This is a sensitive subject for a couple of reasons:

1-There are many F/Os at NJ who want to go over to NJI, but can't hold a G-IV F/O position. These guys are not happy NJI still hiring off the street when there's a bunch of them eager to go over. I'm not talking about me, I'm prety sure I can hold NJI F/O, but can't afford to do that financially, I gotta wait for a C/A position.

2- I don't blame NJI, they are hiiring guys with some serious experience, and the overwhelming majority are type-rated in the G-IV, G-V or they have a ******* load of int'l experience. One guy I spoke with flew the MD11@ Gemini. When a guy from the Xcel or Hawker goes over to NJI, you gotta train him on several topics, not just the type. If NJI started hiring guys from the regionals, then I would have a huge problem with that.

Like I said, sensitive issue, I see both sides of the coin on this one.

SamFoxPilot, congratulations.
