You can change about once every 30 days at your discretion. And you can only have one Crew Base change pending at any given time.

What he said.

No more bidding into bases, waiting for openings, or having to swap with somebody in the same fleet/seat as you. You simply notify the company at least 30 days ahead of the change what base you want to use. Simple as that.

that sounds pretty simple, and very worker friendly, thanks for the info! blue skies-

How nice it is to read these posts!! Think back to answers that were given during the Domicile Debacle. (Term coined by GG)

My hats off to all those who were involved in IBB and my congratulations to the Union and the Company on the excellent progress made to date!

sorry to sound niave, i'm sure it's in these threads somewhere, but on the 18 day schedule, how are those 18 days usually split up? thanks in advance-

 

[netjetwife]

It depends on the preferences that you list, and those are awarded based on seniority. For the record, my husband kept his wish list short (better odds that way) and got what he wanted. The schedule is new so it make take awhile for reliable trends to be established.

i'm not sure what you mean by wish list? wish list for his type of schedule? do you bid a new schedule each month? what would a typical 18 day schedule might look like? thanks for the help!

On the 18-day schedule, yes, you bid each month for the schedule. You can request one or two blocks of days off you'd like, note whether you'd prefer shorter (<7 days) or longer tours at a time, whether you want your days off balanced or unbalanced (so you'd get a long block and several shorter blocks off), and which of the above preferences is most important if they can't do all of them.

By the 15th of this month the NJ pilots will know their schedule for March. Considering the process, I don't know if you can say there is a typical schedule, but if any of the pilots are likely to see one I'd think it would be the most junior on the schedule. If the company tries to keep airline costs to a minimum 3 tours of 6 days each would take care of that. This is the first month for the 18 day schedule to be used so I think we'll all have to wait and see if any typical patterns emerge.
Stay tuned....

NetJet Bases

Could anyone tell me where to find the 100 bases for nja. I looked on the company website with no luck. Thanks in advance

 

[imacdog]

You can find it on this site. Use the search function. "NJA 100 bases" to start.

 

[Jtodd]

My bad. I just found it. Thanks!

is there too many app's on file for guys to get an interview without an internal rec? anybody have any latest on current trends on who's getting picked for interviews? are guys with no internal's getting called?

 

[bmxandjets]

for the monthly schedule bid's, is the 7 on - 7 off the most junior, what about the 15 day flex, is that going senior?

also, when an FO upgrades to CAPT, do you keep your years with the company on the pay scale, or do you start back at year 1?

The 7/7 is the normal schedule. You'll likely get it if you want it, senior or junior. The 15-day has been going to the people who bid for it, generally. A very few people (I think 6) were junior-assigned that schedule, but the vast majority were the people who bid for it.

also, when an FO upgrades to CAPT, do you keep your years with the company on the pay scale, or do you start back at year 1?

You go by years with the company. (So if you're in your fifth year and upgrade to captain then, it's at fifth-year captain pay.)

 

[bmxandjets]

cool, thanks for the info!

 

[bmxandjets]

how does your guys' 401k work, are you vested from day one? or, do you have to be on property for a certain number of years before you get to keep the company match? thanks

 

[Duke of Ale]

After one yr, you are vested 0%. Then 20% ea additional yr. After yr 6 you are 100% vested

Greetings.. I submitted my app and it was accepted last Nov I think.. Anyway, I just received an email today to interview in Mar. So roughly 4 months or so from the time it was accepted and I have no internal recs. Take care.

 

[bmxandjets]
