NetJets Europe

[DO-82 driver]

D....you're assuming the EU pilots have a set of cahones.

I know that a bunch of the NJE folks are nothing more than cheese-eating, surrender-monkey....."pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon?"-type of pilots

Remember that twice during the last century the USA had to bail out our European Allies----twice.....

I think this might be number 3 coming up, only this time Local 1108 will be landing on Omaha Beach!!!

I spoke with a "recruiter" from Jet Professionals a couple weeks ago.

Their "Deal" was fly you from US base to Europe and pick up your a/c. Fly for 35 days and RTB for 31 days off. No mention of having to have a EU passport, but they did want you to get a 2nd US passport for VISA services.

They fly you To / FM Europe on the 35 days. No mention of schedule other than pick up airplane and fly. Company picks up hotels & airlines.

Seams you got $100 per diem per day.

Starting pay for Hawker CA was around $95,000.00 US, no information provided about taxes other than they need to be paid. Check drawn on Bank in Saudi.

Never got word on what rules to fly by (FAA - N registered A/C or Jar-Ops 1). They do have a few N registered aircraft and some "other" rgistered A/C.

I read that they need to add about 160-180 pilots THIS year.

 

[DO-82 driver]

Sounds mighty shady to me.......$100/day perdiem in Europe might be a bit under the average.

I don't mind doing TEB to PBI.

Hahha. We already "landed" at OMA once...

 

[Diesel]

You need to go to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx for canollis

History, ah, a wonderful subject.... the Boston Tea Party, & all that jazz! How Hollywood changes who did what (like the Enigma decoding machine)....

Seriously though, if only we (UK/Europe) had been able to develop our GA & other flying aspects as the same way in the USA, the up/down battles of pilot availability versus self-funded ratings (or sponsorship, cadet schemes, whatever) would probably have never existed.

In short, you guys fly everywhere - we drive or take the train (unless there are the wrong type of leaves on the line to stop the trains - a frequent excuse from rail providers!). Costs for private flying are prohibitively expensive over here, which is why so many "self-improvers" go the the US for hours building or JAA approved courses. It doesn't help that unless you go the "approved course" route, I think that you need 500 hrs multi for an unfrozen ATPL - great, typical price at a high-end training school is US $415 per hour for something like a Cougar or Seneca II!! Ouch!! Just for a PPL in the UK, you are looking at up to $14K with all the add-ons. In the USA, maybe half the price!! OK, plus flights & accommodation - still a superb deal!!

So, like spelling (colour/color!), we unfortunately have a very different (& expensive) aviation environment over here. We certainly don't like it, but maybe it will change for the better as demand for pilots increases.

3b5 is crap. I can do that in my sleep.

A real man turns SHINY inbound and shoots the Floatplane Sheppard 1 Approach.

 

[DO-82 driver]

Pond in the River was someplace I always hated.....Why would anyone want to put a boulder just under the surface of the water soooo close to where we had to dock???????

And to do the Sheppard 1 Approach you CANNOT transmit anything over the radio.

 

[Diesel]

You can as long as you are transmiting your wrong location to keep the navy base on the hill confused.

They took down the damn at pond in the river. Makes taking off so much easier.

"Stop chasing those navy guys on the hill, they're really getting pissed off at us." "But they know they can't do anything about it because its not supposed to even exist."

 

[Masterplan]

NJ Europe

Is it possible to work for Netjets US and transfer to NJ Europe and then transfer back maybe ten years later retaining your US seniority or are they two completely different companies?

 

[Flyingdutchman]

Different companies.

 

[Masterplan]

oops posted twice

 

[Flyingdutchman]

Are you for real?

Yes, and they will hand u a EU passport and JAA ATPL at the border.

Same with European guys looking for a job over here, they give 'm green cards and FAA ATP's at the border.
