I know. Must be losing his edge

Just looking for top tier in regard to company stability, equipment, location and pay.

Oh! you mean the relly great ones, like Ford, GM, US Steel, Dana, Merator, etc. All had great pay, great equipment, great days off, and were highly sought after jobs. I think job security in corporate might be worse than the airlines, in fact using job security and flying job in the same sentence is well an oxymoron. I had my lay off experience at a great job with a Fortune 500 company that I thought was a career position.

 

[Talian]

Thanks Pilotyip. Thats what I had been looking for.

 

[Gulfstream 200]

Ha! I hope nobody turns into that guy, except I think G200 already is that guy....

please bitches, like I'd ever fly a freakin Hawker or drive an American car.

I don't care who you are, that der is funny :beer:

Ha! Next thing you will tell us you don't have many gold chains and itch to take the Grumman to Thailand.

Best way to tell if the job is crummy, the work rules are almost non-existant,the base is YIP, and you are probably risking your life-when you check in on day one Pilotyip is teaching ground school.

Because I prefer to keep that private. I guess Im asking too much to expect one to just say"If I had my choice of flight departments to work for my list would be".... . Doesnt seem that difficult for a group of guys with your experience. Maybe just too much to ask .

It's because if one of us worked at "THE flight department", we'd still be there flying happily ever after. The 'conventional wisdom' or 'rumor' or whatever usually has no relationship to the actual conditions at a given flight department because you have to be there and live there and fly there for a while to actually know how good (or bad) it is.

:laugh: ha ha very funny but, I am not sure what this has to do with finding a Corp job, but since you want to bring it up. This is one of the places you check into and build the credentials to allow you to move to your next job.

Here is a list of where former JUS pilots have gone Ford Corp, Boeing Corp, DAL, NWA, UAL, CAL, SWA, FedEx, UPS, NJ, JB, AT, Kalitta 74's, Atlas, you name it our pilots have gone there. And a remarkable thing is when they come back they talk about how good the training was at JUS.

It is called paying your dues, everyone has to pay their dues, some do it in the military, some do it the regionals, some do it in the on-demand. It is not for everyone, but it is a viable way to build your resume and move on in your career.

Not even when he rents from Hertz. Always the "Prestige Collection" for our illustrious brother imp:.
However, I'm thinking that old LR-35 and the G200 (wasn't it really a Galaxy?)ain't too far off from the Hawkersaurus.

 

[FlyingPieceOfSt]

If you see them profiled in Pro Pilot magazine, the job probably sucks..../QUOTE]

So True!

 

[FlyingPieceOfSt]

If you reply on FI with long winded paragraphs while spending most of your day at an FBO, you probably are not listed in the top 100 91 gigs.

 

[Cat3C]

if you use the berthable seats on an international trip for crew rest at destination......you are not on the "list".

I do think it was a "Galaxy" on the type rating. I actually flew with a guy once that called the FAA to find out how fast he could get his certificate changed from "Galaxy" to "Gulfstream 200"...no kidding...:erm:

Then again, don't you fly some French hybrid 900b eurotrash thing with a backyard conversion to EEZEE? You should have made it a real airplane and changed out those puny learjet engines instead of putting bigger TV screens in the cockpit.




Hertz gave me a Yukon and an Escalade with shiny wheels recently. I felt like a rapper hauling my bitches around.

...on the other hand, if it's Friday before 5 and you're sitting on your couch with a beer in hand waiting for your friends with real jobs to get off work, you might be on the list.

"Please bitches".........that's a friggin hoot. I love this site, pure entertainment. I hate the career though, full of scumbags and liars.......I should have listened to mom and dad. Keep it coming G200, you the man.

P&G at LUK.

 

[semperfido]

it's all conjecture and a matter of opinion.

 

[pilotyip]

for right now anyway, I am sure the pilots at Ford, GM, US Steel, etc felt the same way.

Hate the career?

Its a pretty easy job compared to many out there. It won't make you rich but I can't think of another career with more time off. That time is invaluable when it comes to raising a family or running a side business (or both?)

I am also lucky I have meet very few scumbags and liars. I do find that pilots can be weenies - scared of their own shadows and judgemental....but thats often due to the lack of basic social skills, fear etc.

I really have not run into many scumbags as compared to other professions.

Know any lawyers? -

 

[NGT]

for right now anyway, I am sure the pilots at Ford, GM, US Steel, etc felt the same way.

So did the pilots at Braniff, Eastern, Pan Am, TWA, American and UsAir. All jobs can go away. If it's a great job then enjoy it and always be prepared to leave it. If you like it it's a great job! Never Ever Ever burn your resume and keep in contact with Every pilot you meet!

I exaggerated a little I guess but sometimes the daily grind just gets to me. Maybe I've doing this too long. And yes I know a couple lawyers....that alone makes me glad I didnt pursue that line of employment.

wise words, but remember he was asking for a job in aviation with security, that is kind of an oxymoran. BTW never burn a bridge when you leave a job, always say nice things, you might want to go back there some day.

 

[sleepy]

In Atlanta I think the place to work is Cox Communication. Good pay, benefits, equipment, T&E, etc.. the pilots I know there are nice people and happy with the job. I have heard that P&G is very good. On the west coast Disney seems to be a sought after job. I have meet some pilots who fly for Gulfstream and they seem happy.

Trades in a Jeep for frigin volkswagon and now he thinks he Donald Trump ....

Now wait Mr G100 you don't wanna go here....you're the only male I know who drives a freaking Saturn.

Pulling up in a Saturn to fly an Astra may be enough to end it all.

Hey hey there ... they both have been sold and replaced with imports!

 

[G3G4]

MINE!! Part 91. Two weeks on Two weeks off from what ever part of the world your in!. Now adays its not what I fly or even sometimes the money, its quality of life. To me my two weeks off is worth that extra 20 or 30K I have been offered at other companies with only two pilots or even three and no schedule!
