I was just curious to see how many pilots on this board are still waiting for an interview with Netjets along with domicile choice and when their application was accepted.

I'll start! My application was accepted in late June and PBI was my choice.
 
Sent my application in late September. App accepted 10/17. I said that I could accept any domicile, but ranked them DAL, LAX,PBI, CMH, TEB. 2800TT, 2400 multi, 1150 turbine PIC (121), ATP.
 
Accepted 11/7
Still waiting

Ranked all the domiciles, but CMH, TEB, and DAL were my first three picks.
 
Accepted 11/7
still waiting
CMH,TEB,DAL

Which acceptance dates are getting interviews?

App accepted 6/29
PBI first choice
Email from Derinda 11/27:
Rick,

I have been slowly moving through the applicants requesting PBI domicile. Your application was received on 6/29 and I am offering interviews to 6/1…I am almost there. I appreciate the double check and hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend.


I'd say we're close...see ya there!
 
Do they base the interview calls on your first choice?

For example I put TEB as my first choice, but I would be more than willing to go to CMH (my 2nd choice). Are they just gonna throw me in the TEB pile until an opening comes up there?
 
Have a friend get his accepted in Dec., called next day, and has Jan interview. Still don't know how they pick'em. Sorry.

Is he looking for the LAX base as his first choice? I waited about 4 months for an interview with TEB as my first choice, but I work with a guy who got an interview within a few weeks of application accepted with LAX as his first choice.
 
FWIW...
The hiring for the PBI domicile seems slow... My sim partner from the Nov 8th interview got hired but his indoc will not be until early April.

I had LAX for my first choice, here's my timeline:

Emailed resume- approx 6/20/06
Updated every 3 weeks
Received application late September, overnighted back 2 days later
Application Accepted email 2-3 weeks later
Interview Email approx Oct 20
Interview Nov 8th
Congrats Nov 29/30
Class Jan 8th

Sweating it out's just part of the game! Good luck everyone!

I think his first was DAL but not sure. It really depends on more than that but they do want to put people in their first choice. Why? Because unlike most places that make a business out of flying airplanes, NJA really wants you to be happy. (also it is cheaper if people don't jump arround all the time but that gets into the whole domicile thing)

I wish I could give you something more solid than that but I really can't.

If you get an internal recommendation (especially from a pilot) that really helps. The more the better.

How did you finish that college thesis application of theirs in two days? Notarized, etc?
 
I finished the app in just over a day. If you've got your background info in order and your logbooks up-to-date, it's not too bad of an app. Now if your state's DMV/BMV is a nightmare to deal with, that might slow you up.
 
Like Guitar Guy says, not too bad. And don't let the local DMV hold you up. When I did mine last year, Derinda said send in everything along with a letter stating that you will fax them the driving record as soon as you get it.

Good luck.
 
app mailed out on 9/25
app accepted email 10/17 still waiting....
Domicile picks were CMH,LAX,TEB,PBI,DAL
 
Application approved in May or June 2006 for PBI. Still waiting for anything else.
 
Jack,

Did the e-mail specify which domicile you would be interviewing for?

I received an interview invite for CAL yesterday, but I'm thinking I would prefer Netjets so hopefully I'll get an e-mail real soon!

The email says they are hiring for all domiciles, and includes a domicile preference form to fill out for the interview. Doesn't necessarily mean they are hiring into all domiciles though. My top pick in my full application was LAX.
 
Anyone with LAX is a top priority 'rat' now.

This month and next LAX is the only openings.

Also, NetJets has developed a little pool of waiting pilots now. So it may take even longer than before.

Don't worry though. NetJets says they are going to hire 250 plus pilots this year. And if the last 3 years are an indicator. They will hire over 3 time that many.

Good Luck to you ALL.

Still waiting for that PDX domicile...

I'm waiting to be based at home (a large city) as well. However at my current job there is no good way to even live on the west coast, so perhaps the best way to deal with it is get on with NetJets now and hope that more cities will open with the next contract. I'm not thrilled with the current domicile system but I can live with it for a while.
 
It is one thing to commute and deal with it, but it is another to get on and hope things will change. The next contract won't be ratified (realistically) until the end of 2011 or earliy 2012. I suggest that you think real hard before make the jump. You will need to be happy at this job or you will not like it.
 
Hey all,

I will add my quick update for those of you who are still waiting. Got the application accepted e-mail on 11/7 and I just recieved the interview invite today 01/12. E-mail says that they are hiring into all domiciles. Hope this helps.

Exciting Times!!
 
I forgot to mention that the interviews that were offered were for Feb 8/9 as well as Feb 28/29. The email also stated that these interviews were for classes that were scheduled for March and April.
