Good for you WN, you have cracked the code.

Sorry you had such an awful experience with HR but I wish you luck in finding a truly good job. I hope you are able to look back soon and realize they did you a HUGE favor.

It is a very troubling when all the feedback from friends, acquaintances, and message board posters indicates a hiring process that is inconsistent, misleading, unprofessional, and potentially discriminatory. It sounds as if they are rejecting anyone who would fit test out of the Phenom which means in 15 years a Netjets recurrent class will look like the Augustus Gloob scene from Willy Wonka.

Questions they ask, etc...
Haha...Ok

1) Why NJ’s

2) Tell me about a good customer service experience you provided to customers

3) How will you handle a 14+ year wait to upgrade 😂

10 minutes...14 max!

Little person!

Midget is a perjorative term. Ergo, discriminatory.

Then again, so is excluding a person from consideration for employment because of their height (in this case, being TOO TALL). The EEOC says so. I would LOVE IT if somebody found a lawyer to pursue a class action on this issue.

While I dont disagree with you (huge entertainment value there), and assuming the Phenis is the ONLY jet they're placing new hires into, NJ could argue that being below a certain height is a BOQ (bonofied occupational qualification) of employment much the same way Exxon did in ultimately WINNING their age discrimination case against the EEOC. It is now a legal occupational qualification that you be under 65 to fly these jets (for Part 91 ops should an operator grow a pair and decide to pursue it)...just a matter of time before NJ figures that out and punts the gummers en masse to Sunny Acres where they can't hurt anyone.

WHAT HAPPENED?!

I am not aware of Flex/FO imposing physical limitations on being placed in the Phenoms.

They didn’t remove 4 inches of legroom from their Phenoms lol.

I hear you. Tough sell on a discrimination suit. But I'd still love it if somebody could find a willing barrister.

What I would love even more is if somebody could find a way to punt the Shrub to the Loony Locker Home for the Clinically Insane.
