nja -- hiring!

[ductleak]

Heard from someone in hr today -- expect hiring to resume this summer or even early spring !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[buttercup]

Yipeee

Get your resumes in for that big $28,000 a year job where you can be away from home half the month!! But what the hell, you'll be flying a jet. If you have a friend that works at Netjets..and he is a TRUE friend not an acquaintance.. he/she will refuse to write you a recommendation and lead you down another path

 

[buttercup]

Listen to AS!! AS has been on strike before, AS has been through a contract before.. and AS realizes that the only way the pilot group is going to get respect at Netjets from management is to either go on strike, or convince management that a strike is imminent. All this smoke and mirrors about a contract being inked is BS!!

NetJets

I wish some of these guys would just lay off NetJets - a good company, about to get a whole lot better. Name one place with the potential? Go ahead, one?

By the way, starting salary is $27,000 (at least for now).

 

[Gulfstream 200]

yup, netjet guys NEED to make way more money for how hard they work, no doubt.

but dont you think a guy is going to know this going into it? and NetJets sure seems like a better deal than any regional airline or 135 charter rat job....Most Netjets guys here or that I have met seem to like the job all in all. That says a lot.

Now, I certainly wouldn't persue the job based on that "contract" that has been around the corner for years...take the job based on current conditions.

If you can live with that, you may just be happy....and happier if and when improvements come along.

as_, maybe he didn't get hired??

 

[Diesel]

as did get hired here and is still working here. As long as they can still shoehorn him into an X.

He is right in some respect. There are guys out there who would work for peanuts just to fly a jet. Then complain when they've got the time that the pay sucks.

This happens at the regionals all the time.

 

[ductleak]

I am just excited that I can interview there... I am flying a jet and have been for a while now. Commuting is not great and family is everything and now, I do not spend a lot of time with them and I am leaning your way to improve QOL here... It is bad everywhere you go today -- it is all about perspective!

 

[OPECJet]

Any ideas what the mins will be?

 

[atpcliff]

Hi!

Having 1/2 a month off sounds great!!!

WHere do I sign up? THe schedule would be a big improvement for me, but the pay is less.

Ummm... do you always refer to yourself in the third person? Scaaarrrryyyy... "The Copymeister... makin' copies... The Copster KNOWS copies..."

Dude, I'm just kidding... give 'em hell, you guys have waited long enough for a kick-a*s contract!

NetJet Mins

Minimums are posted on thier website: 2500 TT
They accept 1.2 for military and all helo time - I was an Army Rotorhead, they seemed to like us, at least in the U-Boat and XL.

 

[Diesel]

Don't wory though most "rotorheads" go into the XL. The PM of the XL is an ex military guy who stacks the deck. It's pretty much a closed shop over there. Of course he HATES unions so you have that going for you.

But he did get spanked on a firiing so I guess it's a draw.

I wish NJA had a union position or union rep at the interview, like some places do. If we did, I would hope that guys just looking for a place to fly a jet would be rejected on the spot. I think that the influx of furloughed airline guys and guys from defunct airlines who have ALPA expererience (be it good or bad) was the best thing that the NJA pilot group could have happen. There are far too many GA weenies at NJA, guys who got hired with the bare mins, with no 121 or 135 experience under their belts, who think NJA is the end all of aviation. I know because I'm tired of flying with them. When I get paired up with an ex airline guy, it sure is a nice week.

 

[buttercup]

Flex,


You hit the nail right on the head brotha!! The ex-airline guys are our greatest asset!! I've never had an ex-airline guy tell me he'd be willing to accept less than 100 percent retro. On the opposite end of the spectrum I've flown with worthless a@@holes who think 5ok a year flying a jet is great!! I even flew with one guy that said that if they paid him 90k to fly a Citation X that would be great and he said he wouldn't need retro at that point. If I wasn't at work I wouldf have spit in his face!!

Union rep should always be there

I wish NJA had a union position or union rep at the interview, like some places do. If we did, I would hope that guys just looking for a place to fly a jet would be rejected on the spot.

Flex,

I believe that there is an "active" union member on every hiring board. Most of them are probably instructors/check airmen. Did anyone out there interview with management only?
