Don't let ANY background restrict your application to Netjets. We have many, many, pilots here that had NO jet experience when they were hired. If you have the hiring mins numbers, send in an application, and be sure to update regularly.
 
I came from a Beech 1900 operator to NJA. There are a bunch of pilots here that were turboprop-only before coming here, either from a 121, 135 or 91 background.

The name may say "Jets" but you don't have to have a jet background, you just have to meet the stated minimums.

Good luck to you.
 
2500hrs flying at riddle?????? There has to be more to that story.

I know back in my time as a flight instructor, most regionals wanted 2500tt, so I had 2500 and 200 multi before my job first regional job.

Not sure what his delay was.
 
Yeah but those days haven't been around for a while. You can get hired at a regional with less than a 1000 now.
 
I know a pilot at nja that start with 0 turbine. started in 2001, making a lot of money now.

i have friends that make 40k instructing european airline studenst. they don't want to do the reagional thing and will probably apply directly to netjets.

What are competative mins at netjets?
 
Competitive will probably be some sort of experience flying passengers around in multi-engine airplanes. 2500 is the min, but most hired have a lot more (lots of retired airline pilots) and lots of guys from the regionals who had a lot more, though some do get hired at the mins. Unless your friends had a descent amount (probably at least 500 hours) of airline, cargo, charter, or corporate flying (or military flying) before they got their current instuctor jobs, I think they are gonna have a hard time getting hired at NetJets, even if a lot of their instuctor time is multi.

I wish everyone luck who wants to come here, but I do think it's unlikely to get hired straight out of instructing. I made a lot more instructing than I did flying air ambulance or for the regionals until I was a captain, but I knew I was gonna have to do something else to get where I wanted to go, so I saved up a bunch while instructing so I could afford the pay hit to do something else. Your friends are lucky they have such good instructing jobs, but eventually they will probably have to go get some other kind of experience before they can get hired onto a job that they will want to keep.
