Breaking into the Corp aviation world

[Floyd94]

Take the above and throw in some psychotic management and the seemingly-requisite backstabbing co-worker you inevitibly run into. If you can navigate THAT minefield, you'll probably get where you think you want to be.

Sounds like a 121 operation to me.

It's up to you to either be happy or not. Happiness rarely finds you... TC

One of the most prophetic quotes ever from FI! Thank you

Flyby- Where are you living now? Would a part-time job at the airport be a possibility? Maybe flight instruction? Never know who you will meet.
The fractionals would be a good avenue as well. And, given the glacial pace of the corporate hiring process honoring a contract should be no problem.
Cheers- rum

Currently living in the PSM area, flight instructing would be great but my current 121 gig doesnt allow flying on the side per our contract. I could still do it and just personally keep track of my 100hr/mo limit, but I am usually flying 90+hrs 121, so.... gets tricky. I might see about part-time FBO jobs as a way to make contacts, any job in particular that has more exposure to the corp pax/crews?

Does Bombardier fly out of KBDL? I'm not sure what the job is like or how far you're willing to get from PSM, but I see postings for Bombardier once in a while.

What's your total time and multi time?

Yeah, that's why I said few really good jobs in ANY segment these days.

Snowback--BBD has been discussed here a while back. I think any demo pilot job is a good stepping stone to one of those really good jobs. I've heard there have been some personality conflicts in the BBD department in the past. Still a good opportunity for someone not yet ready to declare it "THE" job. JMO. TC

I think I've heard that about BBD before. It's easy to understand however, how one would not consider THAT demo job one of "THE" jobs. This is coming from a Savannah based pilot though.

Trust me my friend it is possible. I worked at a regional, decided the airlines were not for me, and took a 135 job that kept me at home. I spent about a year and a half there and got a preatty cush corp job..

'Nuff said. TC
