Do Net Jet Aviation pilots have the opportunity to bid for positions with Net Jet International and are there special requirements to get hired by Net Jet International?

Yes, to both questions.

A NJA pilot may apply to NJI after 2 years. If he crosses over to NJI, he starts again at year zero regardless of how many years he had at NJA. However, if he returns to NJA from NJI, he returns with his full NJA seniority. NJI is non-union, non-contract; NJA has a contract.

A pilot who bids over to NJI must have at least 5000 hours and meet certain other requirements. In fact, the only advantage of being a NJA pilot is that one does not have to have a Gulfstream rating.

mooney,
just to make sure its clear, when a NJA pilot bids over to NJI, they start over at year 1 class 4 pay, not back to a new hire pay scale off the street.
A NJA pilot bidding over to NJI starts at a base salary of 120,000. Just as they would when a NJA pilot bids to a class 4 airplane on NJA property (2000ex) year 1 base pay in class 4. 120,000

Correct. The Class 4 FO pay does not begin at 120K at NJI, though.

Yes, several FO bids have been filled. They went in the 1700s.

The one guy I know who bid over, is making slighly better money as a Category 4 FO at NJI than as a captain in his third year at NJA.

The bad news...he was told it could be about 10 years to captain.

that guy is smoking some good stuff. class 4 FO pay is a base of 50,000, and 58,000 as a 5 year class 4 FO> NJI guys don't get hourly OT and the same extended day rate as NJA

3rd year CA class 1 at NJA is base of 71,000 and 5 year class 1 CA is a base of 90,000. I don't know how he could be doing better with these figures from the contract.
