As a newbie, the senior guys look at you as if you are not a "quality" pilot.
Call it whatever you want. There is a learning curve doing what we do here at NetJets.
I THOUGHT that I knew this job pretty well after the 1st 2 years. After 5+, I've realize that I too was on a learning curve for much of that.
I'm not talking about just manipulating controls. I talking about dealing with certain FBOs, Owner issues, high workload airports, making quick decisions which either way could make you look like the bad man, remembering that the BED locker is useless so don't rely on it for anything etc, etc.
This job is so much about service and so little about flying. It's absolutely expected that flying is already not only handled, but mastered when stepping on this property.
What does someone who is at the top of his/her game have to offer NetJets and flying partners (PICs)? Total attention (or as much as possible) to focusing on the Owner and service and developing those skills.
As a former airline guy, most of my people skills would get me an award as "greatest retard" when talking to Mr. and Mrs. Big about something they found pertinent or useful.
The learning curve is normal. Top of game folks make that learning curve shorter and that's better for everyone here.
Time is spent on learning service techniques rather than learning to fly into challenging environments.
That being said, I'll fly with who I am paired with. I assume the guy next to me has checked out just like me. It's up to him/her to prove themselves differently. I would also be inaccurate to say that I just sit there and let them flop around aimlessly without providing some suggestions to smooth things along. Guys did it for me several times when I was learning service technique.
