How long to get and interview at NJA....

[Just Peachy]

A friend is trying to get on at NJA. He's a corporate pilot with a lot of experiance. I recommended him and just found out he will be getting an interview next month. His application was received at NJA in Sept.

Thats 4 months from the time he applied...to the interview only !!

This is posted just to let you future applicants know what the general time table is now.

Thanks for the update...I'm sure there are several guys (in addition to myself) on here waiting for the interview email to come and wondering how long it will take.

And expect just a little bit of slowdown with Christmas and New Year's.

Best of luck to all of you waiting for interviews and offers.

What fleet did they assign and what domicile are you going to use? Did you indicate that you'd accept more than one domicile?

Congrats on the job offer and Merry Christmas!

 

[Semore Butts]

Wow, middle of April?

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing? What fleet?

 

[greenj7]

I took the first Dallas slot offered. It is on the Ultra, thay Also offered the 400xp in may. Linda said that those are the only Dallas slots she had right now. Derinda said that they will offer your first choice city even if you have more listed (I listed them all)

 

[Guitar Guy]

Wow - that's interesting. I hadn't heard of Ultra new-hires for some time.

Enjoy the U-boat and the new job. Congrats again to you and a Merry Christmas.

Yes, the U-boat and the Encore.

If you have any questions that I might be able to help with, please feel free to PM me.

Hey guitar guy, are they going to keep you dual qualified or are they going to let one side laps? I was told they are for sure splitting Ultra and Encore. Just curious.

Hey guitar guy, are they going to keep you dual qualified or are they going to let one side laps? I was told they are for sure splitting Ultra and Encore. Just curious.

I'll keep the dual qual for a little while longer. The company officially split the fleet this past summer. However, they are keeping all of the pilots who were dual qualified (or doing so-called crossover flying) before the split qualified on both planes until the last of the original slots on the Encore are filled and those pilots are released from IOE. The response I got from the company was that they thought that crossover flying would cease in December, but that hasn't happened yet.

Once the crossover flying stops, the only pilots who will continue to be dual qual'ed will be check airmen, the OCARO/NRFO pilots and maybe a few of the management guys.

 

[doylehargraves]

what are the differences between the two?

 

[Twotter76]

Different engines, TCAS (not installed in Ultra), hot wing, trailing link gear in the Encore, different FMS, interior configuration, better brakes in the Encore and a few other minor items....
