Is NetJets still Interviewing?

[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.

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...

How long does it currently take to go sim to I.O.E. in lets say... the encore? I'm off to Wichita in Oct.

Welcome aboard illinipilot - you will like the Encore its a great bird. I understand they are a little backed up right now as they have really been putting a lot of newhires into the fleet in the last few months so you might get a few weeks of paid vacation. I just spoke to someone who had been waiting 1.5 months after his sim to start IOE but it sounded like maybe they just lost his paperwork somewhere so that may not be typical.

waazzuupp illinipilot welcome, twotter 76 is 90% correct. It is true that they are backed up but some more than others. For instance I am on the X and finished initial on 8/16 ( by the way, very impressive training). It is now 9/10 and just received word that I will start ground training on 9/25. I was told by training schedulers that roughly my time frame (8/16) of initial of all types of iron was to start the new way of ground training to minimize large gaps from initial to IOE.

Old school was to complete initial/normal FSI ran 2 day loft then large gap of drinking many corona (2-3 months) then come back to do roughly 5 days of ground training. Which included some aircraft and performance review, how to do a walkaround, know where the princesses beverage of choice is and her playing cards are while ending up with 3 bounces in whith the plane you chose to strap on your back. Wait for paper work to go through (once your IOE training captain gave a thimbs up), drink some more corona's for 2 weeks (with lime of course). Than and only than will you now actually fly the princess around (well you won't, the captain will but you'll run the radios).

New school dictates that you still do loft except now accompanying FSI instructors are NJA IOE guys/girls so they can lead you in the right direction if FSI did not (they did for our class). This is to avoid doing more or less pattern work in your bird down the line. This was to save money and that's fine because it works. However you will still do 3 bounces in definately the X and I believe I was told the soverign, thats it for iron. This is because they have very different t/o characteristics due to wing (X) and tail (soverign) design. Then with getting more efficient in paper work (not losing it) there able to get you on line quicker.

That's it I hoped I cleared up some ??????? and the X really is an AWSOME aircraft to fly. I know some, for whatever reason, critics will come out of the woodwork and say something differently but who cares I'M EMPLOYED BABY by a great company.
