Competitive?

[barracuda]

I will be applying to netjets and citationshares as soon as I get my ATP certificate next weekend but am not sure how competitive I am. Can some of you with experiences there enlighten me a little.

I have (roughly) 3300TT, 1000 PIC turbine, 1500 Multi, and a SA227 type rating. No crew time.

I heard a lot of high time guys are trying to get on there and that's why I'm wondering. If that's true then I won't hold my breath and try to exercise other options.

Any helpful information is appreciated.

Do yourself a big favor. If you want a job, go to Citation Shares. If you want a Career, go to Netjets.
C/S has no Union and they have no protection. Working there is like playing Russian Roulette, sooner or later there going to get the big bang. Seriously, some of them know it, and the others have the koolaid and haven't come out of the closet yet to admit it.
Good luck.

Those flight times are easy to get at Ameriflight within 2 years.

I got an interview date 2 days after going to a job fair. Please PM me if you have any questions.

I say apply. With a rec you can definitely get an interview. If you don't have a rec I would still try. I know a couple guys that had less then those times.


Keep the faith

thanks guys.

To answer all your questions, it's all Beech 99 and Metro time and I was too young to get my ATP when I got typed. Which brings up another point. Is my age going to hurt me or help me if I interview? On the citation shares website they make a big deal about the "maturity" of their pilots. Are they looking for older guys?


Thanks again for the input.

That is a selling point for there future owners.(maturity).Means nothing< if you have the time you can get the job..look into both(nja<cs) to see what you want.(home basing,schedule,money,benefits,career advancement etc..)

good luck.

If you know your regs, you only need an ATP when flying part 135 in a turbojet. You can have a private pilot license and go get a type in a 747 if you want.
