Huh???

 

[honeycomb]

I'm told (2nd hand info remember) that Derinda says 2 years to upgrade at a very recent interview.

She is predicting that it will be in the U-boat or the Haaaaak'ker (darn that doesn't role off the ole tongue) 400XP.

Anyway, again for what its worth.

I was once told I would upgrade at Eagle in 2 years. Six years later I left still a FO.

You turned down NetJets to end up at Avantair? There must be more to that story!

I was hired just under 6,000 hours total time. I was the low time guy out of 6 of us. The class average was around 9,000 tt. Everyone in that class will be looking to upgrade in seniority order within the first 12 months.

No shortcuts for us and no shortcuts for you.

Realistic pay; I don't know. I get $2.00 per hour for seven days of a trip that happens twice a month. 24 x 7 x 2 x 2 = 672. Add that to your salary, subtract tax, fica, health ins, and that's the pay. ya get paid every other week. Direct deposit too.

The latest 560XL upgrades have went to seniority numbers with less than 2 years with NJA.

Question about netjets

I recently applied to netjets about two weeks ago. I sent my resume in with a cover letter. Currently hold just under 5000 TT with 1100 PIC turbine/check airman. Two questions??? Is this competitive and 2??? How long does it take to receive an application. I understand not everyone gets an application form. Do they base their decisions on flight time. I currently fly a BE1900D.
I appreciate any help with these questions.

Fly safe and have a super day.

Don't ever discount the fact you are flying a BE-1900. Be proud of it... flying it is more demanding that a jet.

Your flight time is right on (IMO) to be "competitive". I use the word in relative terms since only recruitment truly knows what cometitive is.

No, "they" do not only look at flight time. There is a squirrelly simulator exam (should be no problem for your hand flown, instrument competency level), personal interviews and some written tests administered over your home computer.

Good luck!

How does the domicile system work?

How does the domicile system work?

You're hired into one of the 5 current domiciles -- which one you're assigned is part of your job offer, so you'll know when you accept or decline it. Bases are CMH, PBI, LAX, DAL, and TEB. When you start a work week, you'll know by 6pm the night before what time you'll need to report to your base, and what you're doing. Report as directed. That's it.

Even as a "reserve" pilot, you'll still know if/when you're working the next day by 6pm, so you can plan accordingly. You can live anywhere you want, and it's up to you to get to the domicile. (Some guys who are on the 7-on/7-off schedule will buy a discount airline ticket well ahead of time to arrive the night before, since they know what days they're working. I'm about a 2.5 hour drive away from my base, so I just do that.)

A 1900D is not a bad thing at all. I know of a lot of NJA pilots who came from the 1900D, including myself. So don't feel that your background in the mighty Beech is a detriment. In fact, Derinda came to NJA from a regional that operated 1900's, so she well understands where you are coming from.

As for your specific questions, your flight time is competitive and being a check airman should be a plus and give you something else to talk about during the interview. As for getting an app, keep submitting updates online if you don't receive an app fairly quickly. Also, internal recommendations are a plus.

Good luck to you.

I submitted an resume 8 days later had application sent it back 7 days later email accepting it next day interview date and I interviewed yesterday. Derinda said competitive times are meeting minimums. I have 3200 TT and it was a great experience. LAX first choice for me. 2nd was CMH. Still waiting to hear. THey said they are hiring for all domiciles between now and April. There will be three classes. Also pretty much every airplane except BBJ, & Falcon.

 

[doylehargraves]

I can't believe with 5000TT and 1100 PIC Turbine you ask if you are competitive at NJ??? Go to Fedex or swa man.
