BHM area jobs

Aviation Services Group is the 135 side of JetSouth. The Coke plane belongs to United Bottling, the local Coke bottler. It is a Hawker 400 (Beechjet). I believe JetSouth manges it for them.

Man what a pleasure it was to use Dr Crow. Thanks guys for the recommendation. Plus, I was in and out of there in 30 minutes! I think that's the quickest I've ever done! Thanks again.

I understand that Southern Pipe and Supply may be looking for a Chief Pilot in Meridian, Ms. Not far from BHM!

Anyone know of any parttime or fulltime pilot jobs in the BHM area? Or companies I could contact? Does HealthSouth still have a flight dept?

Have 4 types, 19,500 hrs, 57 years old. Thanks.

PS: They have a Citation Bravo.

Yeah, but I heard the were specifically seeking a voluptious blond with better than average skills, and could also take off, land and do an ILS or two.

I don't think RL still is....I believe he is retired, but don't quote me on that. Also, look into Books-A-Million. They've got a LR-35 based out of BHM. 3 pilots, one airplane, and they fly a LOT. Not a bad gig if you like being home every night, but you won't be sitting at home much.

DO not go to work for these......people.
Do NOT go to work for these......people.
Do not F***ING EVER NEVER EVER go to work for these.....people.
Did I mention you should NEVER go to work there?
Slit your wrists before you go to work there.
Rape a grizzly bear that has rabies, AIDS, irritable bowel syndrome, bad breath, a hangover and a hang nail before you go to work there.

One more thing. Just a friendly suggestion. Don't go to work there.

What's your beef with Books-a-Million? I know the big wig can be a pain sometimes but I have always heard it's not a bad place to work. Is it sour grapes or what?

If you were talking about flying for Lincare then I would understand. But talking about BAM like that? Thats just not nice.

I never flew for BAM directly. I only flew for them when they needed the airplane. (On average, once or twice a month.) I flew for a different division of the family. We used to call it Cluster F**k Airlines. They would send 4 airplanes to pick up 3 people. They would call and say get to the airport as fast as you can, then we would sit at the airport for 5 or 6 hours. Finally, we would finally get in touch with a secretary who would say, "Oh, that trip cancelled 3 hours ago." We would have to get up at 0300 for departure. The pax would show up 2 to 3 hours late, then back to the airport for the return leg 3, 4, 5 hours late. We were constantly sent to the wrong airport. It was normal practice to change destinations enroute, sometimes by several hundred miles and in completely different directions. Several times we had to be at ATL at 0200 to pick up one of the family pr*cks after an all day trip on the day before. Finally at 0900 we would find out that the pax stayed in LA and we had to come home to fly that days trips then return that afternoon to pick up the guy who stayed in LA. One of them is worse than the others. We would take him somewhere, he would say, "I'll be back in 45 minutes...an hour tops." We wouldn't hear from him for 5 or 6 hours. They are impossible to reach to find out when or if the trip is still going, or when they are actually returning to the airport.

I could go on for hours. Basically, it's the third circle of Hell. I was convinced that the reason I was there was because I raped a Nun in a previous life. And that's just the GOOD part of flying for them. If you want to hear the bad part, I'll have to take a Valium first.

By the way, I'm not sure I ever mentioned this, but you don't want to fly for BAM, any of it's sister companies, or the family that owns them all.

Oh yeah, and don't go fly for them. In fact, I may change my signature to "You do NOT want to work for those people!!!"

Please consider this a public service announcement. If I am able to save only one person, it will be worth it.

No, it is not sour grapes. They did not fire me, lay me off, or any other such thing. I left for a better position. Of course, mine detecting with a hammer would be a better position. When I left they didn't want me to go.

In case I haven't mentioned it, you don't want to go to work for those people.

Go to Dr. Crow at Brookwood Internal Medicine. Best and coolest guy in the BHM area. His office is right between the Strip Mall Next to Brookwood Mall and Brookwood Hospital. At a 45' angle from where Cabana Cafe used to be.

I wouldn't go to anyone else.

Damn straight. My dad goes to him for his first class and I went there for my third class. He is the man to see.

Sounds like a slighty exaggerated version of what I have heard, but you probably know better than I. In any case, glad to hear you found something better.

So...are they hiring? Can you walk my resume in there?






Sorry, couldn't resist!

It's nowhere near that bad. It may have been at one time, but no longer.

Does anyone know if EBSCO has a flight department and if so what types of aircraft do they fly?
