That person is incorrect. The minimum total time has always been 2500.

Yup. I was hired in '97. Same mins then too.

 

[gutshotdraw]

NJI's minimum requirements were ATP, 5000 hrs, and at least one turbojet type rating, preferably on large cabin intercontinental corporate jet or larger.

Gee..ya think so???

Unless of course you flew a King Air C90 for a little while and knew the right people...then the "rules" were somehow different. Yep, pretty prestigious outfit alright. What a pathetic joke.

Bitter much?

Sorry you couldn't get the interview Nacho.

Did we have a handful of juiced-in pilots? Sure. Every company does. But the vast majority greatly exceeded the advertised minimums.

This is true. I slipped through the cracks somehow.

Think hard about coming to this company in its present state.

So its better to hire someone you know nothing about except a 2 hour interview, than to go with someone who has been recommended from an insider who knows another guy for a long time as well as his skills and integrity, and knows would be a good fit? I'm betting on the King Air guy. I'd take first hand recommendations over a gamble on someone who might be putting on a front. The airlines do it, every other profession does it. What's the problem?
I sent my stuff to NJI twice, never heard back. Them and about 60% of the other outfits I applied to. That's just how it is, not just there, but most places. Nothing to be bitter about.

yea stay in your job flying 50 year old airplanes in the 135 non-sked on-demand business making $45K/yr with 13 days off per quarter.

It's going to depend on where someone is currently.

You won't get the entire picture on this message board.

Kinda seems like the company that you have built.

Wasn't that C-90 some kind of quasi flow through NJI had going? Got hired into the K-Air then if they "liked" you, you put the big boy pants on? It's been so long ago...

Gonna need a ruling on this...Gutshot?

That's how four or five pilots ended up in the Gulfstream back in the day. They all had ATP and higher than average total time, just no type ratings. We did have another two or three, quite frankly, unqualified pilots slip in through the employee entrance. Not gonna lie. But none of them lasted very long and the average experience level once upon a time was around 9-10,000 hours and three turbojet type ratings. In the early days you HAD to have a G-IV rating or you didn't get the gig. Period.

 

[Jetdriver69]

Does NJ hire directly into the G550 from off the street? 10000 total, GV/550 type, over a 1000 in type?

Not seriously looking but who knows in this economy at the moment.

No, sir. They have a union and a seniority list. You get it when you can hold it.... Which, in the case of the G550, would be decades from now... They've got a shiney new phenom with your name on it. Well, ateast the right seat of it anyway.

I forgot to mention that none of the above applies if you choose to become management.

 

[Jetdriver69]

I didn't think so. I have zero interest in management, even though I do have a MBA. I would rather fly in China or the sandbox before I would do that crap.

If I can just point an airplane for another 14 years until I retire for the last time, I will be good.

You went through the trouble and expense of obtaining an MBA but you'd rather not do that "crap?"

Might make some sense. I knew a few Alpha model 58 guys back in the day and a lot of them seemed willing to do just about anything to get out of that pig

Scout's out and if you ain't Cav - well, you know the rest.

 

[Jetdriver69]

If you want to get promoted in the USAF you got to have a Master's, it is as simple as that. My MBA did allow me to teach for ERAU and probably was partially responsible for getting me my current job, but unless a meteorite hits our hangar I will be doing my current job until I'm downsized or retired.

BTW, I flew with 11th ACR Black Horse Cav while stationed with the 3rd ID in Germany 83-87. Good times and crazy pilots....

Congrats on the AF gig. I was Attack so I wasn't, well you know the rest.
