I asked this question on the Flexjet thread but haven’t received an answer.

Can anyone tell me what the currency requirements at NJ are? For example what would be required following a 60, 90, or 120 day deployment with the Guard/Reserve?

It is called CQ (continuing qualification) and some operators use 12 month cycles, yes, even Captains.

Did you expect something else before you meet the mins?

It depends. If you missed a training event, you'd likely start with that. Otherwise, just back to the line.

The new minimums dropped, including instrument time, but that only dropped to 150 hours (simulated in airplane OK, flight simulator time not allowed in calculation). Get another 58 hours of actual or hood time and then try again. Good luck.

Something caught my eye on this one. Are you saying some people mark down simulator time as instrument time? You specifically said NJA will not count it but that implies some people must....that’s jacked.

It must have happened because the company email was specific about it.

Some might.

We do not appear to be on that track.

9 months. What other carriers do is not really my concern. What NetJets does.... is.

It has been determined that 9 month cycles is what we will do. Most carriers are on this same cycle program.

Considering NetJets is the first and only Part 135 carrier to be approved for AQP, I’m extremely proud of our training team and our executive and union leadership for supporting this initiative.

It will pay dividends... but it will pay in safety to be sure.

Boy bro, you MUST be management to be spouting like that. Extremely proud? Proud of what? You are a 135/91/91K operation that most people have never heard of. What you should be proud of is your family, your legacy, your network of friends, your life and not your employer.

They got approval to switch to continuing qualification for cost sake and the ability to lower staffing levels. Just like they got rid of that stupid 7 day company recurrent they had for years, cost savings and cost savings only. Most are 12 months but if you are 9 cool beans, means nothing in the grand scheme. Now of course 121 style training deserves 121 style pay though...maybe some better work rules. Maybe implementation of 117 test rules, there goes the 7 day trips and FDP pay...uh oh this can be the beginning of a slippery slope.

If they really cared about safety they would drop FSI and go in house. FSI, they train and check their own training, yup no conflict of interest there.

In addition to recurrent there are graduated levels of re-training that must be accomplished. I don't know all of the requirements but I know that there is a short IOE requirement starting with 90 days missed. I've taken a couple of 6mo LOAs that only required recurrent and about 7 days worth of IOE. At some point an initial is required (maybe at the 12 month mark?)
