Another Netjets Thread (Sorry)

[greed]

Ok I am not trying to start an argument or anything, but I am just curious about the current status of Netjet hiring. I am wondering if they are actually getting qualified people to apply seeing that people that meet their requirements could pick other fractionals? Also, do they even really need people at Netjets or are they currently staffed. Are they still taking new planes?

Thanks for the info, and good luck guys hope you get that new contract.

Dear Greed,

Why do you ask?

 

[Diesel]

Need 500 pilots this year. Hired 150 or so. 60 have left

I asked because I am working on my Capstone Project at Embry Riddle (trying to fininsh my masters) and we were recently discussing labor unions and employee loyalty. Don't really know about any recent aviation stories except for Comair so I thought Netjets may be a good topic.

We are now hiring < 2000 hrs. You'll have to judge whether time alone qualifies, but the hype says +2500. ooops, there goes the neighborhood.

I know that everybody hates my questions but I have to try.When you guys get your new contract do you think that everybody is going to try and get on.Wouldn't it be better to get on now and hope a strike doesn't happen?

I can fill you in briefly on that Comair pilot group back in 01' that went on strike....Quite possibly the most determined and unified group of pilots that you will ever see in this ho industry..

I can fill you in briefly on the current MEC at Netjets....Perhaps the most organized, proactive, concise, and focused Union leadership you will see in this industry.


Hypothetically combine the 01' Comair pilot group with the Current Strong Union slate and you have an indestructable, well-oiled machine that would assure this is indeed a profession going forward, not just a hobby!!

One can dream... STFD

Last tour my partner had flown with a newbe with 2000 hrs. Said he was a great kid. I still believe you will see real fo/fo's (<1000hrs) soon.

I agree X402, have flown with several newhires in the last six months. All good folks, wide diverse backgrounds, but the one underlying fact is they all had low time.

Psysicx, I think that is the mentality with a lot of newhires. Get on now and hope for the best. What does a low timer have to lose? I can't tell you how many regional guys I've had come up to me and ask if we are still hiring or how the contract is coming.

It is getting harder to attract seasoned aviation professionals to this place. There is only one direction for the company to go.
