    Why hire military over your competition?

    Why hire military over your competition?

    I want to add 4. As an FO, take advantage of those years in the right seat and learn something from every a Captain you fly with. You can learn as much if not more from the bad ones! There's a lot of way " to skin a cat" as they say. Once you're in the left seat you'll be doing it your way...

    Why hire military over your competition?

    I have observed the civ vs mil cat fight on this and other forums for many years. Allow me to share my perspective on the issue based on my 44 years as a professional pilot. 1. Good luck and good timing are the most important factors in getting on with a major airline. I know many talented...

    Part 91 Mandatory Retirement

    NetJets, the largest fractional, has an excellent safety record. Perhaps the experience level of NetJets' many 60+ year olds is a positive safety factor. Flying fatigued, no matter what your age, is obviously a negative.

    is 40 to 45 too old to get hired at a major?

    I agree with Plane John but this thread started with a question by someone who wants to get on with a major. Putting the intrinsic value of a degree aside, it's just a fact that lack of a degree will make it or more likely that your resume/application will be placed on the do not interview pile...

    Recall at NETJETS??.

    I know of retired guys from AA, Delta, United, SWA and Alaska who were in initial ground or sim training with me in early 2007. There may be more than the five I know about. One of the guys took the early retirement offer when the furlough was announced. I intend to come back. I don't know...

    Nov 1st NJA? whats up???

    I flew the X for my three years at NetJets. Every captain I flew with was competent and I liked the vast majority of them just fine. I have a a hard time imagining any of those guys or girls I flew with during my time at netJets selling us out. I believe we will be recalled when management...

    NJ Recalls

    This thread has degenerated into a dumb argument about nothing. It's obvious that any furloughed pilot who would accept a recall to NJA must think that, given their particular circumstances, going back to NJA is their best option. Gut had to have known the answer to that question before he...

    NTSB info on SWA at LGA crash

    Based on a reported 11 kt tailwind below 1000' and a 11 knot headwind on the runway, the aircraft would have experienced a significant increase in ias and would go high on glide path at the point where wind shift occurred if it was a shear rather than a gradual change. If that's what happened...

    Wealth Effect Fuels 55% Surge in New NetJets Owners

    Thank you cavpilot. I am one of the 495 and made many good friends during my time at netjets. I was impressed by the job our union did while I was there. I'm actually optimistic about NJA and have confidence the NJASAP would never sell us down the river. I base that on the kind of top notch...

    Netjets IPAD's

    FAA ramp checks revealed that NJ pilots did not know how to update the IPADs, what the charging and other requirements were, how to access data, etc, etc.
