Right now im a CFI with just about 1200 tt, 170 multi, I have an MBA, and BS in management, and am very flexible as far as where i can be based. I'm looking to progress to some sort of part 135 charter or cargo service, possibly in florida, and build up the necessary time requirements to apply to NJ. I understand the job market right now, so i know it will be years away, im just wondering if CFI to freight/charter is a natural experience building flow for future NJ pilots? I have talked to a couple of NJ pilots here at my school and they said that hiring can practically be at minimums if you have the right personality and fit, and they come from various backgrounds. To sum up, what should i do now early in my career to enhance my chances of getting on board with Net Jets?
sorry for long post
I feel your pain. I fly for a corporate flight department. I have 1600tt and 450 multi. I too want to go to NJA. My company has a 182 w/G1000, a G58 Barron, and a King Air 350. Right now I fly the 182 and the Barron. Dont give up the hope. Keep your chin up. We will get there. I hope to fly with you one day we when we are both wearing gold ties. Take care.
