6 months and counting...

6 months almost to the day.

6 months?

Three years ago our company would call the next day offering the job. Now I have heard that it takes up to three weeks. But 6 months? It sounds like you may have fallen though the cracks. I would call, or fire off a nice email to see what's going on. I have heard guys getting the job and then waiting several months for a plane they want, but they were offered the job first. So, as I said, try contacting them.

Or if you know someone at the company, ask them to contact HR first, if you are uncomfortable.

 

[shroomwell]

Maybe the letter was sent to the wrong address.

 

[JettBoii]

7 months.

 

[reepicheep]

No internal rec? I figure that's the main reason I'm still waiting.

 

[av8tor4239]

are you waiting for an interview or for a job offer.. if you are waiting for an interview it could be even longer.. if you are waiting for a job offer.. you probably did not get the job and the letter got lost in the mail

Nothing personal, but I would say this is the reason:

A320, 767,757,737,DC9,EMB110,SD360

You retired?

Still waiting

6 months and counting...

7 Months...1 internal recommendation, 4000 total, tons of 121 PIC, Check Airman, etc.

Derinda has updated my resume for me personally, so I know I haven't "fallen through the cracks". I can only guess I'm just not what they want at this very moment and I'll have to wait.

It is hard to stomach it, though, when I hear guys on here with similar quailifications get called weeks after applying.

I won't stop trying, though. NetJets is where I want to be!

You retired?

AC11, C152, C172, C177, C182, C210, C340, CE680, P28A, P28B, P28R, PA31, PA34, BE10, BE36, BE58, BE76, BE9L, B350, LR31, LR45

I guess you aren't? :nuts:

If he is/isn't... who cares!

I personally LOVE flying with the retired guys. TONS of stories and I don't even care if they're true!

 

[reepicheep]

To clarify - waiting for an interview call.

Not retired, not even 50. From what I've read and heard, the anti-airline bias that permeates so much of Part 91/135 flying doesn't exist at NetJets. Perhaps I'm wrong, maybe they're looking more for people with corporate/charter experience?

HECK NO! There are PLENTY ex-121 guys here. Like me.

What really matters is, how are your stories man!! Do you have good ones!

Seriously, all types are hired here. Every category.

Each background brings certain strengths and weaknesses to NetJets. It's up to the training dept to smooth those weaknesses out.

You'd probably be the only one.

It's not an anti-121 thing. It's an anti-retired 121 thing. The company, training department, recruiting, and pilot group aren't too fond of this type. Again, nothing personal but your predecessors did a pretty good job of giving the rest of your type a bad name. I was told by the training department that some 75% of retired 121 guys "just weren't working out".

Don't shoot the messenger.

 

[bluepost]

I love the retired airline guys....sure theres a couple that have a couple issues...but there are plenty of "young" guys that are flat out pricks and have worse "at xyz we did it this way" attitudes then the retired guys.

They have character....guys that post like you....don't.

The guy asked why it was taking so long.

I pointed out his possible 121 retirement status.

I relayed what has been said on the line, at Bridgeway, and at Easton.

There are other things that I left out because I didn't want to completely destroy his hope.

Now, how does relaying what I have been told by 1) our IOE captains 2) FSI personnel and 3) our own Easton folks have anything to do with my character?

 

[Freight Dog]

The probable reason he's not getting called is because damn near every RJ pilot with 2500 hours has applied for a job at NJA. Let alone the pilots from recently shut down airlines...

 

[reepicheep]

I suspect Freight Dog is on the right track. I think a 4000 hr. RJ captain probably gets the interview nod ahead of a 15,000 hour pilot with 12k in the right seat of Boeings.

 

[sycamore]

I just think its a volume thing with the apps. After the TA they recieved thousands of them. Now there just trying to sort them out. I've been waiting for 7 months, I have about 5,000, 1 internal rec, rj capt. Does anyone know if theres a certain day they send out interview invites?
