3 years at FDX. Is NJI hiring those with a G4 type?

Netjets is certainly a great gig but one needs to realize that the 6 month upgrades of yore have gone out the window. It will take a new hire a solid 4-5 years to upgrade at this point, certainly something one would want to think about before leaving the left seat of a major/legacy.
From what I gather, NJA is going to start trying to recruit some younger blood anyways (too many crusty guys working there that forgot what the notion of retirement was all about).

Hi!

Since you're at UAL, that's another thing to consider.

Their bankruptcy plan was based on $50/barrel of oil for the next 5 years, and I don't think they have any real plan except to merge.

I didn't apply at UAL just because of the above reasons.

Then maybe they should write congress, and try to get a mandatory retirement age implemented. I would suggest age 60, it's always worked...

NJI is essentially done hiring off the street. There are several waiting in the pool and a few with inside juice waiting for the next (and last) interview group. As of November '08, all NJI positions will be filled by pilots already employed by NJA with at least 5000 hours and 2 years with the company that are awarded a bid on the G-IV.

I have heard that we have around 100 pilots that left US Air after their merger with AmWest

Good one......The change can only slow the tide of pilots exiting for the majors.....

Trust me One day of seniority matter :(

So you have 3 years with FDX and would consider leaving for NJI? Wow!!!!!!! What are the factors if you don't mind me asking.

I'm an FO with almost 10 years seniority at a cargo major. I'm trying to get hired. I've weighed all the negatives and positives. Far too many positives.

I have 11,000 hours, 3,000 jet, and tons of turbine PIC, I hope I'm competetive from what I'm reading on these boards!!!
