hypothetical scenario - NJA to NJI for NJA new hire

[ozpilot]

Wolf,

Thanks for the info. Welcome back! Are all the NJI guys rated on the 450 and V/550? I thought they were 2 different type ratings. I was at TEB today and saw a N4&&QS Gulfstream, but it had the GV style reversers. Is that a 450?

A 450 has the painted thrust reveresers.

I'm not mad, I'm proud of you. You took your first pinch like a man and you learn two great things in your life. Look at me, never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.

Oz,

There are about 250 pilots at NJI flying only the G-IVSP/400. There are about 55 pilots flying the G-V which is a different type rating. Those same 55 pilots also fly the G-550 and G-450 which is the same type as the G-V but requires differences training for the avionics (which also apply to the G-350 which NJI does not operate). Clear as mud?

Clear as mud?

Yeah.... what he said!

I'm an FO on the GV/550/450. I did a year in the IV and elected to go to the other plane"s" for a 5% pay raise (which by the way is no longer offered) for a 2 year seat lock. When my seat lock is up in 17 months I can go back to the IV as a Captain if my seniority will hold it. Or I may be giving babies and moms yellow smilely face stickers in my blue vest.

Wolf did you go from a capt in the IV to FO in the 450/550?

 

[gutshotdraw]

Naw,

Pack was a IV F/O, now yanking gear for many of the, ahem, "more colorful" of our group in the V / 550 / 450 but will return gloriously as a IV Captain in the spring of 2008 Uncle Warren willing and the creek don't rise. Right Bill?

BTW, I'm getting fitted for the orange apron....

Would the "more colorful" of your group be comparable to the Falcon cadre at our group?

Diesel,

My agent correctly answered your question.

I just finished my 1st recurrent in the V/550/450. Ive got 17 months on my seat lock.

Hows the weather in Bean Town?
