NetJets done for 2008

[Crandal]

Is it true that they are done hiring for 2008. I heard this from new hires that are there now.

 

[Pervis]

That's simply because of the 300 mile wide iron based asteroid that is due to impact CMH on July 3rd. Seriously though, no.

 

[brokeflyer]

about 3 billion in airplanes on order and at least a 2 yr wait list for owners.....

i dont think so.

 

[Crandal]

I mean only for this 2008. They told me that NetJets have enough people for 2008. They will continue to hire for 2009.

As long as it doesn't hit Richardson TX, I'm not worried.
Sure am gonna miss you guys, tho,,,,,,

I've tried to live by my Grand Father's advise. Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. He was born before aviation existed, so he would probably change the odds even more based upon the crap in this field today.

 

[HAZ-MAT]

I don't think so. I have had two friends that have been contacted for phone interviews this week. So recruiting is still seeking qualified applicants.

 

[JJDriver]

They are just about finished hiring for 2008. It's only because of the slots at Flight Safety. We were told that they will be growing to 5000 pilots, with the current indoc class at approx 2800.

 

[gutshotdraw]

On the VSL that last guy is at about 3150...

We were told that they will be growing to 5000 pilots, with the current indoc class at approx 2800.

That's an unusually large indoc class...wow.

 

[RP170]

That's an unusually large indoc class...wow.

Sad thing is is that they could easily find 2800 qualified guys for an indoc class with all the airline layoffs.

Who exactly are they? I am in Columbus every other week it seems and all I have heard is business as usual which is steady hiring and classes.

I smell Flame Bait.

"They" may have hired enough for all the classes remaining in 2008 there are a lot of guys waiting for classes in the "pool", but I find that even hard to believe.

Hey homeboy, don't you mean South Oak Cliff?

Well they could find 2800 guys. Let's leave it at that.

Everybody knows it takes from 6 months to a year to get on with NJA right now unless you've got some really good connections. So yes, if you apply today, you're likely to receive a "you're hired" call some time in 2009. NJA is popular, the line is long. Be patient. NJA is not stopping anything anytime soon. That's my bet.

[jpeace02]

not trying to flame. just wondering from someone who might know is it still 400 for the year and 400 next year?

 

[fly4funcrj]

It is 400-450 a year indefinitely for right now.

 

[FLYLOW22]

It's going to be 400-450 (maximum possible due to FSI slots) until the new training Campus (NJU) is finished and additional sims become available.

We have 2,800 pilots. We've had 2,800 pilots for some time now (2 years+ maybe).

The reason = NO MORE SIM TIME.

Sims are used for:

Interviews
Initials
Transitions
Upgrades
Rechecks
SIC STEP
PIC PCs
and filming for the History Channel.

They are full.

Bring on NJU and 26 sims!

We'll all see massive growth then... 2,800 to 5,000 will be possible.

They haven't broke ground yet on the campus.

 

[fly4ever]

2 years ago we had 2500 pilots - latest seniority list shows 2850. The number hired is significantly higher than 350 due to attrition (furloughees that went back to their airline - ouch!, retirements, medical issues etc...).

We continue to receive airplanes and have not cut back on deliveries yet. Our training program is backed up in various fleets because of maxing out training slots available with FSI as mentioned.

It is a great place to work so if you're serious about the job put your stuff in and keep it updated. You have to get in the pile to have a chance.

Still interviewing

I also know of two people with July phone interviews, prob August interviews in CMH with September indoc Class dates. October aircraft initial. They'll be on IOE by November. Yep sounds like they're just about done with 2008 hiring since December comes after November. Next year they'll be all done with 2009 hiring at some point. I will guarantee that in writing.
