocked back.

I have 10,000hrs+ commercial jet wide body no VIP and got turned down!

So who knows what is required. I guess you have to get past the the spotty youth with the crib sheet!

Check the latest Flight International for an interesting article...

Most recruited pilots have a military or airline background.

To ensure the customer friendliness they make the selection so that they only get people who wouldn't mind serving the Pax a drink!

Makes me wonder :Netjets only fliesplanes that require a two pilot crew, RIGHT ?

How does a military background result in customer friendliness? Bit confusing., isn´t it?

Being a (relatively) spotty yoof with no where near 10K hrs I can confirm that I also got told to get stuffed. At least I got an answer though.........

Whilst I’d agree a military background doesn’t necessarily result in customer friendliness, it certainly doesn’t preclude it.

In my own role as a truckie being responsive to the needs of the people we carried was fairly central – be that sweeping for a fastjet trail, delivering troops to a forward area or carrying aeromed teams with casualties. I like to think I spent a lot of time speaking to passengers to find out what they need and keeping them informed. Many former military pilots have a great deal to offer in terms of their flexibility and ability to meet the needs of the customer.

Besides, pouring the odd glass of bubbly or loading a bag isn’t that onerous task.

:D

If you've been in the military you're used to management who are all yes men and you're used to being extremely flexible - that's NetJets. I have NEVER served a drink in the air so that is not a player. You do have to clean the aircraft, though not if its really messy unless there is no professional cleaning service but that is standard for corporate. Hours count for nothing - except that with 10,000 airline you'll have no chance. No offence but with that level of AT experience you will not be flexible enough - trust me. The lack of acknowledgement is a standard problem in NetJets whether you are applying or in - its mainly down to the fact that every one is so busy.

its waste of time to apply netjet, they are bunchj of wa--kers.

Another half cocked, lower rate outfit. They are contributing to the downward spiral of the industries terms and conditions.:yuk:

P.S I have no interest in applying given the above.
