^^^^This is very much true^^^

The company mostly takes previous experience, or lack thereof, into account when assigning fleets to newhires. Basically, as a new hire, you have zero say or choice in which fleet you'll be assigned. Thus, if you're hoping for the 350 and instead get assigned the Sovereign, you're gonna be somewhat disappointed.

Fixed it for you.

Per diem is NOT part of your compensation.
Neither are tips, airline points or Atlantic Bucks. Words matter.

That said, you killed it. You made roughly double the FDP that I made. So good for you.

I don’t think this is true at all. I saw people coming from a King Air go to the CL350 and people coming from an airplane with Auto-Throttle, VNAV and fly-by-wire go to the sovereign. I think aircraft assignment involves a dart board and a blind fold and that’s about it.

In my experience, I haven't seen that. No ATP, restricted ATP, no jet time, etc a mix/combo of either of those seem to be normally taken into account. But fleet assignments are like a box of chocolates, ya never know what you're gonna get.

I’ve got to remember to use the “box of chocolates” reference anytime someone asks about new-hire assignments at NetJets. Perfect!!!

Can you provide an example of how it is taken into account? Because I saw absolutely no rhyme or reason to how airplanes were assigned in my class even after they went through the trouble of standing us in line to tell someone what aircraft and what job we came from previously and what aircraft we would like to be assigned.

When was your class? A learning process has happened in the last year and now the company understands better where to place newhires for their best chance at success.

They didn't care when I was hired. I was typed in two of the airplanes they put people in my new hire class into, yet I was put into the Phenom. Still kinda funny that they don't let you pick based on seniority.

You must me short. I had a tall friend who wanted the phenom. They denied him for his height.

Here's what I could gather from my June class..

It was based on age and experience.

The 4/5 CL350 people in our class were all the oldest people. In fact they were so backed up that they called the 2 oldest person and asked if they would like an earlier sim slot for the Longtiude.

Then the latitude, me being in my 30's, was among the top 1/3 of age and was filled with many airline experienced people as was the CL350/Ce700.

Then lump in the Sovereign/phenom/XLS it was all the younger people and some with less jet time. But they also could have been short enough for the phenom too.

So take away what you will..
