NJA hired call?

[CALRepublic]

You'd rather fly the Super Fast, TEB Express, Recover all fleets work til your fingers bleed "X" over the Classy, well equipped, real business jet, with real avionics, "800xpc" ? Who did you get your info from? Wholly crap - I've been at NJA for 6 years and would never, ever bid the "X" and I still can't hold the 800, much less the 800xpc or 900!!!!

I think its the exictement of flying something fun and fast.

Sorry - not to bring you down. You will like it here, just not as much as you would have in a Hawker. Good luck. The "X" type is a handful too. Welcome to NetJets.

Man, I don't think anything can bring me down at this point. The thing is, I like to work hard and fly. I don't like rotting in an FBO. Also, flying such a unique airplane and going faster than everything else out there does have it's appeal. I used to fly Caravans on 5 hour legs with passengers and barely get anywhere. At least 5 hours at .92 means you are actually down the road a bit.

Trust me, I've read ALL of the posts about how much "work" the X does etc. etc. I don't care. It's an incredible airplane and will go places, both of which appeal to me. From what I hear the Sovereign is picking up a lot of the recovery and starting to eclipse (no pun intended) the X in that department. I hear from a lot of X guys that it doesn't work as hard as everyone thinks it does. To me, the best info comes from the guys that fly the airplane.

Anyway, Hawker, X, Ultra, whatever. I'm just glad to be starting indoc on April 7th at such an awesome company!!

P.S. - As far as the type rating is concerned, I'm ready. I enjoy a good challenge, another reason why I came to NetJets. Bring it on.

I just finished my X type in CMH - while it is a long course compared to the other fleets it isn't that difficult. The hardest part is keeping the different models and their limitations separate. Welcome aboard and congratulations!

It sounds like it was a bad move on my behalf to turn down the interview. I was excited about the interview but the phone interview questions turned me down on the job despite its perks and $$$. After thinking about it for a few days I finally emailed them telling them "thanks, but no thanks. I dont think Im what you are looking for" I just don't think that time of flying is for me. Good luck to all of you guys who just got hired there!
