competitive at NJ

[aeropharoh]

what are the true hiring mins to be competitive at NJ? Of the majority of people being hired what are their backgrounds? How heavily do rec letters weigh internal and non-internal? also http://airlinepilotcentral.com/airlines/fractional/netjets.html
says NJ plans to hire 400 pilots, is that still accurate, and how many of those are being filled monthly. Final question how many are being interviewed monthly. Thanks in advance

I'm not sure about competitive hiring mins, but I've been given an April interview with a little over 4000tt and 130 jet pic. I don't have any internal recs. My background was airline then charter/corporate now.

I'm guessing closer to 220-240 this year. I just don't see the FSI slots available to do any more. So far the Jan/Feb numbers support this guess.

I think competitive is the minimums. This company doesn't hire pilots based on their flight times. We hire pilots who know how to handle our owners.

I was hired while guys from XXX 121 with four million hours of heavy, international, 16 engine sort of stuff were told no thanks. And I had 0.0 internal recs.

Good luck!

The "true hiring mins"- 4000tt, 1000+ jet (PIC or SIC) seem to be popular numbers.

Every now and then you see a CIVILIAN guy with not jet experience or right at 2500tt get the call, but that doesn't happen too often.

And NetJets is regretting that move every moment of every day.

I am going to go watch a movie in the airplane and eat my huge crew meal. The take a post lunch nap on the airplanes couch.

Thanks for all the info. How many/class and how many classes/mo. Glad to know the internal rec does not weigh to heavily. the NJ group has been somewhat elusive for me.

The minimums are listed on the web site.
However, if you want to get hired you better have customer service skills, the right attitude, and the ability to think on your feet. If you look like a deer in headlights, I think you will be hard pressed to get on with NJA. Rec letters will help get the interview but once you are in the door, you are on your own.

I was told 451 pilots for 2008 in recurrent a couple of months ago.imp:
