Default NetJets schedules

I'm in the process of applying to NetJets for one of the Phenom 300 slots. The ideal schedule for me (although it offers lower income) is the 5 on 9 off schedule. I would potentially need that extra time at home for working on a graduate degree.

What is the likelihood of a new hire getting the 5 on 9 off schedule? Are your chances for getting your first choice of schedules dependent on your aircraft type, your domicile, your seniority, etc.? This is obviously not a huge deal in terms of taking the job or not (if offered the job at all)... just curious. Thanks very much.

5 on 9 off? Where did you come up with that? They've never had any schedule like that as far as I know. From people I know there, the shorter work schedules are taken by more senior people though...expect to work more like 9 on 5 off.

ok here is the breakdown because I am a nice guy.

7on/7off. This is schedule anybody can hold if not in training. Each fleet has certain start days available which are bid on by seniority. Your tour can only be slid for training and you can't be bumped off of your line so you know your schedule for a year out pretty much.

The Crew Choice or "CC" schedules are labeled by how many days each schedule works in a 4 month trimester. The company can slide up to two days in a month as long as in the end you don't exceed the elected amount

All CC schedules are published the 15th of the month before. You can put in for preferences such as certain days off etc but the company is under no obligation to grant those requests.

CC76 is 17-21 days a month

CC72 is 16-20 days a month

CC60 is 13-17 days a month

CC52 is 11-15 days a month

They can build these monthly schedules with anywhere from 3-7 day tours. You can choose to allow 8 day tours for an extra 3 percent of pay. 3-6 day tours have a minimum of 3 days off and 7 day min off is 4 while 8 day min off days is 5.

If you are based in a green base (our top 50 busiest bases) you can bid for maximum 5 day tours under the cc60, cc72, cc76 or maximum 6 day tours under the cc52.

Only 10 percent in each fleet and seat will be awarded the CC52 schedule or the short tour option. This has gone fairly senior which a few exceptions.

So to answer your question there is no 5/9 schedule. Starting out in training you will be on basically the CC72 schedule and they own your soul for flightsafety and IOE etc.

About 60 percent of pilots are on 7/7 cc60
About 30 percent are on the cc72/76
About 10 percent are on the cc52

Want to fly and want time at home? I'd say you are the perfect candidate for a freight run..... get sleep away from home, fly home in the morning then you have all day to do whatever you want. Perfect.

Thanks, flyguy, for taking the time and breaking that all down. Great info for any potential new hire. Appreciate the freight idea, 100LL. Something to consider for sure.

9 on 5 off? Where did you come up with that? They've never had any schedule like that as far as I know. From people I know there, the max tour length is 7 days, unless you opt in for 8-day tours for a 3% override...expect to work more like 7 on 7 off unless you choose to work more for the higher paycheck.

Good luck!

The EMB-505S enjoys the airspace at FL450... Above the weather and chaos.

You'll enjoy.

Indeed each their own. I personally liked it while I was there but did not come back. I am enjoying flying international and being a captain on a 767. I also enjoy not needing to clean the lav or cabin and never waiting for transportation to the hotel. I also enjoy having 8 beautiful young ladies in the back to take care of me.
