Let's just remember who got the first call and paved the way for his 2/9 brothers.

 

Brom? haha!

 

Congratulations to those guys. Looks like the theory that working at NetJets negatively effects your chances of getting hired at a major has been debunked.

 

and still, I guess they must have tons of apps from high hours pilots because with 3,500 TT I'm still getting nothing and I have only 1 recommendation letter and netjets pilots listed as reference on my resume.

 

Not sure anyone says that working at NetJets negatively effects your chances of getting on with a major. I did, several of my friends have, as have countless others have. I didn't have prior 121 and that was a real shot in the foot for me, but NetJets had nothing to do with that.

 

I was hired with no references and 2,500 hours. HR is at the helm and they are doing a terrible job. To give you an example, last year they interviewed to build a pilot pool. 6 months later when they needed to hire, the pool had literally dried up. Fast forward to now, 3 out of 10 showed up for interviews and they were going to put them in a pool once again lol. You not getting a call is not a reflection on you, but rather the terrible job HR is doing.

 

And unless things change, before too much longer the only people applying will be Scotty Snotnose and Donnie Deeyoueye.

 

Just finished my third year at Southwest after seven years at Netjets.
I work hard in the summer but can pretty much control my schedule and build ten+ day blocks of time if I want. June I was paid for 186 trips while blocking 95 hours. Fourth year pay is 119.64 per trip. Thats $22,253 in pay plus another 25% in retirement pay. July was 160 trips. I expect August to be about the same as June. Just heard a high time Captain was paid for over 400 trips last month and bank $100k plus 25% for retirement in one month! He is the exception to the rule but being paid for 180-200 trips a month is not hard to do if you dont mind working and understand the contract. Come Sept and Oct I will dial back the flying. I worked 16 days in July and 17 in June just for reference. I miss catered food and the varied places we would go at Netjets. I also miss the points.

 

Which "Major" did you get hired at?
