NetJets Hiring Question (Rumor)

I try stupid stuff all the time.

I can confirm that

Are they really hiring into the X?

Just curious how your owners feel about the new, low time pilots being hired....it seems that if there is a newly rated ATP in the right seat still learning to spell turbine...

Diesel meant low time by our standards NOT the FAA standards. Our minimums have not changed. 2500tt/500 multi, etc. Most of the FOs hired over the last few years have been either retired/furloughed major capts or furloughed RJ pilots.

Half my interview group and half my new hire class are CRJ200 pilots from Independence Air. I have a small indoc class of just 7, I think a few more started today with the 1 day indoc then off to sim. Of my group only myself and one other pilot have major airline time (US Airways & TWA/AMR). Then we have the Indy Air pilots and a few from other RJ operators, then we have a pair of 25 year olds from turboprop operators. Their only option was the Ultra, the rest of us could have held any of the other planes if the timing had been better. I heard a rumor the next class had 2 pilots get the X, the rest got the Ultra.

I dunno about low time, cause in my indoc class recently I would say our average pilot out of the 17 in the class had about 6000+ hours....

...then again the 5 Delta retirees helped that number.

i gotta ask how one delta retiree can find that job at all enticing, much less 5 of them...

We have quite a few retired / former Part 121 guys here at NetJets. Some simply like to fly, some (sadly) have made way too many marriage mistakes, and will be paying for it for the rest of their lives.

Or, to put it another way:

"You know, I bet that if I learned to F$%@ REAL GOOD.....I wouldn't have to keep buying a NEW HOUSE every FIVE, F$%@ING YEARS! AHHHHHH!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

We could start hiring 1000TT pilots with no twin time and NJA will find some way to spin it so that they are the most qualified and highest paid guys/gals in the industry.

Yup, its possible, watch for FSI vero beach or OSU or ERAU or some program...In the new 91k/EOD-DAAP regs, SIC has to have 500 hours total time and a commercial instrument rating.
