[gunfyter]

An additional 100 Pilots will bring NetJets Europe's total to 600 Pilots.

Too bad you need a JAA and right to live & abode...

NetJets Transportes Aéreos minimum requirements for flight deck crew are:
• full (unrestricted) European passport (with legal right to work in the EU)
• full (unfrozen) European ATPL
• 1,500 hours total time
• 500 hours multi-engine time.

Another sad thing about the NJE hiring.......the 400XP are headed to Europe. Can't cut the mustard here in the States. Big meeting between Raytheon and NetJets concerning the very poor performance of the 400XP. BB already admitted that a/c was a mistake on our part. You can have them Europe.....

What's the 400XP not doing that it was touted? $hit, the Beechjet has been around for eons...can't imagine the 400XP doll-up job did much for it???? What's the deal?

Be the Ultra replacement, in short. It has trouble doing NY to south FL at times. It's got almost no baggage space. NJA didn't get single-point refueling. The 400XP's performance on wet/contaminated runways is awful. On dry pavement, it can't utilize as short of runways as the Ultra. And according to some of the maintenance guys in CMH, the 400XP is a maintenance headache.

Sounds like the bigwigs are starting to have buyers' remorse over the Hawker-that-isn't.

From one mechanic I talked to, it is a nightmare. To service the nose gear strut you have to jack the airplane and remove (YES REMOVE) the entire nose gear.

The beechjunk has been around for a long time as a corportate jet... As a fractional aircraft I can't think of a worse plane....

Poor performance/range with more then two people on board..... Heats come on forget about going anywhere.... No luggage, fractional owners like to carry enough luggage to invade a small country if the need arise... Runway has snow on it, you aren't going.... God, I could go on forever, this is TOO easy....

In Europe it could work.... Shorter legs....

Piss poor plane..... Well one thing is good the Collins avionics...
And I know what I'm talking about, been flying the thing for NJA since the beginning of this mis-guided program....

So what's the deal then...NJA owners get some killer deal on them??? Now, we all know the sales pitches will tout that a 1000nm airplane will go 2000nm, but I would hope you're run-of-the-mill NJA owner is a bit smarter than to listen to that line of bull$hit.

So, if all of the Beechjets go to Europe, what is the likely replacement aircraft? Would the Beechjets go sooner than later - in a phased approach? When would this phase-out start?

I recall that Santulli had a fit that CS would be getting the CJ3s and cancelled all of the NJA orders - obviously that would be a great replacement aircraft if Santulli could swallow his pride and do what's right...

Could NJA even order the CJ3 with its current order backlog?
