No one gets hired with "incredibly low" time, unless you consider 2500tt low. Connections don't do much for getting you hired here, it may move your application up the stack, but the offer is based on time/currency/attitude.

Speaking about hours, I know some airlines multiply military hours by a .2 or .3 factor per sortie, depending on the company. Does anyone know any of the fractional companies that do the same? If so, then I can start mailing those things out tomorrow! Otherwise, I'll have to wait a few more months. Thanks for the help.

I believe NetJets uses a 1.3, Citation Shares doesn't use a conversion and Flex is 1.2... Not positiveon these, but it is what I've heard.

A few questions about NetJets. On the pay chart for NetJets, it stops after 5 years for newly hired f/o’s, does that mean that once hired, you pretty much upgrade from the BE-400 and the DA-2000 after 5 years to bigger equipments? Would you be eligible for a f/o seat on the 737 after those 5yrs if there was an open bid or would you have to gain some more time in their heavier equipments? Also do you guys/ gals know anyone who is actually happy flying on reserve, even though they have a good seniority number?

After 5 years there is a COLA adjustment.

Currently FO upgrades are going to smaller aircraft, not larger.

I think it is safe to say that anyone hired today will never see a seat in the BBJ, even as an FO. There are only 3 BBJs and they are EXTREMELY senior.

I believe there is somewhere between 12 to 14 percent of the pilots who are on reserve and I believe less than 10 total who are not voluntarily on the reserve schedule. Most of them do it for the money and know what they are getting themselves into when they sign up for it. A 5th year captain makes about $16000 more per year on reserve and I have flown with a few of those guys who are quite happy to make that much more. I have been on reserve for 5 months and I've only worked the full 18 the first month while in training and then again last month when I did multiple extended days. The reserve here has more days off than most airlines (at least at the regional level) reserve minimum days off.
