NetJets Hiring?

[DAS at 10/250]

There is hope for some in this industry!! :beer:

Tell me about it. Especially with a late night Saturday post. I figured at least one of you would be sauced up, turned down by the old lady, and looking to vent some "frustration" of FI.com. Oh well...

Maybe next time.

Mesa Sucks!!!!!!!


Better? :laugh:

Winner!

That's pretty funny... Still bi-curious how they keep winning caterer of the year awards...

Perhaps the guys that vote get a different goulash then we do.

I still can't eat a cheese pizza thanks to them.

I'm guesiing many NJI furloughees found cushy GIV-V jobs that those without the type can only dream of getting? Where have you heard they are going to?

Several have hit the jackpot.

Fortune 100 compaines.. Conoco-Phillps, Franklin Templeton, SAS, just to name a few.

Very good friend of mine landed one of them. The Gulfstream society is much like Herpes, once you have the type, you fly with the same crowd your whole career.

Three that I know of have found full time Gulfstream jobs since the furlough and several others have found some contract work. Believe it or not, there are some jobs out there. But it takes a lot of networking and prior corporate experience is an advantage. Before the furlough, every guy on the block that I spoke with or heard about said they wouldn't come back because it would be into whatever aircraft their VSL number would then hold and it would be at CBA pay scale which would be a pay cut.

Most of the NJI guys that were furloughed already had type ratings in Gulfstream, Falcon, or Challenger size aircraft when they were hired and are working their connections in the corporate world to find a job.

Is this what happened to you? You're an idiot and a loser for trying to stir something like this up.

There are some instances of whole tours of working 12+ hours and flying like crazy and not fatiguing like they should, but overall we really aren't getting crushed. There should definitely be more fatigue calls when people are fatigued for whatever reason, but overall we aren't crazy busy like some squeaky wheels keep trying to tell everyone. I fly the Excel. Some days are hard. Some days I do nothing. Overall I am flying about the average amount for a fractional pilot- I'll do about 450 hours this year. At this rate and the rate they are telling us of 1 to 2 percent growth year over year in the plans, we won't be hiring or recalling any time soon. I honestly don't see any recalls unless they are forced by using sell offs more than 11 days per quarter (none last quarter and only 5 or 6 the first quarter). Slow growth without being overall really busy won't bring hiring for many, many years.

WOW! At least the humor hasn't been lost over here.

Unfortunately, I have to say told ya so.. (not you , but everyone still on property) Many of us predicted what was going to happen.. Longer days, more flying,, people complaining about being overworked at some point (fleet dependant).. It is going to take serious fatigue calls to change this. I'm not a "fatigue to prove a point or just because", but at some point you'all can't be doing 12-14 hr days, 5 legs, 6 days a week. It is going to take some pilots taking a stand.

The efficiency you produce at eventually has a direct affect on our return to employmnet.

Don't worry all the retirees that are still at NJA seem to call fatigue after the first or second 12 hour day. They already started the new movement. While at FBOs I get to listen to all their "victories" over the company by them calling in fatigue because they are worked to hard. I get to listen to how scr@wed they get by scheduling. I guess actually working instead of retiring can be.....well....work.

I'm sure once the career minded furloghees come back then the retirees can enjoy the La-z-boys in the crew lounges again. And I'm sure they will still call in fatigue if they can't get their afternoon nap in.

If it weren't for the retirees, there would be room for the furloughees to be at work right now. Thanks for playing guys, but you've had your fun and now its our turn.

wow....with an attitude like that, you're the first that really deserved to be furloughed.

outta 495, so far i found 494 that we're really good people.

There are so many things I could say to this.

And Jacks post as well.

How much money should a pilot have saved when they step aside Jack?

Sorry if it came off as attitude. I'm actually the group of guys whom take up the slack, always have a well stocked plane, and have the jepps done. I'm the guy that your happy to fly with.

I'm just tired of hearing the retirees complain about how hard their job is, how tired they are and how their free crew food didn't come with pepper and salt.

I'm just saying that this job can be very demanding with what we do, where we go and the hours you work. It may not be the best retirement job to do.

I subscribe to the idea that if you complain about your job or can't perform while doing it, then maybe it's not the job for you.

There are almost 500 guys on the street here that would love to have there job back.

You can't hang it up Jack when you hate your wife and have no other hobbies.
