Netjets Interview
Hello again guys!
Just wanted to ask if anyone that has been through the interview process with NJ wouldn’t mind chiming in about how it was and what kind of questions to expect for each phase.
I’ve been reviewing the gouge online, but just wanted to see if there are any recent experiences.
Thanks!

I know it’s not a direct answer to your question, but if you didn’t already know about it Aviationinterviews.com has fairly consistent updates, with the latest from QS being from earlier this month.

I'd skip NetJets, old games by management are returning, the new contract "shine" is wearing off. The preach one thing in indoctrination and practice another on the line, got more than one phone call for fatiguing after multi 3 AM walkup 14 hour days and calling in sick. IUf you military avoid this place! Buyer be ware!

If I were going to choose a place to work in the current pilot environment, NetJets would be pretty far down my list, behind most good airlines due to the career pay and retirement plans available elsewhere. It isn't a bad job and is most likely the top of the heap outside of the majors, but it isn't as easy a job as most airlines- you will work hard for the money for the most part and it is impossible to save as much for retirement as the B plans at the majors. I have no plans on leaving due to my personal situation, but I personally wouldn't make a go of it here if I was starting a career now and could get hired at the majors in the next 5 years or so.

The old games are always possible, but so far have really only been only played on probationary pilots and few of those at that. I don't think it is really something the vast majority of new hires will have to worry about. I'm not saying some haven't been screwed over, but that if NetJets is what someone wants, it isn't a particularly great reason to go somewhere else. That said, most ex military are probably a good bet to get on with a major airline and that is most likely a much better option anyway for the majority of pilots overall.

NJA has is share of shinanigans but if you keep your nose clean, especially the first year, you will be fine.
My big fear for anyone choosing a career there is the pay changes that incentivize flying tired. I wonder what that is going to look like from a work culture standpoint in the years going forward.

you are so so funny. unfortunately, whether you originally, maybe tried to be honest in your posts, you have lost so much credibility by now, it's hard to watch you keep on coming back on here with that bitter, angry, vengeful attitude.
New contract shine doin' real good. QOL is as expected, soft pay is surprisingly on par, and more than promised. been flying with a couple ex Navy and AF guys who love it. Also recently met a new hire, retired AF guy who's loving it, about a year in.
For sure, not everyone is made for this job. To each his own.

When I was actively flying as a NetJet's Captain all the probationary F/O would have needed to do is ask and I would have called in fatigued for them. Especially with what's happening lately. I think many PIC's would do this. Only problem is the SIC could be split off and sent to another jet that same day.
Glad your happy! I agree job is not for everyone, my only point was for guys on probation we (more than 3 or 4) got phone calls for practicing what they preached in Indoctrination. Was very unsettling. I was to stupid to realize these were not welfare calls as described but shots across the bow!
