meaning of interview at NetJets

[Diesel]

What source does your 90 percent come from? Or is it just off the top of your head.

I'd say its more about 70 percent. I don't work there but the whole grip and grin, 3 rec's for military pilots, 5 for civilian pilots, plus an interview? I'll PM albie for the real numbers because he has them.

 

[capt_zman]

A buddy of mine (really a friend of a friend), spends alot of time in the interviewing process and the > 80% came from him. You are absolutely correct about the M&G, which has everything to do with WHO gets interviewed.

As for the whole process, it all depends on who you know and what kind of juice they have. I've seen it as long as 1.5 years, I've also seen M&G to class date in 2 months.

 

[Diesel]

It all depends where you consider the "interview process".

The M&G has a huge impact in the process. Especially with the last scheduled M&G's timeslots going within the first few minutes of opening it up.

Don't even get me started on MIL Leave.

 

[capt_zman]

The M&G system seems to be ever-evolving. Hopefully they'll get it nailed down soon, because the current procedure really stinks for everyone.

Have you tried getting in?

 

[Diesel]

Albie says off the street is about 60-70 percent and with prep its about 80 percent.

Nope not me don't want too many eggs in one basket.

You anc or swap back to mem yet?

 

[capt_zman]

I've been MEM since day 1 (one of the dudes reamed by the p_nuggets), been online for about a month now.

 

[Diesel]

Lucky you ANC lines have been crap and the commute is brutal from here.

Is there a written test during the interview? and if there is one is it out of the ATP book?

Thanks

I walked out of a UAL interview before I retired from the military-it was the most insulting 17 minutes of my life...

NetJets sent an application and the rest is history-as they say...

I would never interview with another airline after the way I was treated at UAL...

American called me to set up an interview and I turned them down.. I'll stay at NetJets and forgo that age 60 or 65 thing...

Hi!

Don't judget the airlines by the UAL interview. I've heard it was awful.

I interviewed at Delta, and the interview part of it was the most relaxed and laid back one I ever had. There were no technical questions at all.

Most airline interviews are decent. I've had 6. 5 were good, and 1 was a little anal, but not outside of parameters.

Unless it just changed, there isn't a written test. Obviously, you'll get some technical questions during the interview (FAR/AIM material), but there isn't a written exam.

As far as the NJA interview goes (I interviewed 2/27-28) there was no written test during the interview. There was a on-line written "test" prior to the interview. Math, english, psych profile, etc. You get the instructions when your interview is scheduled. The interview itself was FAR/AIM, WWYD, and tell me about yourself type of stuff

If you get called for an interview, the job is yours to lose. I hate to be a Simon Cowell here, but if you came to an interview and didn't get the job then you did something wrong.

I have a friend who interviewed in Jan. He did not take a online test or psych profile or any of that jazz.

Hi!

Failure to be hired can be due to many things, including LOTS beyond the control of the person being interviewed.

The biggest one being if the right interviewer doesn't like you, you're out.

Guy interviews at USAir. He has lots of DC-3 time and not much jet.
Interview #1 w/ Navy jet guy-not hired.
6 months later w/ civilian guy with lots of DC-3 time-hired.

The candidate did nothing different in both interviews. His experience level was, practically speaking, the same.

The only difference? The interviewer.

I think they must have turned the test back on. My buddy who interviews next week has to take the online test. Maybe the stack of potential new hires is getting thick and they want an extra discriminator.

Best of luck to all trying to get on board,

Don't let the United experience in and of itself sour you on airlines. I interviewed there once and was turned down. I never applied there again, I'd seen enough and I didn't want to work there that bad.

I've done a few airline interviews in my time, United was definately in a league of their own. I'm not suggesting you leave Netjets, it sounds like a great job to have, I just wanted to say that not all airlines are like what you experienced at United.

I am scheduled to interview on April 3/4 I was told today to take the online test. I have not taken it yet but they say to put aside an hour and a half.

Tom

PS anybody else gonna be there on the 3/4???

Funny I felt the same about my UAL interview.
