NetJets Medical

[Flex]

The physical is after you are an employee of NJA and on the property. Whether or not you have a current medical is not relevant, you get another. The physical is a combination of a company and an FAA exam. New hires have been known to lose their medicals. Please don't attempt this if you know you have medical issues. Certain issues (high cholesterol, etc) may not cost you the job, they will only inform you about it. However, other issues, such as what happens after you drink a healthy glass of orange tang-like drink after fasting overnight, have been known to catch guys. I wish it was different, but it is what it is. Once you are an employee, it's back to your old doc for your FAA medical.

Go out and get yourself a current 1st medical the month you start class. Then, the netjets medical is now an "executive" physical. No FAA paperwork. I think you had to have a FAA medical current within 2 mos of the netjets medical for that to apply. Once person in our class had a 4 month old 1st class and argued with the nurse that he/she did not have to take a FAA first as his/hers was still current. The nurse was pissed and called netjets, however, the person won and didn't have to do the FAA paperwork. BTW, physical is still the same, the only difference is whether or not you do the paperwork for the feds. Don't sweat it too much. I had a small problem and was still issued a first. Just had to do a follow up test. Yes, it was a pain. My normal flight doc could've cared less. If you want details, pm me.
