NJA Hiring

[B +]

I heard NJA had 75 FLY-I guys coming in for interviews this month.

The NJA pilot recruiters spent Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday interviewing FLY-I pilots at IAD this week. They had 72 scheduled and added as many walk-ins as they could. I would estimate 150-200 interviews were conducted.

I interviewed on Monday and am hoping to get a call very soon. I have not heard of anyone getting a call yet.

From all the posts here and talking to several pilots I knew at Indy that got on at NJA I think NJA sounds like a great place to be.

Keeping my fingers crossed and trying to BEE POSITIVE!

Wow....that's A LOT of people. I wonder how that will affect the training sked?

Baja.

Get in line early.

And when it comes to IOE, the company gives priority to PIC's over SIC's, so that can add to the wait for a new-hire.

But you stay on full pay while you're waiting, correct?

I was under the impression it was fully pay, hotel, and per diem from day 1...?

Thanks!

full pay, benefits, everything starting day one. hotel everything, per diem everything, EVERYTHING

 

[Going2Baja]

Now when you say "Everything" do you really mean.................

I'll give you the number to Sirens.

200 bucks for a shirt and a free lapdance. You can't beat that.

 

[Guitar Guy]

And be sure to visit Yanni's before you walk over to Siren's. The ladies just love the aroma of garlic... from what I hear.

Just interviewed today. 521 is the number. Derinda said they interviewed 120 FLY I guys the last 3 days and she's been sick the whole time. We were told a year to a year and a half upgrades with the 200 confirmed aircraft orders and hiring trend. We'll see...sounds optimistic to me

Let me be the first to call BS on that one.

Let me be the first to call BS on that one.

Why is that BS??
Still a long way to go on the 50/50 C680s
50/50 on G150s
50 Hawker 4000 (Horizons
50/50 on the 400XP
Still taking XLSs and EXs.
We should have 200 orders without exercising options.

I gotta agree with that. Even the 2-3 years I have heard seems a bit optimistic.

I think upgrade at NetJets will be far faster than any major with the possible exception of JetBlue. When I compare the airlines and their cutthroat competition to the fractionals I can't even get excited about going to JB.

Just remember to BEE POSITIVE.

Is this a Riddle?

2500 plus a few hundred at NJI

Can you expand on what your saying here?

 

[gunfyter]

There are 2500 pilots currently on our seniority list... plus there are a few hundred at NJI that are not on the list.

I am not sure what more to say. There is no riddle.

 

[Lear70]

I guess he/she is probably asking if the NJI people will ever come over on the list and where they'd fall and how they'd affect upgrade plans.

That would be my question too, but I already had it partially answered by another NJA guy but I'm always interested on someone else's take on the situation.

Last time in was in CMH, the Embassy Suites key got the cover waived at the door at Sirens.

I think if they come over they will have a fence... and will not affect upgrade times.

 

[Twotter76]

Just a side note here - current senority (as of 1-13) list shows 2256 pilots not 2500. Not sure how many people are at NJI.

Jeez, so on any given day there are approx. 500 NetJets crews flying? Seems like I sure don't hear them that often.
