[hydrarkt]

Just curious about something Hydrarkt.....is it easier to float a dog to the cabin ceiling in the U-Boat, XL or the X????

LOL.. It seems my identity doth come forth....
I'd say it's MUCH easier to float a puppy to the ceiling in a UBoat!! Especially when it's the size of a cat!!

Gator,

No problema and thanks for all your help and efforts. Don't worry, I won't give up until we do have that cerveza at Sirens. NJA has not heard the last of me! Until then, you and Archie have one for me.
Good Luck Archie and have fun at .92 for me!!!!:beer:

You married guys can have Sirens. That place sucks.

Sure beats Pahokee though.....

 

[Gator1999]

Well anything is better than Pahokee...even Cafe Risque on I75!

Spearmint Rhino in Vegas and Pure Platnium in Miami have my vote for the best after hours entertainment.

Cafe Risque "we dare to bare". I've been in there, for the love of god put your clothes back on. They even offered me a too go cup.

Pahokee ugh

Anybody been to the landing strip in pbi. Probably the roughest strip club around.

Strip clubs are all of what you make it. When you're there at 2am drinking with the managers, strippers and they are still serving you.... thats a good time. Then going back for the after party at the hotel is even better.

All done on our 1 day off during FSI.

 

[Gator1999]

What up D?
Probably just as well that the Landing Strip burnt to the ground a few months ago. Its still a rubble of burnt nastiness...Talk to ya!

Isn't that the truth, since my divorce I haven't been to a strip club. Might as well spend my time and money on chasing something that is attainable. Besides I think I'm allergic to all the silicone in those places.

Congratulations, Archie! I'm very glad that you got the offer and I hope you enjoy the job. The X sure is fast, from my perspective in the U-boat fleet...

Welcome aboard and feel free to PM if you have any questions that I might be able to help with.

 

[Heavy Set]

Great job with getting the X. Enjoy watching the rest of us down below as you zoooom by...

Got the call today for a May 8th indoc class at NetJets. I got my first and only choice for domicile (LAX), along with the Citation X (the only aircraft offered).

The type rating course in the Citation X starts on June 1st. I was surprised to see that the course is only 19 days long...that is of course until I noticed that we only have one day off during that period!! Yikes!!

Getting ready for the firehose method of learning again!

Arch

Congrats Archie,
Here is what to expect.
* 2 weeks indoc and a thorough medical. ( this 2 weeks is stress free).
* 3 weeks training...yes firehose method. It is good training but with 5-7 weeks off after training you will forget most of it.
* 4 days of more training after 5 week vacation. (2 days of ground school, 1 day of preflight, 1 day of flying).
* back to vacation while waiting for IOE.

It looks like you are coming from an airline background, prepare yourself to see lots of waste. It is scarey.
I am also LAX based on the X.

Do you get a break between Indoc and start of a/c training?

Sea and Surf,

Thanks for the info. Derinda told our group of interviewees that the company medical is history in May. She said that all we had to bring to class was a current 1st Class Medical.

Looks like I'll have an approximate 2 week break between indoc and the Citation X type course....after that, who knows how long of a break we will have? NJA has already emailed me the Citation X SOP, the pre-course study guide, and the flight maneuvers manual. The only thing I can't find is a normal checklist (before start/taxi/etc)....or does the X use an electronic one? At any rate, I hope to be somewhat boned up on systems and procedures before I arrive.

Sorry to bug you with questions, but where do you park at LAX?

Archie
