NetJets Hopefuls

[Going2Baja]

Current a/c is C-207 and PA-32. Trying to get into local 135 that has Lears, Cit X, Challengers and the like.

Thanks for the response, Baja. I hope you can get some time at the charter outfit and also come back to NJA in the summertime.

I'm glad to here I stand corrected. You'll get it next time!

Well guys, Derinda says that guys interviewing today will be waiting for class dates in April. Ten of uss interviewed today, 2 military, a couple of us from the 121 world (of course I have a mil/121/135 background). The HR gouge is right on, the sim is like trying to fly a frickin' squirrel but all they are looking for is basic intrument skills and improvement as you go along. As always I thought I did ok but there are always thingsd that could be improved. Keeping my fingers crossed till Friday or Monday. Waiting for the call!

No doubt eh??

Good luck to inthewind and the rest of his interview group!

My class was told the same thing about filling classes in April. One of the guys start on monday in the Falcon....So much for April. Be prepared to go quick if that's what you want.

Good luck! Thank's for the advice about staying away from your lears and when (not if!) you get the call I'll buy you the first drink.

inthewind,
I didn't think the sim was all that tough, just like a frasca, your profile has viper in it, what the heck is flying an F16 like, easier than a frickin' squirrel?

Good luck.

Yeah the mighty viper pretty much flew itself with all that fly-by-wire stuff. I didn't say that the sim couldn't be flown, just a bit more difficult that the Lear sim, ok?

Thanks , fish I'll look you up. Hopefully soon.

PS. Love the avatar!

Baja,
Sorry to hear about the denial, but I have been in your shoes at NetJets. A year ago I too got the "thanks but no thanks" call due to the sim. Had a partner whos idea of CRM was a grunt...single pilot night cargo.
I applied 6 months later to the day, redid the sim (thats the only part I had to redo) and was told that day that I would be in class in 2 weeks.
Prior to the resim I went and found a frasca and spent 2 hours in it doing raw data stuff....hard to get used to round dials when you have been flying glass.

Keep the faith.

 

[FlyingFisherman]

Thanks , fish I'll look you up. Hopefully soon.

PS. Love the avatar!

Looking forward to it. :beer: I'd bring the girls in the avatar so you could see for yourself. It's too bad they're not 21 yet

 

[Going2Baja]

Golf - thanks for the post. Sounds just like my situation. No worries...things happen for a reason. Looking at my local airport for some 135 charter.

Baja.

To all you NetJets hopefuls:

I posted this on another thread, but here it is again.

I had flown nothing but glass for years and I'm not sure if I could have passed the sim ride if I had not flown about a hundred approaches on my computer using Microsoft Sim 2004 ($30), a yoke from CH products ($100), and a Citation II add-on from Eaglesoft ($25). It was money well spent!!!!!

This one? Guy from another board made this little video which made me go out and buy the Eaglesoft Citation II.

[Plug]

Got the "thanks but no thanks" today. I think they saw that I wasn't 100% sure that NJA was right for me but that I would be interested in trying it out. NJA is a great company and I wish everyone the best of luck.

 

[widespreadpanic]

Plug,
Sorry to hear that, when did you interview?

It looks like nobody has an interview scheduled, and there are a bunch of people (myself included) waiting for an invitation.

[Going2Baja]

Plug - Sorry to hear that. If you care or want to know you can call Derinda and she'll be straight with you. Good luck - I know how you're feeling!!

Nixon - Is there room on your chart for the a/c given for training? A/c offered would be nice as well but you may run out of room. Good job on the chart!!!

Baja.

 

[inthewind]

Well, I got the thanks for playing e-mail from Derinda. Apparently the sim ride wasn't good enough. I thought it went alright but they didn't like something about it. Maybe in six months.

 

[gunfyter]

Whats with the sim ride? Used an S-II sim in Witchita in 1999. What are they using now?
