NetJets for the New Year...

[slaabpilot]

Just a question to anyone who might know.....

Is NetsJets continuing to hire in the light of this new year...

and if so how many pilots are they planning on.

thanks to anyone who can answer this.

Its my understanding that we are still hiring and will continue through the year. I have heard anywhere from 250 to 600. This is all subject to change but thats what I hear. Good luck

Supposed to be 2300 (app) by year end 05'. The latest list, 12-15-04, shows 1976 on the list.

So, about 325 (plus +/- 300)

Also you got to add all the people leaving. That's another 400

Something your not telling us Diesel? Wheres everyone going....and please take us with you

Thanks for the info guys!

400 leaving?? Naa! Not yet.

Another 2 years without a contract and some more 121 hiring and then the balloon will burst and pilots will jump overboard in droves.

With more 121 guys getting hired the company gets more union educated angry pilots who wont put up with NJA bullsh!t.

If negotiations end up lasting that long(which I dont think it will) it will be filled with informational picketing, a strike vote, legal job actions etc...

It will be great.

sounds marvelous to me....bring on the Chaos!!!!!!!!

it always seems to work

 

[cosmotheassman]

I want to work there just to add to the confusion! How much does a first year F/O gross including per diem????

 

[slowto250]

Gross pay at Netjets

Gross ? @34 G's ......Gross being the operative word.

In the past a new F/O could get umpteen extended days. That does not happen so much any more. I think the company used to tell people that low 40's for an F/O was possible. A good friend who spent his whole first year as an F/O(on F/O pay) took home around 34K. He did get some extended days due to training. That does seem to be the norm.
As for the per diem, we are fed quite often so in a 5, 6 or 7 day tour you might end up buying yourself 2 or 3 meals and thats it. At the very worst it seems you might have to buy yourself dinner each day. Breakfast and lunch are almost always provided by the hotel or company.

took home around 34K.

That's not possible on FO pay unless he got A LOT of extended days. Gross pay is only 27K. Even factoring in per diem, it's just not possible for him to have taken home 34K without a lot of extended days or being on the flex.

Kinda off the subject, but this is the type of statement that hurts furloughed pilots from getting a good corporate job. Why would any employer want to hire a person that is going to stir up trouble? (not to say the netjet guys deserve more, because they do)

The 121 guys that have come to this company have done a great job making sure that this union is run like a union. They know how one actually works and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table.

A corporate department has there own worries. The pilots can bring problems directly to the CP. It's a small knit group.
