Conagra

[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.

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.

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

Sounds like a good deal for the right person.

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

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