Whats it gonna take...to get hired

[Photoflight]

Any of you guys getting hired by the fractional operators recently care to share your time's. Any of you hiring guys out there care to let someone know what "competitive" times are. I'm coming up on my 2500 and my have a lead on a couple of decent non-fractional gigs....1 freight, 1 charter but both of these would be second to getting on with a good fractional operator where I feel I could start a career of some sort instead of this year to year BS.

I know I should hit the mins then apply but what are you guys seeing when guys are actually getting the invite to interview.

Well I interviewed at NetJets last week and from what I was told, as long as you meet the minimums, they WILL interview you. Time isn't as important as other background factors such as customer service. I was on the junior side of time... 3800 total, NO PIC turbine, but about 1800 of flight instruction time and 1600 SIC turbine. The entire interview (50 minutes) was all about my background. Previous jobs, and their customer service aspects of it, along with things I do in my time off. I think as long as you meet the minimums, you have a great shot of being interviewed. Just make sure you have more to offer them than a logbook full of flight hours. Good Luck! PM me if you want more details. Cheers

The same at Flex. I met a fellow just the other day that started with us about 3 months ago with 2504 hrs. Send your stuff out, you will get called.
