NetJets Re-Sim

[mflyer2]

Did anyone else out there, pass the interview but get asked to come back and do the simulator over again?

If so, how'd it go? Did you get hired, and was it different than the first time?

Any info would be appreciated.

No worries mate. I have 2 friends that had that exact situation. They passed the HR portion but "failed" the sim ride. Both were asked to come back in 6 months. One did and was offered the job, the other I haven't talked to since. I have another friend trying to get on now. I have warned him of this possible situation. Everyone has a bad day.

208 Hows Detroit and Cleveland treatin yah?

"208starcheck" never did fly the good ole "Screw08" run. I believe he pussed out and flew a caravan elsewhere in the system.

I feel sorry for the poor bastard who gets stuck with the 208 route out of LCK. Ah the good ole days. . ....

"USC208, cleared to land on 24R. Braking action reported as poor on the runway, poor to nil on the taxiways and ramp."

Sweeeeet.

I did that run twice for IOE in December years ago... No fun man!! I lucked out and got a van run down in the South East. Ahh the good ole "Icy flying coffin of death!"

 

[mflyer2]

so...... how about the re-sim? anyone?

208, thanks for the reply.

 

[Stealthh21]

So what is so hard about the sim ride?

 

[j31flyer]

I really dont know what was hard about it. It was easier than the Flexjet sim interview. The sim is stable with an easy profile.

 

[mflyer2]

You're right DO-82..........caught me in a bad mood.
thanks

 

[DO-82 driver]

Now that's a little uncalled for......

And...YES....some people have been called back...for various reasons. The ride was the exact same as the first time.

Of the 2 people who were called back that I ppersonally know both were turned down after the second ride.

 

[brokeflyer]

for one....I had no trouble with the sim.....I thought it handled like a lear...


second, caravan drivers, I feel your pain.......try TOL-ELP in a van.....THAT SUCKED......Ill never fly a 208 again unless it's south of JAX. It's a death trap in the ice

mflyer2 - You've got PM.

Time to resuscitate this thread. Has anyone here done a re-sim at NJA lately - or ever for that matter? My update form is in and now it's time to wait. I was told by Derinda I would only have to do the Sim and not the HR - I'm just curious what to expect for the visit to Ohio.

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Baja.

Just to hijack your thread, I'm in the same but backwards boat. I passed the sim with flying colors but didn't clear the HR interview. Derinda's been very helpfull, telling me what the interviews found deficient and what I need to work on when I come back in 6 months. Have you spoken to her since the interview? She may be able to tell you what went wrong so you can practice for next time. I would also like to know how many people went back for a second try and what the outcome was.

When I flew the sim during the interview, got to 200' and called for full flaps (as it were and maybe it's still that way) and as soon as that happened, I crashed. Mmmmm, that was embarrassing and couldnt figure out what happened. Instructor and sim partner blew it off, but you know they were rolling their eyes. Sim partner flies the sim, 200' comes along, he calls for full flaps and guess what? He bit it in too!!! I was so excited and happy that he crashed too because he was wondering what the hell I was doing over there. Nobody including the sim instructor could figure it out. We were both pretty red faced and heads down when we rolled outta that thing. Long story short, they had er set for tail icing and inop boots and with full flaps, it dont work out too well that way.....as we learned.

I have two acquaintances who failed the sim during the interview process. Both were offered the opportunity to return in 6 months. One of them ended up finding a job elsewhere while the second one returned, did the sim, and got the job.

I am not an NJ pilot, so no self-interest here. I think that says a lot about the company, that they would let you "redo" the sim portion. As previously noted, everyone has a bad day at some point.

 

[j41driver]

...got to 200' and called for full flaps...

They aren't interested in stabilized approaches?

 

[Archie Bunker]

They aren't interested in stabilized approaches?

Actually when I did the interview last April, we were briefed at one dot.....gear down, glideslope intercept.....full flaps.

Personally, I thought the simulator was an unstable piece of junk. However, it did accomplish the mission of determining whether your instrument scan was up to snuff or not.

 

[Ultra Grump]

They aren't interested in stabilized approaches?

Maybe they're doing single-engine ILS now. I've always found our full-flaps-at-the-last-second SE ILS procedure to be rather stupid.

I agree, if your SE, the last thing you want to do at 200' is throw in a configuration change. I'd just land it with flaps 25 or whatever the flap setting was for the approach.

 

[Guitar rocker]

Ofcourse they are. But that was the profile that we were given in the sim at the time. It has probably changed by now, but we had to go by what they told us to do.

Yah, yah, yah..just admit it, you screwed up.....i would have expected it from fogbank, but not you....paperboy out

Steel! Hey, we need to sit down and talk about the goal of your hair at some point.

I think the text book circle approach in the sim would be the one you did at skidway! Theres nothin like the fogbank gettin that GPWS to say everything that it can! Heres whats cool about that type of an approach....you sort of take life for granted here and there, but after that, it makes you realize how happy you should be to be alive. Sort of a positive motivation in life if I might say so myself! Know what I mean dawg?

 

[Hawker800]

Passed the HR interview. Was told I failed the sim ride. Was informed I could try again in six months. Sent in the required paperwork for the second try. Received a letter stating that there would not be a second chance. First try occured last fall. Not automatic guys. Good luck to all.
