Boise, ID. corporate jet job???

[Flyingmike]

Anyone on here know of any corporate jobs in Boise? I am current and typed in the LR-Jet 35. I am moving to BOI because my sugar momma makes more money than me and I was just wondering if anyone knows of some nice corp. gig or possible 135 on demand charter or frieght opportunities???


Thanks for your time!

Boise-Cascade is up there, no idea if they are hiring... They are actually a joint flight department, I THINK with Albertsons...

Boise Cascade - Albertsons

A short time back NJA put me on a Boise Cascade Falcon. The pilots told me that Boise Cascade flies a Falcon 50 and Falcon 900 (sorry I can't tell you which model) and the tails ended in BC and they share a flight department with Albertsons. EJM runs the flight department (hence why we were on it). Pilots were great guys!

Re: Boise Cascade - Albertsons

EJM runs the flight department

When did that happen???

 

[JetPilot500]

From what I understand, EJM does NOT run their flight department. I went to school with their Department Manager a few months back. They are on EJM's certificate and do some Part 135 flying in addition to their part 91 stuff. But the flight department is still under their own control.

I shared a van ride to the hotel at IAD a few weeks ago with a Falcon 900 crew. They said they flew for Albertsons in Boise.

NBAA directory shows 2 Boise Cascade Falcon 50s , 2 Albertson Falcon 50s, and 1 Albertson F900B.
N55AS
N291BC
N293BC
N507AS
N909AS

HUGE difference between doing a few trips on EJM 135 certificate and EJM "running" thier flight department...

funny thats what NetJets told thier customers...."yeah, we run them"..

yeah.

I flew for Boise and the Albertson's operation. It is a fine group and everyone is employed by Boise Corp. The two Corporations just share expenses. They tend to hire locals that they know and have knowledge about. They (Albertsons) just sold 55AS. 507AS is a 50EX and 909 is the 900B. The 135 certificate is now gone too. Not enough work and too much of a liability. EJM definately did not run the flight department.

The rest of Boise, Id aviation is very difficult to crack. The jobs are very scarce right now and when an opening does come along, the department already knows who they are going to hire.

Best of luck though.

They may think twice about airline guys...

Scared of Netjets???

well, heck, at least we could save a fruckin' fortune on salaries for our pilots!!! (get two for the price of one!!)

but heck, once that contract comes through (OH IT IS) we will all be flying that BBJ and making more than United Captains!!

Sorry to interrupt the ranting with info about the original post, but there is also a 135 op called Nie planes based at Boise Executive that flies a LR35. Don't think they are looking, but if you're already qualed, and in the area.

Boise

You might contact Washington Group International in Missoula, MT. They have a website. Their flight department used to be seperated between Missoula and Boise, ID. There may still be 2 Hawkers at Boise. Tom Phillips was or is the chief pilot.

If you want to fly Metros for a cargo operation, Western Air Express is home based at Boise. They also have a website.

A final idea except for Boise Cascade as previously mentioned, is to go to the FAA interactive aircraft registry at their website and do an aircraft search for the county that Boise resides in. You will see all of the aircraft registered for that county. Scan through to find the aircraft and owners you want to contact.

Good luck.

Boise Info

Here's some gouge on Boise.

Boise/Albertsons are currently hiring for one full time and one temp pilot. I have limited details about the job - but I do have one friend that works there (he is a furloughed UAL pilot, so they WILL hire airline pilots.) 3 Falcon 50's (either one or two are EXs) and a 900. Beautiful facility - 2 new hangars on the North side, East corner. PM for any other details.

Having been in Boise a number of years, and having been furloughed a couple of years ago, I've had the chance to discover the corporate/charter side of Boise, and even had the chance to work with some of them. I did work for Nie Planes for about a year. If someone asked me about them at the time I was there, I would say to forget about them. It was run by a D.O. that, while he was there, lost 3 pilots in a matter of a few months because of personal conflicts, then got himself demoted to Captain, and later fired. I still talk with them and I think things are more stable now he's gone. They just sold their Lear 35, but still have the Lear 60 and GIII (for now.) The GIII is for sale.

I've also worked for Western Air Express a number of years ago. It's your typical 135 freight operation, although I think things are better than when I was there. I know their Chief Pilot personally, and would be willing to set anyone up an interview with him if they wish. They always seem to be hiring.

I did see recently an ad for a CJ F/O position for Access Air (another past employer), but it is out of Sun Valley (about a 2 hour drive from Boise.) Again PM for details.

I don't have too much info on Washington Group, but I'm fairly sure they are down to one Hawker 800 now. It is based in Boise, though, not Missoula.

Also, one can try Conyan Aviation (running a Lear 35 and a handful of Cheyennes) or Turbo Air (with some King Airs for lifelight and charter.)

Please PM for anything further about Boise - there's a good chance I'll know about a position available or who to talk to about one.

Hope this helps.
