This question/inquiry may have already been brought up, but I'm not in the mood to do a search. I'd like to know what the competitive credentials is to get your resume noticed by HR. Went to the NetJet's website, and they want an ATP Multi-Engine. How important is that, because I've got an ATP-Single (don't ask me why--I have my reasons)? The same for flight time please. Also, does anyone know whom should I address my cover letter to?
Regards.

Why do you only have a SEL ATP?

Baja.

Now I should've known that someone on this website just couldn't resist not following directions. Shall this be a lesson learned to me for coming to flightinfo for serious inquiries?

Since you asked Baja, Part 121 ATP written expires at 24 months, unless you're currently employed with a 121 air carrier, in which case it's indefinite so long as you're still employed. Well, since I got sucked with SJS during my earlier career, "livin' the dream," the impressions of left seat was yearning. Well, now that I've been cured from SJS, I say to heck with waiting to upgrade at a regional and dealing with regional airline life, I need to pay the BILLS now. So, before making the move to send in my resignation, I spent a few days working on the ATP-SE checkride. It was quick and cheap (RJ FO pay couldn't cut the bill for the ME.) I wanted to lock in my written because it was a hassle to take initially and really had no desire to take it again. Time was not on my side. Got the certificate, sent in my resignation, now the rest is yet to come. Sure, I can dish out the $$ for the ME now that I quit for a better paying job flying a desk, but don't want to unless I really have to.

Just looking for other options in this crazy career now, and NetJet looks promising.

PS: haven't updated my aviatar, so those aren't my current creds
 
One thing that jumped out at me in your last post was you are currently working a desk job. Is that correct? One thing that has really become important to NJA is currency. Some guys with a tremendous amount of flight time but no currency have recently been turned away. If you aren't current or currently flying you may want to consider that playing into the equation. Best of luck to you.
 
Sounds like you wasted your cash on that SE ATP. Not too sure about the decision-making skills or ability to prioritize with that story. :rolleyes: Good luck with that.
 
Lucy,

If you've been flying a desk instead of an airplane for the past year, I'd say that your chances of landing an interview at NJA are somewhere between slim and none. Currency is a huge issue with the hiring folks at NJA. While it doesn't address currency as a stated requirement on the website, the NJA application asks for the preceding 12 month, and 6 month flight totals. If your logbook shows a goose egg for the last 12 months, and you still haven't received your ATP ME yet, they won't even send you an application.

Anyone that can not understand your story never made 13k a year working for the regionals. I bet you got that ATP single for about the price that it would have cost you to rent the twin for two hours. My only question is, where did you find a examiner that could do a ATP SE. I think it would be a cool add on, not many people have it! Of course this is going to be after I get my ATP AMES.
 
Bogart - Grow up and buy some friends. Or as the Ozzies say - Piss Off!!

Haja - (Always laughing at lame replies.)
 
No offense but you don't seem to have a very good attitude for fractional flying. Maybe I read you wrong but what I hear from your post is,"I don't have time to do any research so I'll just ask you here. I haven't flown in a year, I don't qualify for the job (ATP SEL (which begs asking WTF but you don't want to be bothered explaining...until your second post)), and I'm mad at the world for where I'm at. How do I get hired at NetJets?"

Well, I'd start by changing my attitude. You're at where you're at because of choices you made. If you choose to get back into flying then that too is a choice for you to make. On that front I'd make recent flight experience my first priority. CFI? Banner tower? Dive planes? Regional? (although I'd bet all of those will want recent experience too.) It might take either buying a cheap plane and then reselling it or if that's not an option then just renting. You're hours are pretty low compared to a heap of folks out there looking for jobs that also have been flying the last year.

Good luck, although I doubt I'll see you any time soon in the skies.
 
Ok, don't work there, but since nobody will take a stab, I'm guessing newhires are averaging 5000tt, 2000+ turbine, 200hrs+ in the last 6 mos., 1000+ turb PIC,

my 2 cent guess
 
Sent resume at 2515 TT, Got the app., Sent it in, Got the call to interview and got the job at 2700 TT, 1800 Turbine, 1900 Multi.


Send it in when you meet the mins and they will call.

Did you have the 250hrs instrument at 2500hrs? I'm well past 2500hrs and maybe I'm too conservative in counting my instrument time but I'm well short of that. And I'm in NY, it's not like I'm flying out of Phoenix! Thanks for any info...
 
Yes, I had it. You can count actual and simulated(hood) time towards the 250 total. No sim time can be counted towards the imc time.

Good luck

Of coures they'll call, they are desperate to find recruits that will be based out of where management says and who are willing to wait 5+ years for an upgrade. I would think that min qualifications would be a pulse. But, on the bright side, you do get free crew meals.

Dude are you that sad???? My job is better than yours?? Are you even a real pilot or just work at public relations at CS. The best thing about my company is I dont have to fly with tools like you. Have a nice day and good luck with gettin shares nominated as the top 10 best company to work for in the entire universe.
 
Hey Bogart...let's make this easy......How about you don't post anything negative towards NetJets until your company posts a profit???

Your way over qualified the way I see it. When I got hired at UAL, all yah needed was a hot air balloon checkout and 5 hours PIC in the ship itself. Went right to the 777 with that experience. And now after 911, the A-rabs are makin me work for a living.

And a fat a$$ with an attitude that thinks that they REALLY deserved it. Oh the arrogance of that airline...it kills me. It is ironic that they did their interviews on Martin Luther King Blvd.....imagine that.
