We may be dealing with the "maybes" for a while but a half hour of sim time during the hiring process just might get rid of the "definitely nots". Especially if these are slots for planes that might be desirable to current FOs who could make it through and should be bid on, it would be a shame to waste the slots on new hires that lack ability.

I don't understand the consternation.
NetJets is competing with Regionals for pilots.
it isn't a surprise that Netjets will be faced with the same training, performance, and retention problems that Regionals have been dealing with.
Regionals have training programs that were designed to be able to take a 250 hour pilot and bring them to 121 standards.
Netjets is trying to add a type to an existing ATP.
For years NJA has maintained a 2500TT minimum and really it was more like 6K+ to be competitive. Those candidates (6k+) are virtually gone and will only return with significant improvement to work rules and compensation.

All the guys with no glass time washed out in training. But with SWA hiring our guys at record rates I think they have no choice but to go low and see if the no glass time guys can perform in the sim during the interview.

How is the training process at NJA? Is NJA AQP?
I have an interview coming up, not too concerned about the sim during the interview because hopefully by now I can display a decent set of flying skills, if not I don’t deserve the job imo.
