What is standby? Is that done sitting at a hotel?

Do-82 You whine like a big haired jersey street girl.

Of course the XL has more cycles than the X. How many times do you have to stop going to the west coast?

Of course the XL has more cycles than the X it's a short leg HPN-ACK airplane.

Of course the plane is working harder than the encore/ultra the pax love them because of the cabin and apu for just a little more money.

Of course the XL has more cycles. Most of the italians that fly it are overweight and can only suck it in for so long. When they run out of that they have to let the belly out and it's time to land.

Oh and a X's Rolls Royce engines are whisper quiet. Nice big quiet engines with lots of bleed air. Enjoy the booted tail!

by the way ask your CP how many hours each fleet is flying. Apples to apples.

In case you haven't realized more cycles mean more pax and more pax to clean up after and more work you have to really do.

Given that Dart had the choice between the X and the 2000, how hard does the 2000 fleet work relative to the X fleet?

I know that the 2000 flies more international (I presume a lot of Hawaii and some Europe) but given its range and performance numbers, it must fly quite a bit too. I would imagine that the 2000 would also fly mulitple legs per day and some long transcon flights during each tour like the X.

It's true that the flight deck on the 2000 is more ergonomic and having a flight attendant on board the 2000 would reduce pilot workload as well, but the flight profile and schedule has to be pretty similar to the X - right? Unless the X covers for more of the smaller, more popular aircraft like the XL, Ultra and Beechjet. I would imagine the 2000 would cover for similar sized or bigger aircraft like the Gulfstreams (G200 and GIV/V). Is the 2000 schedule typically as hectic as the X?

 

[Diesel]

The 2000's don't really do much international to europe. They don't quite have the legs and the trips are just upgraded to GIV's because they are usually headed that way anyway.

The X's and 2000's do a lot of hawaii. The X's do some europe but not much.

If i were you I would have chosen the 2000 knowing that you'll be sitting there for a while. Might as well have an easy life while you're at it. The 2000 just doesn't work as much as the X. Plus the FA makes life a lot easier and your job is just in the cockpit.

Is there any reason to scheduling? It doesn't look like it according to Diesels post.

I second the thanks to all who post about life/interviews at NJA. Well... I interviewed with Dart and also had the choice of a/c. I too picked the X for the earlier class date. To me, seniority is everything in a hiring boom. I'll enjoy the X for a couple of years, and then we'll see what happens.

Hey, Dart. I emailed you and the rest of the interview group. Shoot me an email, and we'll get together. You and I only live an hour apart, man!

 

[Dart]

Cool! Which guy in the group are you? PM me.

[IH8UserNames]

Hi guys...I was there too...I'm just waiting till Monday to find out which airplane I got. I only had a message on my answering machine. If you guys are from my interview group, you already received my email explaining this.
See you all soon!

[SafetyTheSeat]

The X is to small to be a class 3...

 

[flyfish]

How is life in the 2000? I think that would be the cat's a$$ to fly.

Right now, I can't imagine having a much better job in aviation. Great flying airplane, great crews, go's just about the right distance, and the customers are a pleasure to fly. What more can I say?

 

[needsumluv]

what are you future fleet projections and how many to hire in 06 07 08

 

[Dart]

Something was said about the Legacy. Only if the embrear can keep up with orders.

 

[208starcheck]

Hiring in 06 is 700-750 pilots. I'm not sure how they are going to do this but that is the number. I haven't heard about 07, 08. Actually I haven't heard a time line on the 700-750. Maybe the 700-750 is over the next 3 years. Everyone I talk to is under the impression that number is for 2006.

I do know we are getting 115-118 aircraft in 2006. Some of those will be replacements for retired aircraft.

 

[Grizz]

I talked with one of the senior management types in operations on Friday and he said 350-400 in 2006. It currently would be impossible for NetJets to train 750 new pilots in one year.

 

[DO-82 driver]

Diesel....you have some anger issues......Maybe you're flying the fastest civilian, jet in the world to compensate for other "short-comings"......

All the same.....you'll always be welcomed in my home....because..."you make me laugh!!!!! Now dance Spider...dance!!!!"
