Usually you’ll start in the first available class. This had been the month following the job offer, but in 2023 they’ll have two classes a month, so maybe sooner. Of course, if you need more time you can bypass, but if you ask to bypass too many times they’ll probably consider you as “less than motivated to fly for NJ”, so don’t apply or interview too early. Maybe 3 months before you’re eligible for employment.

Interview and Indoc are done in CMH. Most aircraft initials are in CMH, but some fleets are doing simulators in MCO, DAL, or other locales.

New-hires have been assigned to all fleets except for Large Cabin (Global and CL-650).

New-hire class sizes over the last year and a half have ranged from teens to more than 80, but will probably be more like 25’ish per class with two classes a month in 2023…if they can find enough pilots to fill their slots. Compensation and QOL issues are quickly dropping behind many alternative career choices.

How is the training like at Netjets? I think I saw somewhere that it's AQP?
Is it like airline training: Indoc, Systems, SIMs then IOE? Any delay for IOE?
How about the benefits?
Do they really hire with just an ATP?
Sorry for all these questions. I had a short stay at an infamous regional back in 2015 and considering options for a come back This might be a good one to get back in. Just ATP/CL65 and less than 100 hours on the RJ. Not sure if they will even consider me.
Thanks for your input everyone!

My first question back to you: Have you flown since 2015?

Very little recreational flying, about 20 hours of Cessna single between then and now.

Sort of a mix for now. Your timeframe is right but it’s not a aqp checkride. It’s a systems oral. Then 135 sim ride. Steep turns, stalls, approaches. Not like aqp where you do a MV ect. Apparently recurrent is aqp.

Is it like airline training: Indoc, Systems, SIMs then IOE?
Yeah see above.

Any delay for IOE?
I waited a month for mine, my sim partner started a week or so after the checkride. (Longitude) My buddy got 5 days off. (Cl350) most fleets are pretty caught up from what I understand.

How about the benefits?
That’s a great thing with NJ especially if you have a family. Basically zero cost health care. (Medical, dental and vision)
They match 60% up to 20% contribution (you can elect to contribute this to traditional or Roth), and about 1/3 of the fdp goes straight to your 401k.

Do they really hire with just an ATP?
Yes

See answers above. Not flying since 2015 might be hard to overcome, but if you get a shot at it and pass the sim eval maybe it won’t matter.

Good luck

Default Sim Evaluation

Can someone explain what exactly they are looking for in the Sim Eval? Clearly you will be flying a plane that you have never flown before (in most cases), call-outs, flows and emergency procedures are pretty airplane specific. What are they actually having you do?

In a nut shell they are looking for basic airman ship skills, working as a crew, and can you learn a few basic profiles and callouts. They'll give you a couple pages to study the night before, not looking for perfection just the basics initially to watch you fly and work together.
