Well its been two weeks since HR sent the weekly email checking in guess the hiring pool is starting to fizzle out !

 

I completed a phone interview yesterday, and was told that if I was selected to advance, I would get a call within 2-3weeks. I asked if they had a target date for hiring since I was about to be unemployed and was told they really don’t have any idea.

I’m confused because I thought that they were needing to hire FO’s and they know that they aren’t real popular because of upgrade times. Why then would they roll forward for a months long application process into an endless pool of waiting to be hired?

 

Because bright minds in Columbus think that NetJets is comparative to Delta and that you will cancel all your other interviews, and turn down all your other job offers just to let NetJets grace you with a job offer.

In 2015 they boasted that they had a stack of 10,000 resumes. Fast forward 2 years later, they can barely get somebody to commit to a Skype interview.

 

For anyone interested in NJ... this is spot on. It's the 2nd best JOB I've ever had in aviation. It is also probably one of the least "fun". For anyone that's ever flown for a good 91 corporate, good 121, or even decent 135, just know that with this job, other than required rest 10-12 hrs, you will have zero free time on the road. You can easily pack underwear, shaving kit, and whatever you sleep in, and be just fine, because most days, you'll change from your uniform into your pjs and and then into your uniform again. It's work, (decent paid, stable, good benefits, good aircraft work) but its work. They'll wear. Your. Ass. Out. Period. Also, if you need SIC jet time, good place to get it... lots of it.

That being said, there's an entirely different company within NJ's of pilots flying the large aircraft. Much different lifestyle. Also, infinitely senior.

I'm very appreciative of my job. I look forward to the day I punch out, because unless something changes, there is zero opportunity for 10yrs. At least. And I'm an optimist.

 

Had a phone interview today. Went pretty well. They asked what I heard about upgrade time (15yrs), then they told me it was actually 8-10. Ha!

 

How long did it take from sending your app to phone call?

 

Are they hiring? Any class dates?

 

I applied on Friday, September 7. I received a phone call from them on Tuesday, September 12. I did the phone interview this morning.

 

I assume that they are, because I found an opening for First Officers on a 3rd party site (can't remember which one). But I don't know about class dates or pools or class sizes. I heard from a friend of mine at NJ that they are hiring into the Latitude, Phenom, and XL/XLS.

 

Placement into the Latitude would be great - but you will pi$$ off a lot of existing Phenom, XL and Encore pilots waiting to bid it!!!!
