NJ application question....

[JimmyKool]

Is it possible to fill this thing out on the computer or do you have to print it out and then mail it in? Its this great website and then some old school app process.

 

[JJDriver]

Some people know of programs that will let you fill it in. I filled it out by hand along with several other applicants. It doesn't matter as long as it's legible.

PDFill worked great for me. Worth the $20.

 

[JimmyKool]

thanks

Hopefully there will be an online application soon. I'm not sure of the timetable.

If you have Adobe Acrobat you can do it. Simply download the application and open it with acrobat. In the "tools" drop down menu select "typewriter."

The draw back is you have to repeat this everytime you move on to another section. A bit time consuming, but beats the heck out of a real typewriter.

Then Print it out. I tried to scan it to, but the some of the application did not scan well. It printed out very well though.

As someone who is doing "better than I deserve," here is a cheap route to a professional NJA app.

If you don't have full Acrobat but just Adobe Reader, go to the Adobe site and get the 45 day free trial version of Acrobat. Then you will have full use of the typewriter function to knock out a slick application.

You're on the Dave Ramsey band wagon, too?

Here's a tip:

Print out 2 copies of the app, and fill it in as neat as possible. You don't need Adobe to show your creds. Plenty of people get the call without typing the app. Even those with sloppy handwriting can get to the legible almost neat looking stage.

Here's another tip.

Typing is awesome. Why not give yourself every advantage?

has anyone ever walked in their app and resume? i live in columbus and can just pop in there and drop it off. good or bad idea?

 

[fischman]

The only problem in walking it in is that you will need a NJA ID to get through the security doors. Better mail it, or if you have a NJA buddy, ask them to walk it in.

Could not agree more. Plus, it looks more professional if you take the time and find a way to type it out. That being said, I have heard of people getting the call after handwritting the app.

Sounds like ya better go buy a typewriter or some software. The board certified psychiatrists conducting the interview will not like your customer service skills if you did not go out of your way to bring the Netjets App into the 1990's.

I hand filled mine and still got the call, but I also received "A"s in penmanship in grade skool, but not in spelling.

Anyone on their 2nd try ( re-apply after not making it ) but was told to re-apply in 6 months?

Did you email the application in after filling out with PDF fill?

What about the signatures?

Any other info from someone who is on their 2nd try ?

 

[PositiveRate]

If you have the full version of acrobat, you can use the 'button tool' and a scanned (clear background) gif of your signature. It's a pain, but it can be done.

Also with acrobat you can flatten your pdf after filling in all the information using text boxes.

Use, ctrl J to open the javascript window and then type in


this.flattenPages ();


Then press ctrl enter and it will be uneditable.

It sounds like PDF fill is a little easier from some of the other posts.

PDFill worked awesome!

I am hoping the 2nd time is a charm...

ok, I tried this. i downloaded it, but don't see typewriter under tools. the app is on my desktop. does that mean it's "downloaded?" can someone help out an old ba$tard with a step by step process please. Thanks!

google PDFill and buy it, 20$ ( ish ) and its WELL worth it! The end product is very nice. Hand writing the application also works, but if you want to type it PDFill is the way to go....it does everything you need to fill out the app.

 

[learflyer]

will do.

If you downloaded it with Adobe READER it won't work. You have to have adobe ACROBAT in order to use the typerwriter function.

If you don't have ACROBAT then PDFILL is your best option.

PDF application help

Is it possible to fill this thing out on the computer or do you have to print it out and then mail it in? Its this great website and then some old school app process.

I haven't posted here but a handfull of times. I'm a NetJets pilot and have been helping friends of mine type their applications. I've been charging $40 to convert their hand written app into a typed app that looks really sharp. It takes me about 5 hours of labor to get the app typed and mistake free. In fact, I email the finished PDF to them and help them make changes so that the app looks exactly as they want. PM me if I can help anyone.

That's some good old fashioned American entrepreneurship there, my man. Now having said that, I'll undercut you and do it for $35

Dang...capitalism! You're good! I'll go to $30. LMAO. Too funny.

 

[learflyer]

thanks guys, pdffill worked great! How did you guys fill in page 7? It's the flight time grid sheet that appears sideways. Did you just print and fill it in with pen? or is there a way to make it right side up?

 

[BeeFCaKe]

BUMP
For the guy that just asked this same question

 

[learflyer]

I just wound up filling in page 7 by hand.....the rest looks neat though....
