To say your summary is unnecessarily negative is an understatement.
Order coming(s) soon.
This order will push NJA well past its current size but it will take a few years. The current order is to reshuffle and replace all current fleet numbers while reducing to 7 types from 20. NetJets will hire for that growth when needed. If NJA is concentrating on maximizing sales of and modernizing the current fleet, why would it hire more pilots so they can sit around? But that's a tough business decision Jetlife. [emoji848]
And we aren't talking Phenoms either. The stuff coming will be exciting.
The training center will be equipped and staffed by that point, the deliveries will be on schedule and you'll be enjoying your red eyes. Still.

That literally has nothing to do with what he asked or my response to it.
Training center will be staffed? Wow you have lots of power if you can make that happen, because even CMH FSI employees are abused by NetJets and leave the first chance they get, how's Global training going, I know they had to defer training in there because everyone at FSI got their type and bailed.
To further answer the question I quoted in the first place (my statement was completely correct but FLYLOW22 just cannot let anyone say anything realistic about the company).The company had a stack of 6,000 resumes when I got hired, 2 years later (2017) they have 2500. The percentage of people that end up interviewing after being selected by HRis less than 50%, I think it was like 48%. If I remember it was something like 175 were given a call, 80 interviewed, 40 hired. Something like that. That doesn't show WHY, just the what. For a while, NJA had trouble filling classes after offering class dates. so that number dwindling down to 40 hired last year (which didn't cover attrition, not even close) is a combination of people refusing an interview, refusing a job, not being offered an interview, and not being offered a job, and no-showing after being offered a class date.
They lost around 12 this month with no replacements which seems about average. If that holds NJA will lose around 120 pilots, and gain 40. That is on par with last year as well. The net loss for pilots in 2016 was around 80.
As to why people aren't getting calls, nobody knows. There are dozens of guys who have LORs from multiple pilots on property who never got calls. No rhyme or reason to their hiring practices other than they are trying to predict who will leave and who won't, but even those who thought they would stay, or even have stayed longer because they intended on making NJA a career, have left. Even if you think you know that you will make NJA a career, you will have to get hired to see whether or not it is for you, and that is like any job. Unfortunately if you are pegged as somebody with career options and aspirations, they are looking down on your resume.
