Is NetJets still Interviewing?

[StarHustler]

I have not seen any NetJets interviews posted latley and have been in the pool for a PBI domicile interview since last Feb. I was wondering if anyone knew the deal. I emailed them back in May for an update form and they emailed me back with one and said that they would be notifying PBI applicants in August for a Sep interview and if succesfull, a Oct class date. Have things slowed down, or is PBI just not open right now?

Thanks!

80 +/- open slots for the rest of the year. The domicile depends on the fleet, but you'd have to guess atleast one of the fleets is hiring into PBI. However, there might be people in the pool ahead of you waiting for PBI; you never know.

I am currently flying night freight and need a change. I got the application and sent it in 3 weeks ago, no word yet. I put CMH as my first choice in hopes that it would speed the process up. If there are only 80 slots and people in hiring pools how long until I can expect to interview and start? If it is going to be a 1-2 year process I will go to a regional and wait it out there. Anyone have any idea how long I can expect to wait?

I was waiting for PBI only since February. Within the past 2 weeks I added CMH and I am interviewing on the 29th of this month.

It's hard to tell how long it will take to get hired, but the company plans on hiring indefinitely since there are literally hundreds of airplanes on order. They told us between 450 and 500 a year when I interviewed last December. So far this year they have hired at least 300 to 350. Sim slots are getting scarce and new airframes can't get delivered as fast as the company would like so those are the only things slowing hiring down- customer demand has not slowed lately. I guess FSI needs to build some more sims and Cessna needs to start a 3rd shift to crank the planes out faster. Good luck whatever you decide.

Are they hiring for DAL at this time?

 

[notaNJApilot]

i'm pretty sure the latest seniority list has some DAL new hires.

 

[FLYLOW22]

Don't worry about the 80+ slot thing for 2006. NJA will be hiring for some time yet. A long time.

 

[The Great One]

i was told that apps received from jan to mar got calls for interviews in aug and sept.
they're working on april and may now for interviews in sept and oct

Flight Safety in CMH is adding a new Sovereign sim this week, in about 2 months a G200 is showing up, and then at the end of the year, a XLS sim is showing up. Right now Netjets cannot get all the training slots that they need, between all of the transitions, upgrades and new hires, there is only so much sim time available.

Regarding if they are still interviewing, they interviewed about 20 two weeks ago....

One thing that will be interesting, we have a lot of 65+ year old pilots that have been here over five years. After talking with a lot of them, most seem to indicate that after they receive their 2nd half of their retro checks in December, they will leave. A lot of those pilots are in the X fleet, so it will be interesting to watch the attrition number after the first of the year...

I was just at FSI CMH today and they just got the XLS sim today. It is going next to the Falcon. Its in several large pieces right now but it should be up and running sometime in the near future. Not sure when the G200 and Sovereign. It is also equally possible that I misheard and in fact it was the Soveriegn sim that showed up today - in either case FSI got themselves a new toy. Electric sim too, will be interesting to see how it works with a thunderstorm outside...

Sims and our beloved "old guys".

CMH has the new Soverign (680) installed and running I believe. I was speaking with one of the NJA 680 jedi masters a few nights ago and I believe he is going to spend some quality time with the FSI CMH crew to tell them what to and what not to teach. They are getting ready for a HUGE influx of these airplanes. HUGE!

Our "old guys". We love them all. They are bad ass professional pilots with style and class. I have enjoyed flying with them all! Lots of stories, techniques, opinions and jokes. I know of several making plans to move on down the road following the 1st of the the year and the payment of the 2nd and final (for most) bonus payment. They are some of our finest and proudest and deserve a great send off! Good luck to them all.

OK, I got the interview invite today with a host of Sept dates available. IN the body of the email they said they were hiring for "Please be aware presently we are hiring only into the following domiciles: CMH, DAL, LAX & PBI. "

So, this may clarify some things for everyone. Also there appears to now be a :
"They administer our Behavioral Assessment. It takes
about 2 hours to complete, it has 3 sections, it is not timed and you
will have 10 days to complete the assessment. There is a math section,
followed by a language/grammar finishing with a preference section
(looking for your likes & dislikes)."

I don't remember anything mentioned about this previously, it may be new, Im not sure.

Anyway, wish me luck and good luck everyone else.

Congrats on the invite Hustler. The online behavioral assessment is not new. I did it last March or April, and it was very easy. Believe me, two hours is ample time to complete the assessment. During my interview, nobody mentioned anything about the test, or the results.

Good luck.

I got the invite today, been waiting for DAL since Jan. Best of luck to all.

 

[Ultra Grump]

Congrats! You've been waiting a long time for that. Not many Aceys over here...

 

[Dorkjet]

Well, here's an Acey that just, as in about 2 hours ago, completed his type ride in ILG on the 800XPC!! YEAH FOR ME! Unfortunately it's overshadowed by the Comair crash, my prayers and tears for all of them.

Acey take over

I am another acey that is counting the days until I get the call for the interview. I got the app accepted letter mid july. What do ya'll think? Jan-Feb?

I know how you all feel waiting and waiting and then more waiting. Opening
my e-mail was a heart palpatating experience, hoping to get that acceptance letter or invite for an interview. If memory serves me, I sent my app. in
12/05, got the acceptance letter in 2/06, got called in for an interview
in 5/06 and was hired 7/06. Hang in there everyone. They are so swamped
but from what I've been told they will be hiring for another few years.

I finished my type in August out of CMH and 9/23, I start ground. I guess
the days of being off 3-6 months are long gone. May be that is a sign that
they are becoming more efficient and hopefully, for all of you potential new
hires, things will move more quickly. I feel your pain. Now that I've been here a couple of months, I can honestly say, it was WELL worth the wait and I have been extremely impressed. Good luck. You are going to love it here...
