There were 6 new CE750 SICs at FSI CMH last week just starting initial. There were two other new hire classes as well-Ultra and Excell I believe. Biggest reason we aren't hiring faster is the limited seats for training initial classes.

There are three reasons to even mention the word furlough today.

1. It's true. (Not at NJA at this time)

2. It's funny in the eyes of the poster. (Not anywhere these days)

3. It's wishfull thinking. (From one who is miserable where they are and feel everyone should be as miserable. Possibly one who was ignored or turned down by the company in question)

No, Netjets is not furloughing, and those candidates interested in employment will need to be patient and persistant. Remember, lots of other companies are furloughing, so in addition to our training slot problem, there are lots more applicants to process.

lol thats funny...

to educate you, it is because we can't have guys sitting around for 5 months waiting on a sim. More sims = more hiriing.

we have planes sitting with no crews because they can't get them trained fast enough.

I understand how hard it is to see sarcasm in someones post.

maybe you should be replying to the dumb&ss that started the post.

I was told by someone at Bridgeway that were not giving any Furloughed Legacy guys Pref treatment. In her words we got burned by hiring too many Old Legacy pilots that think they can still act like they are captains in there old 121 job and not take care of our owners.

I don't know about you guys but I'm sick and tired of airlining to or from work and having some airline crew stop me and tell me that we "Netjets" are there backup plan if they get furloughed. this is usually followed by being asked if we have to act like FA and serve them there meals and drinks.

Tell them "Yes." Then tell them you have to empty the lav into a plastic trash bag, and bow to the passengers as they arrive. The toughest part is cleaning up all the rose petals we scatter up the stairs and down the aisle...

Don't forget to mention that they will no longer be able to read USA Today on every leg...

That's funny!:laugh: :beer:

Actually though, a little understanding may be in order. These guys have typically had THE job that people used to aspire to. And if they're still their, they're probably still making a pretty good living. Unless you were at the bottom of the seniority list, would you leave a really good job, even for a decent fractional? It only makes sense that another job is their BACKUP job.

Working for NJA, I could honestly say that any other job I was considering right now (inside or outside of aviation) is my backup choice.

No reason to jump on someone for their wording of where a certain job falls in their own personal priority list.

Besides, if they aren't putting in an application right now, it'll be a LOOOOOONG time before they have any shot at their backup job.

From your profile, it looks like you were at Indy Air. Seems NetJets was your backup plan.

Not to mention the "bubbles" portion of his screen name.

I am pretty sure the "word on the street" is wrong. Of course I could be wrong, but they just started an average sized class on the 7th, I have a couple buddies waiting for a class date and a couple more with interviews scheduled. That doesn't exactly scream slow down.

Fact is, we are actually on pace to hire more than last year.

 

[lookin4better]

your right dad,

I know of a few people who have phone interviews or requests to schedule one.....there may be a back up in training/ sim slots.....but there is not a stop or slow due to economy/ fuel......still waiting lists and people wanting to be NJA owners.

I flew some kids to summer camp recently....i'd imagine mom and dad would fly them commercailly if they were pinching pennies....

People with larger amounts of money weather economic slowdowns drasticly different then airline passengers.....simple fact.

The hiring continues!

 

[brokeflyer]

I was there today and they had 2 classes of 15 each running with new hires....

so id say the hiring continues......

 

[Flyingdude]

I just finished indoc today, therefore I will give the most current info which came straight from the Easton. We had 17 in my July 7th class, another class of 8 starts monday, and 2 classes start at the same time in August (don't know the class dates for August though). One of the Flight Safety guys doing interviews sat in on some of the indoc and indicated they have had no slow down what so ever in the interviewing process. They are just a little back up for training slots right now.

They just aren't sure where to put some of the recently hired (concerning class dates) because of the training back up. They are just about to start planning for 2009 with no plans of slowing down.

This is all info that came straight from NJ instructors, managers, and Flight Safety people.

furloughs are coming

I got my furlough notice this afternoon in SNA from my CA. He told me to go home and get that resume fired up immediately. Funny thing is, I got my brief this evening for a 6 AM show. Do i go, or should i tell management too go pound sand

Thank you, thank you, thank you Flying Dude. This is the BEST INFORMATION POSTED ON THIS FORUM regarding hiring/classes in a LONG time, and from a NJ new hire! Who would've guessed? I hope to be in the August class. Fingers crossed, I'll find out next week.

Planes a sittin' (them and us) reasons

lol thats funny...

We have planes sitting with no crews because FSI can't support our training requirements. Plus the fact this is our slow season. Enjoy the summer!!

The aviation industry coin:

Head (positive) side of the coin; we have planes a sittin' because we can't train new hires quick enough is true. Tail (negative) side of same coin; more then countless 121 carriers parking planes and they have the crews to fly them and their crews.

Sure don't mind some depressed NJA wannabe saying we are about to put pilots on the street.

Remember, jealousy thrives in the American heart.
