Netjets hiring of expats??

[ozpilot]

I'm an Australian who's going to be immigrating to the US within the next few months.

Hey Mate

Like Kenny says I've been at Netjets for 8 years and your citizenship wont be a factor. I travel on an Australian passport with a green card. I'll be applying for dual citizenship in a couple of months.

Netjets pays for the cost of renewing crew member passports. In my case they paid for my Australian passport renewal last year - including the cost of photos and DHL delivery. It cost the company a little over $400!

Netjets has been very good to me. The company rocks!

Wait until you're asked if you speak English and celebrate Xmas in Australia. That one cracked me up.

I love it when they ask if we celebrate the 4th of July in Australia

Doesn't everyone?

V,

If you come to America be aware of some of the language differences

A "Drug Store" does not sell crack! Its a chemist.

In Australia, "barbie" is what you put beef, shrimp and chicken on to grill it outside. In America, it's an anatomically incorrect female doll that comes in a pink box.

In Australia, "pissed" means drunk. In America, it means very angry.

If an American "lucks out" it doesn't mean he ran out of luck - just the opposite - go figure.

If your happy in the US people may refer to you as a "happy camper".

If you need an eraser, don't ask for a rubber! A rubber is what I used to carry around in my wallet for most of my teenage years in the vain hope that I would get lucky with a member of the opposite sex ...

In Australia you drink hot tea and iced coffee; here they drink hot coffee and iced (sweetened) tea ... ewww....

And whatever you do, don't refer to a cigarette as a fag!

Dude, if you tell me you are going out to "burn a fag" or "smoke a fag", you are going to be single pilot because I'm going to have tears running down my face and piss in my pants! :laugh: :nuts: :beer: :laugh:

Someone educate the ignorant (me) here. What is an "Expats"?

Never heard that one before.

Here ya go - ex-pat definition

I like the one about exile, us Brits sent a lot of bad boys & girls out to Australia, Botany Bay in the 1780s - I think the colonies in Virginia were getting full!!

And yes, I can make the joke, one of my indirect relatives was sent at "His Majesty's Pleasure" to Virginia - he liked it so much that once he had completed his sentence, he came back to UK, grabbed his wife & kids & took them back there!

Another relative in the late 1700s was the innocent party, he had a wooden shovel & a metal axe head stolen from him. The 2 guilty parties? One sent to the colonies, one executed!

A point of history here - we can thank the Americans for Australia being a penal colony. Prior to the war of independence England sent their criminals to the US. After the war they had to send them elsewhere - guess where?

Not that Australians have any animosity towards the English. My best bud at Netjets is English. I love to remind him about the difference between an Englishman and a Catfish (one has whiskers and smells and the other one is a fish! )
