Conagra

[cosmotheassman]

Anyone know what aircraft Conagra Foods has?? I've seen a Lear45. Do they have a GIV??

 

[421Driver]

They have four Lear 45's that I found on the FAA database, N822CA, N825CA, N865CA, N866CA.

 

[English]

I think they have more than that.

Anyone know what aircraft Conagra Foods has?? I've seen a Lear45. Do they have a GIV??

The last time I was on a trip out there, about 6 months ago(My comp. parks at their hangar) They had a G-IV, and a bunch of Lr-45's. They also have a few other bases, which escape my memory. The folks that run the Flight. Dept. are very nice, and sounds like a great place to work! The waiting area is made up of all WWI artifacts, and the feeling around the hangar from other crews I spoke with is that their very happy.

 

[English]

I know two of their flight crews, and they are both extremely happy working there.

Bases SNA and OMA, I believe.

Here is what I've found on the Conagra Fleet:

N822CA LJ-45
N823CA LJ-45
N824CA G-IV
N825CA LJ-45
N828CA LJ-45
N865CA LJ-45
N866CA LJ-45
N886CA LJ-45
N889CA LJ-45

The following are leased thru Wells Fargo, I believe they are a part of the Conagra fleet as well:

N826CA LJ-45
N863CA LJ-45
N882CA LJ-45

Also, I think Conagra has a base @ DPA

My guess is they really like the Lear 45. Just an observation.

F. Illini - is that avatar from last night's game?

Yep!

ps. don't you mean "last night's slaughter?!"

 

[cosmotheassman]

What is the pay like there??? anyone?

 

[English]

VERY good.

Starting was either 85k or 95k plus 10% annual bonus. Don't remember the exact amount as I didn't take notes.

Schedule known well in advance with ample days off (unschedulable).

Your only chance to be hired there is to have an internal recommendation. Published minimums don't mean anything. A former co-worker of mine was hired there with about 2500 hours. The same fellow that was flying a CJ single pilot at 1500 hours.

 

[psysicx]

What kind of place would let you fly a CJ single pilot at 1500 hours?

 

[mach none]

They have a base in Boise. I know most of the pilots there, and they are very happy with Conagra. Great pay, retirement, and schedule.

 

[English]

What kind of place would let you fly a CJ single pilot at 1500 hours?

A charter operator in SoCal. The DO had the capability (insurance-wise) to sign off anyone he wanted.

 

[psysicx]

Sounds like a good deal for the right person.

[AA717driver]

brossia7--He can write the letter and send it in. AA will not accept a resignation while on furlough. Recall is a contractually guaranteed right. He's not thinking this through. Besides, once he gets the cool aid out of his system, he may actually find that Conagra might provide a better quality of life than AA.

Oh well, maybe someone who really wants to stay there will get the job.TC

 

[English]

I'd take Conagra over American any day. But, that's just me.
