How many in the pool?

[RNObased]

No idea.

Told in recurrent, no hiring for next year, yet also told we will have a net gain of well over 30 A/C next year. They must be those new UAV corporate jets.

I also had a guy waiting for a class told he will be given a February class date sometime soon after the holidays.

I guarantee their will be hiring. When? Sometime in the future.

First of all.... It is "there will be hiring"...

Secondly I would put a dinner on there not being a class in Feburary, unless there is a miracle in the economy and I won't hold my breath for that.

There is a CE750 initial class scheduled for Jan, 2009 at FSI in CMH. 6 or 8 was what I was told. That said, it's a lot easier for the company to have something and not need it (sim slots) than to need it and not have it. There was an initial class set for Dec too, and that obviously cancelled.

The only positive I see here is the fact this class has yet to be cancelled. Pure speculation, but if the powers that be were so sure these slots were not needed, I would think they would have given more notice to cancel them earlier. Then again, who knows what the cancellation policy is.

New equipment continues to show up though. N922QS was in the hangar two weeks ago with a whopping 18.5 hrs on the book. Looked like a new G200 as well. I remain cautiously optimistic, and wish all looking for new employment the best in the new year. The same goes for those hoping to remain employed.

Has Netjets delayed any aircraft deliveries that were scheduled for 2009? What is the latest on the Hawker deliveries?

Gulfstream 450/550 deliveries postponed until September at the earliest. Don't know about other fleets but my guess is older airframes will be parked until market conditions allow sell-off and the approximately 30 deliveries slated for delivery next year will be largely replacement aircraft and net fleet (and pilot) growth will be nil.

What about all the guys that were told they were hired, just waiting on a class date, meanwhile others interviewed after them and went on to class? And they are still waiting with no communication...

The simple answer is yes.

If I interviewed with a company, and hadn't heard anything about how it went for months I would send in a letter. That is rude in my opinion, and would not hurt you chances in getting hired.

To sit around waiting for months demonstrates a lack of desire in my eyes.


But what would I know...

Good luck to all trying to get hired at NJA. The job is everything you heard, and the best one I've ever had.

the last indoc class was hired in the middle of October

There are people hired as far back as April waiting for an indoc class. That is why I am wondering if anyone knows how many are in the pool. Apparently there is no rhyme or reason to the indoc selection process.

May interview, July verbally hired... waiting, waiting, waiting for a class date

Given your screen name, I can see why they're having second thoughts........

Seriously, hope you get a class soon. Keep the faith.
