NetJets response from resume

[Photoflight]

Just wondering if there is any sort of email confirmation or anything I should expect after sending in my resume....or should I just wait and hope i get an application in the mail?

Nope, when I put my resume in back in June I didn't hear anything from them until the application package showed up in the mail about a week later. If you have someone recommending you internally, he can probably find out for you if they received it. I overnighted my resume and my buddy over there called the recruiting office the next afternoon and they told him that my app was already in the mail- so if you have someone helping you from the inside you might be able to get the same kind of info.

How things have changed in two years, thanks to the Strong Union.

Aug '05 I applied via climbto350.com, two days later application arrives in mail, mid Sep '05 I get an email saying that they never got my app back and asked if I got the application and if not that they would send another one right away.

Sent them the app and got the interview and class date within one month.

Shouldn't be necessary to snail-mail a resume. As others have said, wait a little while and see if you get a large envelope from NetJets. If you don't see one in 3 or 4 weeks, try sending another electronic resume.

By the way, do you meet the minimums? I'm guessing that you do, but I'm just asking because I saw your post in Avantair where you stated having 2300 TT. That may be an old total for you, but I just thought I'd ask.

yup 2550TT, ATP, and all that other good stuff as well.

That avantair total was from when I sent my resume to them last fall.

 

[Guitar Guy]

That's what I thought was probably the case.

Hopefully you'll see an application package soon.

How strict are they on the instrument time. I am about 50 hours shy of the instrument total but i would like to apply there.

All NJA flight application minimums are set in stone due to contract, and insurance, requirements. Keep flying, and update your resume as soon as you meet the times needed. Good luck to you.

Check the contract

I HIGHLY recommend that anybody interested in coming to NJA go to the union website and read the contract. There are a couple of gotchas that are causing many of the newhires to leave. Especially the domiciles. The interviewers are going to tell you that the company is going to open up domiciles, the union is keeping them for opening domiciles (bs), HBA for everyone, etc... YOU WILL BE PUT INTO ONE OF THE 5 DOMICILES. TEB, DAL, LAX, PBI, CMH.

Don't get me wrong. I love working at NJA. I just want the facts out there.

What are you trying to say, it is stated on NJA website from the start about the 5 domiciles. As of the contract talking about it, the company can add any domiciles they want as long as they provide a 90 day notice. On top of all of this, I don't think the union would argue if the company approached them and told them they are giving everybody HBA's. Not likely to happen, but it is capable of happening.
Anyone going there now should know the chances that they might not add new domiciles. They may even keep the 5 domiciles throughout the next contract, most likely not going to happen but you just never know. Hey in the long run if the company decides not to add anymore domiciles is better news for everyone fighting it out. This would lead to more new hires leaving sooner, and the company would have a harder time hiring pilots. Eventually the company is in a spot that they will have to break and add more domiciles. The only thing that I truly think the company would be able to keep these 5 domiciles is to somehow get jumpseat privileges with most of the airlines.
I had enough for now i'm going back to my Mythbusters...
