Q: For Ex-airline guys at NetJets

Company provides parking. A moving target in the current transition period. Any way you end up parking, it should be zero out of pocket.

One question about domiciles; maybe I'm just not deciphering the contract well...

If I get hired, I'd like to go to PBI. But I live about 150 miles from TEB right now, and I'm in an apartment lease until September. Could I get TEB off the bat, and get re-based in PBI when my lease runs out? And if I do that, can I wait until then to get my one-shot moving expense?

Thanks to all you guys for the good info; it's really a big help.

The way I read it, there is no mechanism for new-hires to change Domiciles. New-hires will "report to a Domicile (or satellite airport when applicable) as directed by the Company, until such time as the crewmember is eligible to use a Home Base Airport." However, you will be eligible for moving expenses once during your employment (I guess assuming you are awarded HBA in the future, move, then later elect to move to a Domicile). You might want to clarify that at the interview, and get it in writing if they agree to it.

If you want to see your family you could always use a webcam. Not exactly the same thing but more then a voice.

NJA Blackberry

Is the Blackberry you get also a cell phone? Can you use the Blackberry for personal email/phone use? Would you still need a separate cell phone? What are it's capabilities?

Thanks..

From my husband....yes it does email and some of the pilots use it for that, but you should be aware that it goes through the company's server--thus is not private. There is phone capability as well, but it wasn't intended for the pilot's personal use. It seems that they allow incidental use, however, and would not frown on a short phone call home once a day. If you plan to chit-chat you'll need your own cell phone. I hope that helped.

I've got a friend who is testing the system by using his Blackberry for a full time cellphone. So far he hasn't heard anything from the company and it's been 4 or 5 months. He doesn't use a tremendous amount of minutes so maybe that's why.

So it would seem. I gathered from my husband that it was abuse of the arrangement that would not be tolerated. It is reasonable for pilots to check with those at home to may sure there are no problems in their absence. As with lots of things in life, the actions of a few can ruin a good deal for the many. Please don't let that be the case. If you talk a lot, carry your own phone.
