Why don't you widen your search up to and including King Air First Officer and not insult people that have been shoehorning large aircraft into unheard of airports since your first ride in a 737. Netjets doesn't hire directly into the 737 because that's not where you start in corporate. This is just as ridiculous as the threads with 2000 total and 1600 RJ wondering if there is a differences class for the 604. There is a differences class and it is called Part 135 charter. I'm not saying anyone can't fly corporate but I am saying that it has a respectful learning curve. Go to US Air tommorrow and plan your own 1 week 15 stop round the world trip including Airstairs, Baggage Handleing, Fuel Contracting, Catering, Security, maintennance,ect., ect, ect. because it will be required and don't rely on the handlers too much or you will quickly be looking for your second BBJ corporate gig. Until the airlines allow us to count 91 experience to bypass seniority don't expect reciprocating. Just imagine the response I would get in the Majors board if I posted the reverse of this thread.
My company just hired a 20 year Airline guy as a Citation Excel F.O.(Look it up, it's small!) and it's going fair to O.K. but it's got a long way to go.
Good luck and sorry about the merger.
Wow, what a complete tool you are! This guy ask a perfectly normal question and you respond like a total knob. It's a fact of life in this industry that companies like to hire experienced pilots and this guy is experienced in the 737. You think the fact that he's a 121 background means that he should start corporate life in a Kingair?!? Are you mentally disabled ? Let's see now....I bought a 737 for my business or family use....We're obviously not going to be using very small airports in uber-remote areas....So, should I hire a guy with thousands of hours in type or, should I hire a guy whose been flying a Citation/Lear/Hawker etc.... just because he's been in the corporate flying world? And by the way, most "1 week, 15 stop" trips are planned with a
little help from a company like Universal or ARINC. You've been doing this how long? And this is the attitude you have? I bet you're a peach to live with on those trips.
