-Middle of the ranks, like my little Hawker800, 35-50.
-Ultra/Beech Jet, not many. I've heard every aircraft we have is sold out, except the Beech Jet and Ultra. There's even a waiting list in for some aircraft. I imagine the Beech Jet does a lot of "search and rescue" (recovery flights).

As far as 1st day, you'll leave in the morning most of the time. Typical day, you airline, pick a ship, and do a repo flight for the next day. Sometimes you'll just airline, and sometimes you'll do 2 or 3 legs after the airline. Last day, 4 out of 5 times, I'm home before 3:00 p.m. Every now and then, you'll be home before 11:00 a.m. But it can also work the other way, get home at 11;30 p.m. hope this helps you

As for the bags, pilots can always tip the rampers for throwing the bags. All tips are reimbursed by Netjets. If there are no rampers present or willing to do the job, put on your jacket and gut it out...

So then which equipments do senior people prefer to stay on, the most popular, the middle of the ranks, or the Ultra/Beech jets seeing how pay also factors into what you fly?

Also how difficult does it really get when you are battling the elements as you “throw luggage?” I’m just curious as to how pilots handle it, especially with the kind of blizzards that’s hit some part of the country; and also how they handle rainy days. Is it a factor or a non-factor for most?

I heard a new rumor that since the new TA, NetJets competitive hiring mins are 6000 total and 3000 jet. Is this true or just a rumor? I'm currently in the interview pool and nowhere close to that. Just a little concerned. Thanks for any insight you can shed on this subject.

I know someone who received the "application received" email at the end of November and has an interview mid January. I think the person doing the internal rec may weigh alot in how fast you get interviewed. His total time is somewhere around 2800 hours, all corporate experience...
