Just wondered what the latest was at Netjets? What base could you get hired on the quickest, and what planes are they hiring most for right now. I've got about 400 hours PIC in the Encore, would that limit me to that airplane as a new hire?

It seems like those who want to be based in Columbus or LA get called the soonest after submitting the application. The last few classes have had new hires assigned to the Beechjet (Hawker 400), Ultra, Encore, Excel (and XLS), Sovereign, X, G200, and Hawker 800. Basically everything but the Falcon and the BBJ. I don't think there is much consideration for your past experience when assigning you an aircraft. In my class there was a guy who had around 9,000 hours in a Hawker 800 and he was assigned the Excel.
Just a quick tip: when they call to offer you the job, they may or may not offer you a choice of aircraft with potentially different class dates. If you plan on staying here for a long time, choose the earliest class. It could make a big difference when it's time to upgrade, and because of the large raise associated with upgrading, you could potentially be costing yourself a ton of money if you give up dozens of seniority numbers while waiting for a specific aircraft type.

Good luck.
