The application window closed about a week ago. They got 250+ apps for about four or so positions. Just hoping I get a call for a chance.

Was that for the corporate shuttle based in GYY ? It was a recent job posting.

They have 4 0r 5 Challenger 604's and 2 BBJ's. I spoke with a crew the other day and they typically have around 12-15 overnights a month. They are base in Gary, IN.

They were also advertising earlier for demo pilots.

I am not sure if they have a dedicated shuttle since all the corporate big wigs are now in the chicago area but I do know they still fly to the west coast all the time. The second BBJ is not on line yet. Sounds like they fly the heck out of all there airplanes though. Any idea at all what the compensation is?

There is no such thing as a "demo pilot" at Boeing.

Well thats what it said. There were other things along with that. What I mean by demo pilot is fly to the big airshows and show it off. It wasn't titled demo pilot.

I always love the "all weather conditions" part. How 'bout in a tornado? Or volcanic eruption? Or meteor shower?

Uh, I'm sorry, I can't take your $100k/yr BBJ pilot position as I thought it was VFR only.
