NetJets medical

[igneousy2]

Are you required to maintain a first class medical at NetJets (even while you're a First Officer)?

Thanks

 

[captain dad]

Yep!!

 

[JungleJett]

Not according to what we were told. You need a First Class to get hired but only need to maintain a Second class....but they pay for a First Class.

We must obtain a first class, but we are not required to maintain it. Ie. You get a medical once a year. That is all the company will pay for. If you would like to get one every 6 mo, the second one is on your dime.

In "my currency" section of the BB it says med. due in Sept./08..1 year from my last first class. So a second class is ok to have as an FO

 

[Buckeye]

I think the medical must be issued as a First Class but can lapse to a Second class for FO's

 

[gunfyter]

if during employment you are only able to hold 2nd class... You may continue to work as SIC on sic pay.

Check your FOM or Contract. I am pretty sure that it says that SICs are required to maintain a First Class. The company has reimbursed me for each of my First Class medicals (still an SIC).

Been here 2.5 yrs and have only gotten a medical once every 12 months.

If you go to the company web sight and go to your personal page it will tell you when your medical is due.

SIC only need to maintain a 2nd class.

Just to let you know, it doesn't cost anything to pay attention

Well, you made me go dig up my FOM and my new contract.

FOM page p1-23. (dated 20 APR 07) ....bottom of the page there is a note...

NOTE: ...each crewmember must maintain a First Class medical certificate....

Contract p220 (the new IBB contract) 25.1 states...

...each crewmember must maintain a First Class Medical Certificate. ...

According to both the FOM and the Contract, each crewmember must maintain a first class medical. I understand that as both PICs and SICs.

And like I said, the company has reimbursed me on each one, without question.

Just get the 1st Class. If any pilot out there can't pass a United States Class 1 Medical... well... maybe it's time to consider something else to do.

Not seeing the note you are referring to, but I do See 1.11.4 First officer

"crew members with the current duty assignment of first officer are required to comply with provisions of fom 1.11.1 above. For the purposes of medical certificate renewal, First officers medical certificates may lapse to second class privileges after six months following issuance. After 12 months beyond the date of issuance first officers shall maintain a medical in accordance with the requirements of far 61.23

clear as mud,

from what i can read first class is required when issued i.e-at the doctors office, but it may lapse to second class from months 6-12

25.4 Holding of Second Class Medical Certificate​

</B>​

​

A crewmember who fails to qualify for his First Class Medical Certificate, but who is able to qualify
for a Second Class Medical Certificate may fly as a First Officer and be paid in accordance with the
appropriate First Officer wage scale set forth in Section 27. A crewmember who is receiving
Captain’s pay at the time he lost his First Class Medical will have his Captain’s pay reinstated
effective the first duty day associated with Captain requalification training.​

Thanks for all the posts - I'm clearly not as young as some of you and a First Class is getting to be a bit of a pain.

thanks

Also, just so you know, it's required to have a current 1st class medical for the interview too. From the application accepted e-mail:

We will contact you when you are selected for a future interview date.
When you are granted an interview you must possess and present a First Class Medical that is within the first 6 months of the date issued (ATP/PIC privileges in effect).


Please provide us with any changes in employment.
