#s for this year at NJA?

[ductleak]

Has anyone heard how many NJA will be hiring this year?

Here is the story I got - Did sim recurrent 3 weeks ago:

Called ahead and asked if I could drop off a friends resume and Letter of Rec. Dropped the resume & LOR and started chatting about this-n-that with someone in Pilot Recruitment at Easton; she said anyone who has a résumé with a LOR gets forwarded straight to JM for review. In about 10 days my buddy received an application in the mail. I’m assuming after they receive his application they will call him for a interview – they don’t have as many resumes on file as you think they do!

Make a long story short - they, pilot recruitment, have no idea how many they are going to hire. "We have been authorized to hire in May & June" were her words. With that in mind.....there is more expected to come - the Chiefs just aren't telling the Indians how many and when.

From 3-rd party information I've heard around 230 for 04' which would make sense when you plan for attrition/91k/net airplane growth.

Hey Duct,

Did you get hired at NJA? What's the word? If so, do you know which fleet?

stupid questions

Please bear with. I've got a bunch of buds at NJ and am leaving the military in about 8 mos.

Is it too early to apply?

What is 91k?

thanks

We have read, being acquainted with a NetJet Pilot and a letter of recommendation will assist in getting the coveted interview. I don't know any NJ pilots so how I do I get the interview with out the letter of recommendation. I fly with a part 91 operator, and am struggling to make ends meet with three children, mortgage and other assorted bills. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi!


Flight Options is hiring and the pay is better (hopefully for the NetJets pilots, not for long!).

Any suggestions?

FLEXJET is another option. If you want to work at NJA, plan on making $27,000/year for a long time and spending half your life away from home working 14 hour days with 10 hours off in between. Still want the job?

a job starting at $27K with the rumor of an offer of a 5% raise on the table...


Whooooppeee!

That 5% offer barely made it across the table as I hear it. It fell dead halfway across and was DOA. The current spread is supposedly WELL along it's way to the 100% we are all championing for. According to a littel birdy anyway. Hope the birdees right or this T/A will be DOA.

gunfyter,

It's time for you to smell the coffee and wake up!

The MONEY will be here soon, and will be the best in the fractionals.

ATPcliff,
you say the pay at flops is better, well not really, they work a month more a year then we do.
Our 7 and 7 to there 8 and 6.

Plus I just made an extra $802.00 for an extra half day. That's right, they didn't get me home by fourteen so I was paid. And I made some nice overtime as well. There's some nice soft money to be made here.

Also, I don't have time to go over the outstanding new Benefits that were just approved. Second to none!!!

91k is the new set of regulations that Fractionals will have to operate with in 2005. The REALLY GOOD part about the reg for us pilots is the PROSPECTIVE REST requirements of the regulation. They state that you have to have 10 hours of rest BEFORE any duty assignment.

Well, we currently get 10 hours of rest AFTER any duty assignment... How is 91k better you ask? Currently, after our rest is over, we enter this LIMBO land of neither duty or rest. Imagine if your rest was over at 6am, but there was nothing on your schedule the entire next day. Hang around the hotel, grab your free greasy breakfast, go over to the mall, work out, watch some TV, have some dinner, get ready for bed.... POOF an ASAP duty assignement to fly a transcon with 1 hour notice. Hey, you had your rest last night! Why do you need it again? Silly pilot....

Under the new rule, you will have to have 10 hours of rest BEFORE any duty assignement. That hypothetical day above, would not happen, or at least you'd have 10 hours of notice before your show time to at least grab a nap.

Yes, backside of the clock flying will still happen, but 91k will cause the need for more pilots because the companies are losing flexibility to ASAP any old crew to cover a trip. They have to plan ahead now. Good luck.

Please bear with. I've got a bunch of buds at NJ and am leaving the military in about 8 mos.

Well... Some call it losing flexibility. I call it increasing the level of accountability on managements part.
