When you finish your last leg the company will shut you down with a show time for the next day with a tentative schedule. It can be anywhere from 10 hours on up. You are either on duty or off duty.

The job is what it is. Fact is when you're in the bottom 500 plan on keeping your resume up to date. You will get WACKED! Not if but when!! The question none of you guys ask is "why would you buy an fract share when you can own the aircraft cheaper?" If the market is so big why hasn't the Company grown in years???

If your ego is such that you need to be in a big airplane to feel better, then this isn't the place to make that happen.
I was a 9 year FO on the 18 day and never broke six figures. I was however being worked like a slave in the mighty XLS for 3-5 legs a day with attempted minimum rest, crap food, and diminishing health benefits on a 6 on 3 off schedule. Not to mention captains too scared to call fatigued. My ego didn't need a big airplane. But my back, legs, head, and shoulders sure do appreciate it. How's that 10/$250 thing coming?

You seem to have issues, I'm sorry you are so unhappy.

Default Can't submit application

I'm having a bunch of issues trying to get my application submitted. Is there anyone that can help me? currently the careers page says

"Thank you for submitting your profile. Your application is not yet complete.
Please click the arrow to launch the next step in the process."

I have my resume and cover letter uploaded, but there is no "arrow" to click anywhere. Please help.

I submitted my app back in January when the window was open. I got a call mid July to interview in September. So it took me about 6 months to hear something from them.

We get it. You don't like NetJets. Move on

The discussion is training dates, not how much you hate the company

Super EZ has some personal issues he/she needs to work out. The best thing you can do for someone like that, is let them purge the hate and anger. Maybe they should consider a therapist.

Super...get the help you desperately need.

This sort of individual, and those who bash other companies, are why many are losing respect for pilots.

Folks, if you were once here and did not like it, and moved on..good for you. Happy you found a new home. For those of us who are here and working to make this place better, a kudos for trying would be nice.

This place is turning into flighinfo....nice work folks.

Well, only if they can get into the >40K airplanes. The majority of those SIC slots in the past couple of years went to voluntarily-downgrading captains, not SICs.
