NetJets time between training and IOE??

How close is close enough? A several-hour drive? That is, do you get your brief the night before, giving you time to get in position at your domicile? And how close must home be to be given "show from home?"

You should get a brief by 6pm the night before. If you dont get a brief, you are suppose to call them by 7pm.

Show from home....I live about 1:20 from LAX. They gave me a show at home the other day. I told the guy how far I was from the airport, and he didnt seem to worried. He said, "if they give you a trip, just tell them how long it will take to get to the airport." Did this on day 1 and day 2, no trips. On day 2 by 6pm, I had a trip for day 3. Basically 2 extra days at home, followed by a 5 day trip.

Lets say you dont live in your domicile. They will give you a show time day one. Say 6am at fbo. You show at 6 am. If they dont have an airline or flight for you by 7am call and request hotel. One hour later if still no plan call and ask to be released to hotel. If they release you enjoy the hotel. If they dont release you then you start ot and collect ot for the rest of the duty period.

When you get show at home or hotel the rule for being standby is one hour from the time they call untill you show at the airport. The contract says 30 to get to the lobby and then 30 min for the cab ride but basicly 1 hour. I would say if you live more than that you are taking a risk.

So, somebody who lives a few hours from their domicile could spend a few months sitting in a hotel in their domicile waiting for IOE to start?

i had about 3 months off between flight training and ioe. i never received any sort of show at home type briefs. the only time i got a brief was when it was time for ioe to start. my flight training partner had the exact same experience. he lives a long way from his base as well and never spent a night in his domicile while waiting for ioe to start. maybe our experience was not typical.

I had shows at home when I was waiting for IOE. When you finish flight training you go right to the 7/7 schedule or reserve. So you should be recieving some type of brief for your 7 days and should be calling in every night if you are on the reserve. If you do not recieve a brief by 6pm the night before a 7 day tour you have to call the fm and get one.
