Pay and Schedules for NetJets new hires?
Can someone in the know please give a brief overview of salary, initial schedule and benefits that a new hire can expect in the first four to six months of employment?
I see that there are three schedule types with three different pay schedules. Which one are you on when you start training and when do you transition to one of your choosing?
During training can a new hire expect to be away from "base" for the entire period of initial training from start to finish? Or does the company provide air travel to and from base during periods of inactivity? (ie. weekends, or down time between indoc, systems and sim)
Of the three schedules, what can a junior pilot expect to hold. Do more senior pilots gravitate towards the 7 on 7 off schedule or the more lucrative (at first glance) 18 day fixed?
Many more questions to come but I think that this is a start.

I believe you are paid the 18 day rate while training. Benefits begin day 1. I don't think they send you home on the off weekends. (Although you do come home after indoc) Flight training start depends on what aircraft they put you in, but I think you get at least 5 days off before it starts ( some have got several weeks)

The 15 day schedule seems to be the most senior. If you can't hold that, you will be able to hold the 7/7 or 18 day. The encore plus is a very small fleet and I don't believe they have the 7/7 option yet.

Sim/ground school is a long time to be away from home, and they will not fly you home. I only had 2 days off (not concurrent) during the 23 days anyway, so don't expect to be traveling. Length of time is fleet dependent, but plan on spending about 2+ to 3 weeks away.
Rental cars are provided, so you're not trapped in the hotel the whole time.

Just curious. Are you better off financially bidding 7/7 and picking up overtime, or 18 days schedule ? Is there a lot of overtime available ?
Also, I am not sure I understand the fundamental difference between the 15 days and 18 days schedule. Could someone explain ? and don't say that the difference is 3 days
Thank you.

However... there's no guarantee you'll get any extended days at all, whereas the 18-day guy is guaranteed to be paid for 18 days each month, albeit at the lower daily rate. And for a 7/7 guy, there's a limit of 5 extended days flown per 4-month bid period.
(1 day on the 7/7 and 1 day on the 18day are the same pay)
