Any Known Upcoming G650 Operators? Where do I send my app????

I guess I am not sure what all the fuss is about, its a nice airplane sure, but I would fly a Cessna 150 for the right salary and the owner would never have to worry about me leaving as long as he treated me right.

+1. Anyone who goes after a job based on the type of equipment flown is likely one of those people who drives around with foglights on when it's not foggy.

i hate when people say this kind of crap. this job you describe doesn't exist. you might as well say you want to be a super hero.

is this the same as taxiing with the landing lights or strobes on?

Exactly. Find me a Cessna that pays 200K, stays mostly domestic, well crewed, great owner/company, great schedule.

You won't. Its going to be a Gxxx/Global etc. and to line ALL those up is fantastic...but fairly rare outside the internet. 99% of jobs have some tradeoffs, one way or another.

Its certainly not going to your average Learjet/Citation/Hawker/pink Cessna150 gig.

I'm still looking for my dream job,,, a 135 Fischler Storch operator!

You would be wrong my friend. A close friend of mine got a job on the east coast flying for the owner of a very late advertising firm. The owner has a Cirrus and feels that he always wants another pilot with him when he flies, my friend is fully employed by him (think medical, 401K company matching, company car) and he is paid 140K a year.
When I was hiring a new global driver this year I offered him the job (which starts at 165K) an he turned it down.
Yes while jobs like this are very rare they do exist. My point was that I don't care about equipment, all about QOL. I do fly a global now but if my boss got something different I would still fly for him no matter what, when I was looking for a job I applied at quality departments, I did not care what they were flying, and the job I have now I had to choose between this job and a king air job, the decision was not as easy as many of you might think. (And the king air paid more)

okay, you got me. ONE of these jobs exist(i don't really believe it, since this is the internet). A pilot probably has better odds of winning powerball then finding a job similar to your close friend anyway.

So if I understand you correctly land you are suggesting that you choose a job based on equipment?

I'm a bit confused...

So you're some type of upper crust company man at a Global operator... you were going to hire some one for your op (I am just assuming the position was below you in seniority) and said position pays $165,000 a year.

You like your boss... and if he was to buy a KA you'd fly it... understandable I like the KA too...

But you turned down a KA job to fly for your current boss who pays $165,000 a year on a Global Express.

And If I'm reading all this right, you said the KA job paid MORE?

More than $165,000 per year to fly a KA?

So if I understand you correctly English is your 2nd language and you don't understand it very well. Or you choose to imagine things that haven't been written. I, like you claim to be, don't chase type ratings but please point out to me what I wrote that made you insinuate I did write that.

Sounds like most of you would turn down a shot to fly a renovated Concorde or fly a new version of the Space Shuttle if the opportunity magically arose... Who cares what or where you fly?

Guys, there are plenty of non-travel, lucrative IT jobs out there for you if you are seriously jaded. I am not saying equipment is the sole consideration - far from it. But why get into aviation if you want to sit at home? If QOL is so important to you, why even consider professional aviation? Seriously? Go turn off this computer and spend more time with your family and pets. It's like saying, "I joined the Marines but I didn't expect to fight in wars." Law school is waiting for your application. Or apply for the Flight Department Leader position (non-flying VP role) and let someone else fly your Global/G650 worldwide who actually appreciates it!
