Boeing

[MNR]

Looks like they are hiring again. I currently fly a LR60 out of MDW on 135 and I am looking for any inside information someone might have. I filled out the on-line application, I did that last time. I thought if anyone knows someone who works there already or actually works there and can provide me with more information it might be helpful.

Thanks in advance

A good friend of mine has someone working there and it's been reported that QOL is $hitty.

If you interview, and qol is important, ask plenty of questions.

Qol

A good friend of mine has someone working there and it's been reported that QOL is $hitty.

QOL is relative.

Some would say 8 work days is alot. Others might think 20 is not bad.

Which are you?

Yes, I would have to agree with E, QOL is relative. I still think I'd advise the potential applicant to ask questions.

I've been in 604 recurrent w/ a couple of Boeing crews. They were great guys and seemed to be happy w/ their jobs. They were suppose to be getting 605s.

Good luck-

Questions

Ahh yes, but what questions will get the proper info?

If I ask, "How is the QOL?" What might their answer be?

Something for us to ponder while wasting away in margaritavile.

No hard days off but scheduling will "work with you". Great benefits--by any standard.

They fly a lot (by my standard...) but sometimes they have slack periods. You will see the world--but not through the windscreen of a BBJ. It's REAL senior.

The pay is pretty good. The guys I've met are really good people. They have some people who are disgruntled but what department doesn't?

Good luck.TC

I used to run into them all the time, in that we always seem to go to the same places they do and at the same time, and they always seemed like a happy bunch to me.

SCT! What's new brother? Did ya hear what happend over at my company? Looks like I won't be seeing you in Saratoga this year (which sucks) unless our new guy gets fast tracked into "the club". And just when our old guy "got made" as a full member.

Did they hire anyone yet?

"The guys I've met there are good people"

Tim, I thought you knew E.W. From the above quote I guess not!

Just kiddin'. I've always wondered what kind of boat would pull him and his Dad water skiing. That I have to see.

Steve,

Tim knows me alright! But thanks for the vote of confidence. JK Dad hasn't been out on the water in quite a few years. Lots of time driving and sitting on the sand sippin a cold one.

PS If you need to see me ski, just drop by anytime, you have an open invitation.

I have a couple good friends their. One on the BBJ and the other on the 604. The only thing they ever say is be prepared to fly a lot. Last month the 604 guy was gone 24 days. Just to give you a idea.

I have a friend who was a rated flight test engineer at Gulfstream who went to the Boeing Flight Department. He left Boeing for Delta. Even now he doesn't wish he was back at Boeing.

Regrets

GV,

As a former airline guy who won't go back because I'm currently at Boeing, let me tell you your friend made a huge mistake.

Just my 2 cents.

No way

I hate to burst your bubble, but no one worked 24 days last month. I think your friend might be either in management or have a long nose.
