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.

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.

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.

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

So True!

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".
