I’ve got family vacation in November and my whole reason for the career swap is be around for big events in my kids lives. Missed out on too much and I’d hate to start the rest of my career at Netjets missing out on another big family memory. It’s a tough pill to swallow but I’ll be around for 40 more years so I’ll make up for the lost 100 seniority slots.

Default Quick thumbs down

Just curious from those in the know...
I got the TBNT letter about 6 days after....I had 0 recs and 2 failures back in the 80s. More than enough qualifications etc. Do the recs make or break an application?

I wouldn't think so. I start class on Oct. 11th, and had zero recommendations from anyone at the company.

Thanks ASA for the correction. Is it possible to edit a post after the fact? Seems the edit button disappears quite soon after you post. I'd like to fix it for guy looking in the future.
Sweet, had a look on there. So am I right in assuming there is a written test and technical questions at some point during the interview?

Thanks for your help. Just trying to get a good understanding of what to expect

You're 40 then?




Yes, we have a couple pilots over 80. Scary, huh?

Hmmm, interesting...May I ask how long after your initial application did you get a call?

Ha! I wouldn’t want to work till I’m 80! I’m assuming by the time I’m 65 there will be a mandatory retirement for 135 operations too. But if life is good to me hopefully I’ll be able to retire prior to that anyways

Congratulations to all those who are coming to NetJets! You'll find it an amazing company and a historic opportunity at this time. The September Indoc class just finished Friday. It was also aircraft assignment day (there is no bidding for aircraft assignments as a new-hire). The September class has new-hires going to every fleet, except large cabins (CL-650, Global, Gulfstream). You heard that right. New-hires were assigned to the Phenom, XLS, Sovereign, Latitude, Longitude, and CL-350!

Of course, as they say in the investment business: "Past performance is no guarantee of future success". But it's clear that the growth in demand, ownership, and airplanes is resulting in unprecedented opportunities for the pilots at NJ.
