NetJets Phone Interview

[CFI4LIFE]

I think L4B has it right. Not that you don't have the background, but it seems like there has been a BIG shift to the customer service side of the interview. PERHAPS what they have done is brought back the phone interview process because of such a low hire rate. Meaning that since so few are being selected they are going back to the phone interview as a way to weed people out and, as previously stated, save the time and expense of a face to face.

You'll do well though, so I wouldn't sweat it.

Good theory, however, I have been flying charter for 3 years. Beyond that, I had a few years of customer service work that was not aviation related. What is even more weird is that I live in Columbus so they wouldn't have to spend any money to get me there and lodge me there.

Who knows what they are doing? It makes me nervous though because there has been little to no gouge on the phone stuff.

This is the last thread on the phone interview. There isn't really much more that I have found about it.

8 days. geewizz. Anybody waited over 11 months?

Has anyone with turbo-prop time been called at all? From all of the gauge I have read, it seems like NJ wants jet time.

Would that be a gas gauge or an oil gauge? :laugh:
Just hang in there, our dept. is swamped. Hope your TBP time is PIC. That would be a difference over a guy with jet time SIC.

I talked to someone one got interviewing today, he said they were told the HR phone interviews have been brought back.

Do all applicants receive an email stating their application was "received". I applied about a month ago which I know is a nano second in the world of applications but I hadn't recieved an email stating application "received".

I have many NetJets pilots on our planes to pick up their jets, they are all super nice and and encourge the crew to apply. Just trying to get through the front door any suggestions?

Try August 2006. Never got called, and had to reapply...

Best of luck to those with a scheduled interview and those waiting for the call. NJW

I think the average from the time you actually put your app in until the accepted e-mail is about 2 months (with an internal rec).

 

[JettBoii]

Freightdog. Did you ever get an interview?

 

[captain007]

We were told in class that LORs from nja employees mean a great deal in seperating all the apps. I made sure I wrote a few for my buddies.

About one month here. Just got my "accepted" email last week.

Oh no! Don't do that!

Nope. Still waiting...

1st app sent in August 2006.

2nd app sent in March 2008.

At the same time, I am glad to see that they called some Aloha people. They called a classmate of mine as well as some others. I hope they all get hired - every single one that I know that got called is an absolute class act.

I've heard the same from NJA pilots... they're so swamped with apps that they are using internal letters of rec. pretty heavily. If you have a NJA pilot walk it in, with a few NJA pilot recs on it, you'll get called lickety split.

Apparently, it also helps a lot to be a Flexjet or charter pilot. Some NJA guys I know said they're souring rapidly on the airline guys because of a few bad apples. I have a couple airline friends who applied long ago and haven't heard anything... on the other hand, I know charter guys who have gotten an interview within a couple months of applying. If you know an airline guy going to interview, tell them to shift his/her frame of mind! It's not airline flying. I know too many good airline guys who want in for a few goobers to screw it up.

Good luck to all!

I also waited 8 days and got the e-mail to setup the phone interview which is at the end of the month. I had 2 LOR's. One from a current line pilot and one from a NJ share owner. I don't believe the phone interview is to save just on travel cost because I live in CMH and it would cost almost nothing for me to come to an interview. Good luck to us all
