Not for new hires. MWilliams has it right.

I had forgotten about that.

Thank you to you both

I have a NetJets Web interview next week. It says that in addition to some HR questions, there will be some approach plate questions and some other Tech questions. Anyone know what type of questions get asked? Thanks.

I can only attest to what I’ve been told by others that have interviewed in last year.

RNP questions. Know GPS based plates and what everything means. MAP, MSA based on what, that kind of stuff.

Climb gradient questions on SIDS and such.

Not too hard, The HR guys STILL hold the most weight on who they hire, so impress them and you are on your way.

Back in 2005 there was a website about aviation interviews. I looked at all the questions there and during my NJA interview I was only asked 2 questions that I hadn't seen before. One was situational "what would you do if the PIC was coming in hot and high and didn't want to go around" and the other was "how low you can go on an ILS after seeing the approach lights". I suspect that website is still around so I'd check it out.

And HandyHansell is right about HR, they assume all applicants can fly OK, they're looking for customer service skills. If you were ever a concierge at a 5 star hotel you're in :rolleyes: The Pilots who make hiring decisions are looking at what spending a 7 day tour with you would be like. So basically don't be an ass, have some "tell me about a time when" stuff on customer service to tell them about or about a time when you had a conflict with another crewmember and how you handled it.

Also, the way we were taught the owner is treated like they own 100% of the jet when they're on it. So if doing a transcon TEB to LAX and the owner looks out the window and sees Kansas City and says "lets drop in there and eat some steak" then you do that as long as you don't violate any FAR's or NJA FOM/AOM. For example, one time we did an inflight divert to rescue a pax who's Citation X cracked a windshield and did a high dive into Springfield, IL. They were going to Telluride but by the time we got to Springfield we couldn't make Telluride before dark so we were flight planned to Montrose. During the flight the owner came up and asked if we could possibly go to Telluride to save him the 90 minute drive. We apologized and just told him Telluride was closed after dark (not 100% true but close). Would have been an FOM violation.

Good luck! :)

I think the web interview is more "tell me about a time" type stuff, I did get an quick question on how to enter a holding pattern and I laughed and said "I put it in the box and it flies it" The Captain on the interview laughed and said 'Ya about right" Expect to have your log books get a very thorough review, they have had a couple people slip through with "padded" log book flight times.
If you get to come in you should expect a lot of people looking at you for your demeanor and appearance. I interviewed with Bobo and he was all about "this is a very dynamic job that changes by the hour, are you up for having a 3 hour leg added as you think your headed to a hotel for the night"

Thanks for the information, I do appreciate it.

If it helps, I started sims/initial in Oct of 18, finished and had three weeks off before I started IOE. Finished IOE in two 7/7 tours.

What aircraft types are newhires being offered these days? Still a lot of Phenom and XLS slots? What’s the typical allocation these days?
