Default Netjet FO Pay in next contract?

Hello,

I have a good chance of getting on with NetJets during this upcoming hiring (internal rec) but I wonder if I am screwing up because it looks like I will be an FO for many, many years and the pay, right now, doesnt look all that great.

Anybody have any idea if these rates will come up with the new contract? 1 yr FO: 57K, 5 yr: 68K, 10yr: 81K

When I am a 10yr FO loading bags on an Excel during the winter at KIAD, will I be kicking myself for not holding out for 121?

With that said, with netjets there is no commuting and the other benefits are great. My friend who is there loves it but he was a CPT after 12 months or so. Big difference in pay.

Any information about the contract is appreciated.

Talk to your 'internal Rec' who apparently has gotten you a job even before the interview. He knows as much as anybody else. Are they still making guys do a sim check during the interview?

No commuting? I thought the entire job was based around commuting to wherever the airplane is sitting.

I should be clear. I don't have a job or an interview yet.

I consider it non commuting because I wouldn't have to worry about getting to work other than driving 20 minutes to my local airport.

Could you please tell us why? I'm curious because although I missed the application window, I am starting to keep my eye on them and researching. The pay scale doesn't seem attractive as an f/o compared to what you could achieve if you get a job at an airline. But I've always heard for years about netjets being a good place, just never asked why.

Thanks

Something tells me this guy has a pal in the management dept. Which means he probably will get hired. The people doing the interviewing and hiring aren't interested in your ability to safely pilot an aircraft. They are looking for people willing to cross the picket line when the time comes....

Thanks for reminding me why I stopped visiting forum sites like this years ago.

I assumed my 10,000 jet hours and excellent record would make me a shoe in. Then again, what do I know.

Sure, you're correct about the dictionary definition of "commuting". However, in the context of airline parlance, it means that one jumpseats to work because of not living in base. Whereas with NJ, it is on the company to buy a positive space ticket. At least that's how I understand it.
