    If hired at NetJets.....

    Here's the way it works. If you are hired into a senior aircraft you have two choices. You may bid Captain or not. Under the current contract, you are equipment locked for two years. A new hire bidding Captain in a senior airplane would be a waste of time, because they could never hold it...

    Netjets TA falls apart!!!

    As of 0828, October 18, there are no notices about any of this on our union website. Where are you getting this stuff? What John, told Sally, told Fred is meaningless.

    Any Fractionals With Jumpseat Privileges?

    Netjets has never had any formal jumpseat agreements. The company and a pilot committee looked into it years ago and determined we couldn't do it formally because of being unable to reciprocate. In order to reciprocate, all the share owners would have to sign an agreement. There have been...

    Netjets Interveiw

    Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Historically, at Netjets, PLAN has been a four letter word. When it comes to pilot staffing, nothing has changed. Now they're in the crisis mode again, complicated by their foot dragging and unwillingness to put their money where their...

    Net Jets Gateways, what's the real story?

    The TA that got shot down did not reduce the number of gateways. In fact, it increased them; HOWEVER (and make that a BIG however), it didn't apply to new hires. New hires were required to report to one of only five bases (EWR, MCO, CMH, DAL, LAX). You would either live there, or commute on...

    fractional future

    I've been in it for 7.5 years, and I wouldn't say it's "coming apart"; however, the industry is in the middle of a transition. The following is just my humble opinion, I'm sure others may see it a different way. Netjets (and fractional ownership in general) took off on a rapid growth spurt in...

    New Citation XLS - for Netjets or CS?

    As I understand it, once the XLS starts coming off the line, the remainder of the NetJets XL order will be filled with the XLS.

    New:2004 NetJet Payscales!

    What exactly is your definition of a "quality pilot"? Total time? Jet time? I've flown with people who had gobs of both and wouldn't trust them with a kiddie car. I flown with others who were hired with just over the company minima and were sharp as a tack.

    Meeting between FO and NJ.

    This has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. What company would let it's COMPETITORS handle it's customers under ANY situation? Plus, both companies have the same peak days, and need overflow support at the same time.

    NetJets Order

    Good point, but before I seat locked myself in an aircraft no better (and in some ways worse) than the Ultra for a better schedule, I'd wait and see what the contract brings. By the time we actually start taking delivery of these things I think we're going to be very close to vote time. Also...

    NetJets Order

    As mentioned, the CJ3 order was cancelled. I was told by one of our salesman a couple weeks ago that Mr. Santulli was pissed at Cessna because of all the Encore problems, and that's what drove this deal (he also got them REALLY cheap). Will it create more hiring this year? Remember, just...

    Dangerously Heavy -

    I'm pretty sure I know who you're talking about, and I wondered the same thing myself. He was hired back when NJA was growing at light speed and the pool of resume's was small. Just goes to show you guys that NJA is not the aviation nirvana some may think it is.

    2004 Hiring at Net Jets

    Here's part of the discrepency. Not being one to take what they say at face value, I do a little digging. The normal staffing guidelines are 4.5 pilots per aircraft. I have been given this figure by more than one management type at different times. At recurrent, I asked the question..."how...

    2004 Hiring at Net Jets

    Not sure where that is coming from. I was at company recurrent last month. The Chief Pilot said they were projecting hiring 150 next year. He said nothing about 91k increasing the need for pilots, and 91k impacts were definately discussed. Also, by current staffing policies, we are still...

    G-200 (Galaxy) ?

    708 is sold and is on the road. 707 is not and will only be doing training flights and demo's until it is (which I wouldn't expect to be for at least 2 more months).

    Hiring?

    We're 300 pilots overstrength. I wouldn't expect hiring to resume until sometime mid-2004 at the EARLIEST.

    Follow Up -NJA Dogs & kids

    What difference does it make how the pilots feel? They are the customers, and if they have children or pets we smile and still give them our best. Be that as it may, I for one would much rather fly dogs than kids. They make less of a mess.

    NJA C-X vs. G200

    Actually that's not true in this case. If you buy a share in a G200, book a trip in your G200, and one isn't available, you are guaranteed and equal OR BETTER airplane. You can bet your booties they'll be spending a lot of time in Falcons and GIV's.

    G200s at Netjets

    I'm in the G200 program at NetJets. We have three on line now. The number to be added will depend on sales. Original projection I was told was 12 more for this year, and then it was cut to six (for the rest of 2003). I'm still in training, and have thus only flown the actual airplane twice...
