NetJets Europe
I've been searching around for information on NetJets Europe and haven't found much of anything on the forum.
I've been flying with the Army over in Germay for going on five years and have the minimum flight experience the company web page is asking for. My wife is German and isn't too thrilled about the stateside fractional lifestyle while she seems to be ok with with 6 on 5 off schedule here where she is closer to her family.
The web site is very informative and I'm sure the flying is exactly the same as across the pond (just more exciting destinations like Nice, Dubrovnik and Venice), but I'd like some first hand knowledge if it is out there on any of the following: competitive experience, taxes, expat lifestyle, future growth, bennefits, unplanned extensions to your schedule, etc.
We are going to start reserching the work rules for and resident visa requirements and I've been looking at the JAA ATPL requirements so I'm still several ginormous steps away from being ready to apply. I've got eighteen months left in the Army so there is time but it is ticking away.
Thanks in advance for any information.

You'll need a JAA ATP, European passport, and European medical just to be looked at. I hear the whole convertion process takes around 4 years, and anywhere from $15,000-$20,000...... Here in the States, NetJets is one of the best jobs around, nobody is going anywhere. On the other side of the pond, seems like NJE is still a stepping stone, the "majors" remain the ultimate goal for most, and as long as they don't get the pay, they'll continue to loose guys to the airlines. Seems less competitive on the other side.
I've talked to a couple of their guys, they want to come here and work so they can live in "Miami, Orlando, Phoenix, or San Francisco". Seems like the grass is always greener on the side.

NetJets Europe has right now a contract with Oxford Aviation in UK to train ab-initio pilots from 0 to 250 hours and get a right seat job with NetJets.

I applied having a European citizenship and a JAA ATPL. I was denied for not having enough "European experience". Go figure.
