Netjets...quickest interview...which domicile?

[Wankel7]

Two questions....

1. Which is the easiest base to get an interview for?

2. If you already picked a base can you change it to get a sooner interview date? Or change it to first available?

I picked DAL and it seems to be an excruciatingly long wait. Moving has started to cross my mind.

Thanks!

I am going to guess LAX and TEB. Two crappiest places to live on FO pay.

But I will bet you could ask NJ and get an answer... or ask for them all.

Nope, not TEB. Just think about how many people already live within about 5 hours of TEB. Makes for a lot of applicants that won't have to move. I was offered the job a few days before Christmas and the earliest class date they had for me was in May.

I've always heard that the best bases to get into the company quickly are LAX and CMH, in that order. I know a guy who interviewed like 2 weeks ago for a CHM domicile and he's going to be in the same indoc class as me. I don't know how long he waited for his interview, sorry. I do know a CMH applicant who has been waiting about 2 months now without an interview though, if that gives you any indication.

Thanks for the input. Has anybody called them up to change their choices?

I have been waiting for DAL interview since Nov.

I have been waiting for DAL interview since Nov.

Got me beat...12/06...

 

[Photoflight]

talked to someone there today.

Said LAX and CMH where the two shortest waits....thought i read on here yesterday that DAL was 18months....which is disheartening.

I had DAL as my #1 preference when I sent in my application packet in late September 06. I finally emailed Derinda about a month ago and let her know that I was able to accept any domicile (but preferred DAL) and I got the interview invite the next day. She said the interview was for LAX, CMH, and TEB, so the wait for DAL is over 6 months right now.

An acquaintance of mine waited less than two months from getting his app to getting his upcoming interview had LAX as his only domicile choice. Supposedly, like gunfyter said in part, they are having some difficulty finding people who will accept LAX.

Not wanting LAX? Imagine that...

If the widespread growth of MS-13 fueled gang crime doesn't impress you, the only LAX new hire pilot affordable housing areas sure will....

The Southland's hidden Third World slums

In the Coachella Valley, hundreds of trailer parks house desperately poor Latino workers amid burning trash, mud, contaminated water.

THERMAL, CALIF. — Like most of their neighbors in the sprawling, ramshackle Oasis Mobile Home Park, the Aguilars have no heat, no hot water. On cold nights, the family of eight stays warm by bundling up in layers of sweaters and sleeps packed together in two tiny rooms.

Bathing is a luxury that requires using valuable propane to boil gallons of water. So the farmworker clan spends a lot of time dirty.

Jose Aguilar, a wiry 9-year-old, has found a way around the bath problem. He just waits until dinner. "My mom makes frijoles," he said, "then I take a bath in that water."

Jose and his family live in a world few ever see, a vast poverty born in hundreds of trailer parks strung like a shabby necklace across the eastern Coachella Valley.

Out here — just a few miles from world-class golf resorts, private hunting clubs and polo fields — half-naked children toddle barefoot through mud and filth while packs of feral dogs prowl piles of garbage nearby.

Thick smoke from mountains of burning trash drifts through broken windows. People — sometimes 30 or more — are crammed into trailers with no heat, no air-conditioning, undrinkable water, flickering power and plumbing that breaks down for weeks or months at a time.

"I was speechless," said Haider Quintero, a Colombian training for the priesthood who recently visited the parks as part of his studies. "I never expected to see this in America."

Riverside County officials say there are between 100 and 200 illegal trailer parks in the valley, but the Coachella Valley Housing Coalition says the number could be as high as 500............
