bases at Netjets
How does the basing work? For example, if I am based in BUF and I am beginning 7 on, do I stay at home until they call me or do they send me off somewhere on day 1 and come back on day 7? Will all the bases give me a little more time at home or does that just mean I don't have to commute to work on my own? Hope my question makes sense.
Thanks |
Yes, is the answer to all your questions except the first. Sometimes you get lucky and have a "home show" day one. I've been lucky enough to stay home on day 2 once or twice. Most of the time you leave on day one and return day 7. If you live close to a popular airport like LAX, VNY, PBI, or TEB, you will make it home mid tour for a night. There is not really a typical day here. The job is extremely fluid. Some days the schedule will change every 20 minutes and the only commonality with the last version is your name is attached somewhere. I hope that helps.

You will get a brief on your blackberry the night before that tells you what the plan for tomorrow will be. It will probably change. You will always start and end in BUF. Anything in between will be taken care of by scheduling and travel.

Thanks all.

NJA Bases that offer the most nights at home
Does a TEB base make the most sense (other than CMH) to maximize your nights at home?

Lets say that during the interview you dont request any particular base. Would that look extremely favorable in the eyes of the panel? I thought I read somewhere that you can change bases within 30 days. Fact/Fiction.

How does using sick days affect your schedule? Let's say you scheduled to leave Monday morning for a 7 day tour. You come down with a bad case of the flue and can't fly for a couple of days. Will they send you out for the remaining five days? What if you get sick mid-tour? Do they send you home early? How does this affect your pay?

You will most likely be sent out mid tour if you banged in sick at the beginning. I've had two day tours in the past- uncommon, but they will try to use you. If mid tour you have the choice of trying to get better at a hotel and continuing if you do, or going home. If you were on duty at least 4 hours (I'm not sure the exact amount) you don't lose sick time for that day, but every other day you are off will come out of your sick bank.
