Coca-Cola??

There is extensive turnover...

If that's true, there must be a reason...they don't sound like a company I'd want to fly for...

You get very good pay and benefits in exchange for a poor QOL. I guess it is better than low pay and poor QOL?

If you like to travel the world, make top $$$, work in the office a lot when you are not flying, Fly nice equipment then it might be for you. If you don't want to be gone for up to 16 days straight then it's not for you.

I don't mind being gone for 16 days straight. I DO mind having to come into the office after I get back just to do busy work to satisfy the work-a-holic CP.

That was a good thing about my previous job. You're gone a long time, they leave you alone for a long time. TC

I agree. I hate working in an office, that is why I am a pilot. The Coke job would not be for me, but I am sure that a lot of people would be happy to get it, maybe they would even enjoy it.

all ythe guys i know that have left hated their job.....because of cp...managment

 

[GVFlyer]

Everyone whom I know that had other options has left the Coca Cola flight department.

[jimpilot]

The AF guy, Brunskole, how's he doin...

Any input?

 

[BengalsFan]

Everyone is making mention of top $... does anyone have any numbers to give us an example of what that is? I wouldn't mind 16 days on the road... then 14 home, heck thats not that much worse than NetJets... but $ would be the defining factor. Oh and do they have a defined benefit plan, 401k match (if so what is it?) or both?

Thanks

Thanks

I don't know for certain, but I have been told Captain pay (with stock and bonus) is worth around $200K. I believe FO's start around $100k plus bonus and stock. They get a 401K plus a real pension.

Oh, they bring you home after 16 straight days on the road, that doesn't mean you get the next 14 off.

You heard wrong. They are nowhere near the top corporate flight departments like Proctor & Gamble or UHG in compensation. What part of "nobody stays there", don't you get? The skilled pilots who've left are spread from Japan to Saudi Arabia. Even the affirmative action hires left. The Air Force guy retired. Donny is still there, but I'm not sure they let him fly. You can have good pay and the best equipment in the world, but if you have a poisonous office culture it's still a bad place to work.

Nope.

Harley looks good in Pro Pilot...anyone been with them? Happy New Year-we've earned it!

 

[Capt1124]

Is there any chance of getting a job there without an inside connection? Usually when I see a big company that has you apply though their website I don't bother as I assume they have a candidate already indentified and it's for HR purposes.

Coke isn't on my radar as a place to fly.

Those considering working there should do a search here or better yet, talk to someone who has worked there as I did at my last sim.
