Coke

[Vrefus]

Heard that Coke in Atlanta was looking at hiring fivr for their flight department. I was able to get my resume in before they shut down the site. Anyone have any info as to interviews, hiring, etc?

I thought it was two. Do you have an interview?

Two reserve captains were hired last week. Supposedly two more pilots will be hired next month and then another the following month. I heard the next batch will be of pilots in the 3000TT range, then the last pilot a low timer.

Any idea what the pay is for a Co-Pilot?

 

[Vrefus]

The last I heard was that there aren't any co-pilots per se'. All of the pilots are typed and captain qualified. I had heard that the new dept mgr wants to get away from the contract pilot stuff and hire at least five pilots. Heard the same thing that two are pretty high time, two mediocre time and then one on the low side. All I know for now.

What kind of jets does Coke have?

 

[Vrefus]

Coke jets

They have three G-IVs and a G-V

 

[Snakum]

And they have at least one Sikorsky (S-76?) that I've seen twice in NC. Oh ... and they wear really cool ties, too.

The helo is not operated by the flt dept in Atlanta. More than likely it's one of the bottling divisions or a subsidiary. They run a Jetstream in the same manner around the south. CLT, CHA, etc.

If the tail numbers end in FH then it is the bottling company out of Chattanooga, TN. They have an S-76, a G-III, and an Excel. They are moving their department to Charlotte sometime this year. They used to have a jetstream but now they have an Excel.

CE650,

'preciate the info.

guys,
mabey this will help:
coke has three separate flt depts. one operating out of tn, the other 2 in atlanta. all 3 are separate companies and have no connection with each other.
coca cola co. operates gulfestreams and placed an ad for copilots middle of march. i heard they got over 1000 responses.
coca cola enterprises, also in atlanta, operates hawkers, citations, challenger and isnt looking for pilots.
neither is coca cola consolidated.
i researched this job heavily, and heard they hired their guys early april. if theyre still looking, the only way to get the job is to know someone inside or mabey walk in the front door and sell yourself. its supposed to be a stellar job.
if you find out anything, let me know.

Vrefus is correct...my buddy interviewed within the last two weeks for one of the reserve captain positions, and was told the same thing Vrefus posted. BTW, he DID NOT know anyone on the inside.

There has been a lot of turnover in that department in the last few years - I wonder why?

COKE

I applied via e-mail for the positions back in April, forgot about it, haven't thought about it. Got a call about two weeks ago for an interview in the middle of the month!!!!! Wondering if any of you who have replied with friends who know something on the inside have any helpful information to share......... Anything would be helpful............. FYI the lady said they were inteviewing 6 people in the two days and most were from out of town............
