Been lurking on these boards for awhile now and haven't seen this one come up. How much night flying/overnighting do you typically fly at NetJets? A lot, a little, or hardly ever? Not asking about landing/ending your duty day at midnight, but rather flying all night and seeing the sunrise after a few hours airborne.

I'm sure NJI and the BBJs do some of that when they go to Europe and Asia. The Falcon-Easy probably sees some of that as well.

I'm on the Hawker 800 XPC, hardly ever....

UCLA,
What is a typical 7-day schedule like?

LineTroll

We get a lot of Net Jets here at BFI and our last group of NJ usually come in around 10 o clock with a lot of 5-6am stages. Ocasionally there will be one or two in the middle of the night.

typical for a Hawker dude:

Airline first day, meet up with your partner, preflight the a/c, and either do a ferry flight-get into position for the following day, or you'll sit at the FBO for 3-4 hrs, on stby, then hotel. Go flying for 5 days, you'll average about 3 legs (daily)- 10-12 hour duty days, lots of sitting between legs. Last day, 80% of the time you'll JUST airline home, no work. Most of the time it works out nicely, get home before 13:00. Sometimes they work you hard, last week I flew 32 hrs. got home past midnight, which by the way you get 2 extra days of pay $$$$$$. It works both ways, most of the time in our favor.

Hotels kick ass, Hyatt/Hilton/Marriot, free breakfast and internet. You get 3 daily meals-free. I used to drop $100-120 on a 4 day trip with the airlines, eventually it adds up.

hope this helps, cheers

Have a buddy in the G200 he just did a flight PDX to San Juan PR. Departed later in the evening and arrived at 1030 am, About 6.5 hours of flight time. Of course I am in the ultra so I don't see any of that

2006 I did one Red-eye: BFI-IAD
2007 I did two Red-eyes: BFI-JFK and BFI-MCO

So far, I've already flown one Red-eye for 2008: BFI-Bermuda (that was a long night -- those Seattle folks seem to like the Red-eye flights -- must be all that coffee they drink!)

All 4 flights departed around 10 or 11pm and landed on the east coast at dawn.

FWIW I'm in the Citation X.

Correction, if the company doesn't get you to your base by midnight on your 7th day its an extra 3 days pay not 2 days, that's $938 for a first year FO on a 7 on 7 off schedule.

NJA Capt

It's 2 days according to Sect 19.8
Do you have a reference for a 3rd day?

NetJets_DA2Easy

2 extended days is 3 days pay
