Excel Class

I got the call 1/06/06 @ 0944 CDT and was offered the Excel for a February 20th class...I'm thrilled..good A/C with room and APU...but I don't know why I wasn't offered other A/C and an earlier start date..maybe my interview answers made them decide the Excel for me? I have a CE-500 and a DA2000 type...
Been unemployed for 2 months...doing contract flying...will be glad to get back to some semblance of security

I've heard the Excel is a great aircraft to fly. I know NJA also operates the XLS. Are newhire Excel pilots trained on the XLS as well from the beginning? I would think so. I also hear it is a busy fleet given that it and the X are very popular among owners. Good job!

no such thing as aHawker 400xp. its a Japanese built airplane

jap designed
built by Mexicans
sold by Americans.

And still a crappy airplane.

Excel/XLS

My understanding is that Excel pilots fly both the Excel and XLS at NJA and that there is overide pay ($300 month for Capts, $225 for SIC) for being 'dual qualified' although I think it's a not too complex differences training....My previous corporate job was looking hard at buying an XLS so I had done some research on it and believe Cessna has done a good job with the Excel...selling alot of them!

 

[Gpilot800]

I work directly witht the new hires here and can tell you the company in the last 2 months has hired into the 400XP, Ultra, XL, 750, 800XP H&C, G200 and FAlcon... or pretty much everything.

I don't expect that to change much in the next year due to aircraft deliveries and the upgrade shuffle which will surely open many SIC seats in bigger aircraft.

I have not heard anyone state there would be no NHs in the Ultra this year. We're not getting Ultras delivered now, so the fleet will not grow like other fleets will this year. With that in mind, New Hire Ultra placement will be mostly due to SIC upgrades.

Good Luck... Look forward to working with you!

How about the Sovereign?
Any word on the start of Hawker 4000 training?

Question ....TK855 said they arent assigning new hires to any domicle ...that mean ANY domicle other than the 5 talked about are open? Also, with regards to mountain flying (ASE, EGE, etc) is there any sim training done specifically for this?

That Sovereign is a great looking aircraft. It would be nice to start on that aircraft - I hear the Primus Epic is a great system too.

What I meant, they aren't forcing new hires into a specific domicile. You get to pick which one of 5 you want. You still only get to choose from LAX, DAL, PBI, TEB, and CMH. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

The "domiciles" are the five selected by the company. The domiciles also have satellites. The pilots flying from other than the 5 and the satellites fly out of HBAs (Home Based Airports). So, anytime you hear the word "domicile" with regards to NJA it means one of the five.

Yes you will train in the mountains in the sim. You'll learn more from the guys on the line, although a V1 cut at ASE in the box is pretty valuable

Interviewed yesterday, notified today that I'll be in the 800XPC, and got my requested domicile.

One of the others in our group has been offered the X or the G-200.

Don't know about the others, but there seems to be a variety of aircraft being filled.

 

[Hawkered]

We need crews on every aircraft except the BBJ.

 

[Twotter76]

This is just my opinion but I dont think we need any more crews on the Ultra right now. My class of two months ago appears to be the most recent and I have been sitting for almost a full month waiting to go to company training, to say nothing of doing IOE. Don't get me wrong im not complaining just pointing out that there are a few fleets that are (presumably) staffed something close to correctly.

Great job! What percentage of the Hawker fleet is the XP-C vs. the regular XP? I've heard the XP-C is a great aircraft and a "good" fleet to be on...

Sorry, but I haven't a clue.

If I find out next week before somebody else replies, I'll update.

Did you take the Feb 6th class on the 800? Any ideas on the dates offered for the X and 200?
