    NetJets Medical

    The physical is after you are an employee of NJA and on the property. Whether or not you have a current medical is not relevant, you get another. The physical is a combination of a company and an FAA exam. New hires have been known to lose their medicals. Please don't attempt this if you...

    Cathay Interview

    I have a first interview scheduled and wondered if anyone has input. I have been to pprune, but am also looking for a perspective here. I was invited for the SO interview, based in Hong Kong.

    Kit Darby Supports NJA Management During Bargaining

    NJ management could bring Chuck Yeager in a birthday suit to SMO as far as I care. I know, and so does 83% of the pilot group, what we need to see in the next T.A. Bring it on.

    Astar Interviewing.. need info!

    Thanks for the responses. I'm very leary about being a FE for 5 years. For UPS or FedEx, sure, but Astar? Not sure. Is it that good? I guess what I want to hear is why someone would sit sideways for five years... unless it's worth it. Is it? What's the B plan like? How does that work? I...

    Astar Interviewing.. need info!

    got a call to interview. Any input? Is the upgrade to the right seat really 5-6 years? What's the future? Growth? Is flying over guarantee common? What are schedules like? 6-8 8-6, what is it? Mostly domestic or international? Sorry for so many questions.

    Upgrades at NetJets

    Last fall, after a TREMENDOUS effort by the pilot group that took around six months, two junior FOs upgraded on the hawker 400. Once that happened, around 200 FOs who were starving on FO pay, some for almost two years, began to receive captain's pay. Let me reiterate, that this was an...

    ? For Netjet crews

    We're something aren't, we? We take forever to get out of the blocks, when we land, we never know how much fuel we want, or if we are staying, or what: ("will advise") and until recently, we would return in the middle of the night after being ASAP'd.

    More 91K questions...

    10 hours is the limit for flight time. 14 hours is the limit for duty time, according to both the NJ FOM our current collective bargaining agreement. That being said, if BOTH the chief pilot and the crew agree, they can go over 14 hours of duty, as long as they don't exceed the 10 hours of...

    More 91K questions...

    Not sure if you asking about Netjets, but here is an answer. For 135 and 91K flights, we are limited to 10 hours in a 24 hour period (look back from rolling clock at planned completion of flight). For 91 flights we can go over 10 hours, only with mutual agreement of chief pilot and pilot.

    Nightlife in Columbus, OH?

    Not so fast Grasshopper. Might want to save the dollar bills you are planning on tucking away in g-strings for the long hot summer that awaits us all. Buyer beware, any new hire coming to NJ thinking they won't be baking under a picket in june (whether it's informational or the real deal) is...

    Flying and fun do not mix, heres proof

    1. You can fly at a 121 carrier for years and only fly an empty plane a half-dozen times. 2. "supercritical wing" + "have a little fun" = bad ju-ju. 3. The word I heard was one of the engines had "melted" before impact. We're still getting the info, but the whole thing stinks.

    Questions for NetJet Pilots

    Ok, Airbear.... Looks like you've talked yourself into the job. The official NJ Interview Prep is over. I'd go ahead and give Derinda a call because it sounds like you have all the answers. Good luck.

    NJ BE400 Bid... No Soup for YOU!!!

    Get used to being on FO pay. The beech 400 bid is going senior... 700-800s. WE TOLD YOU NOT TO COME. With luck maybe five or six years you will upgrade. Let this be a warning to all who are considering Netjets.

    Questions for NetJet Pilots

    Let me get this right: you are willing to leave a job making more money to come here and then try to work your days off to make a litte more money, but still less than what you are making at Mesa? You'll never upgrade here... so you will never make what you are making at Mesa now. We are in...

    Pinnacle upgrades

    If it seems too good to be true, it probably isn't. That's the case with Pinnacle. That being said, I'd go to CS. However, I have heard that if your recurrent training falls on your days off at CS, you still have to go. Also, I heard that CS pilots pay $10 bucks for crew food. Is that true?
