Corporate jobs

[1900dr]

I've been out of 121 flying for 9 months now. Looking to do corporate flying instead. Any leads to corporate jobs in North Carolina would be appreciated. Either the CLT or RDU area would be fine. Large or small departments doesn't matter. Prefer light turboprop to light jet entry-level but would accept a twin piston position if it pays the right $$'s. There was a job posting for Labcorp in Burlington, NC. I applied. Haven't heard from them. Thanks in advance for an info you can provide

And what makes you feel you are qualified for such a position??

I think there was a thread on this very topic about 2 months ago. Try a search. It seems to me that there were a couple of banks and energy comapnies mentioned in the posts. Good Luck

You may want to look at Southeast Airmotive at CLT. They are a charter company with Navajos and King Airs. I know it's not corporate, but if your profile is accurate you're going to be a bit light on experience for CLT, probably RDU too. There are some good corporate depts at each airport like Bank of America, Wachovia, Lowes, Duke Energy, and Family Dollar in the CLT area and SAS, General Parts, and Progress Energy at RDU, but spots there are few and far between and competition is intense to say the least.

Getting to know some corporate-type experience with a charter job may be a good stepping stone. Other options may be MedCenter Air at CLT-they have 3-4 King Airs and a Citation V and were hiring FOs early in the year, or maybe a NASCAR outit up around JQF-again, comptetition there is pretty tough, but there are a few B1900 operators on the NASCAR circuit so that may be a plus for you. Try www.RTAA.org for more race team info.

Good Luck!

Good call Jeff!!! How dare someone without 23000 hours of heavy corporate time think he is qualified to fly a corporate Navajo or King Air!

So nice to see the more experienced members being such a help to a lower time guy...

Jeff: Did the NBAA board really ban you?

 

[1900dr]

Thanks flywrite and everyone else for the info. I'm going to make some calls now. "You scratch my back. I scratch your back." Not today but some day or someone else

Stupid posting can get you into trouble .... too bad because Jeff really knows what he is talking about and is a great source of knowledge.

FlyWrite, are you based in Charlotte?

Jeff: Did the NBAA board really ban you?

You obviously don't know the whole story. Jeff sent a guy a private email and the loser then posts that PRIVATE email onto the NBAA board in a attempt to sway people who have known Jeff for years. J. Wolf, the post master of NBAA, banned Jeff for a few days due to a private email. Regardless of what you think of Jeff, Wolf was out of line for banning someone for writing a private email. I've lost all respect for Wolf because of this situation. Hmmm, let's see, I send a guy a private email, that guys posts it to a public board, then I get banned? How much sense does that make. Wolf is a Da#N idiot. He needs to look at that situation and admit he banned the wrong person.

Jeff can be a great resource. I am puzzled by the rather harsh response to 1900dr, though.

BTW, I had absolutely NO "qualifications" for the job I now have when I applied. I knew someone and they had an opening. TC

I really liked it how you tared and feathered an ex TWA/AA pilot on the NBAA board when you received bad information about him. If I were that pilot I would have sued you for libel and slander.

Sorry you never made it to a Part 121 carrier you d0uche.

Please do not be too puzzled. I was drunk off my butt in Taipei. I am again right now, but I am going to signoff to prevent myself from sending anything else I don't mean to say.

 

[Huggyu2]

No harm, Jeff! It's a valid question, albeit somewhat "rhetorical". I'm sure he'll answer it in the job interview.

Understood. I can't imagine doing Taipei sober either. TC

18 months ago as I sought to transition from 121 back to corp I was casting about for advise wherever I could find it. Few had time for me. At some point I ended up at Jeff's site and called him. He provided hours of free advise. It was invaluable.

I suspect he, like all of us, would like to be judged in our best moment.

Here's a bit of advice for you guys who are new to (less than 10,000 hours) or want to get into corporate aviation...

When guys like Jeff talk, you'd better be listening and even better, taking notes.

Yeah, even when he's drunk he gives out better advice than me! TC

Perfect example of another loser speaking on subjects that are well beyond the scope of their knowledge and understanding. Bad information Danger? I suppose you are vouching for this guy Jeff wrote about on NBAA? Good for you. Keep on not knowing the full story nor doing your homework and just shooting off your mouth about subjects you do not understand. It's making you look REAL good. So, this ex TWA/AA guy a good buddy of yours? Oh, don't tell me, there is not another human being on this earth finer than this guy? You'd trust your life and that of your families with this guy, right? He is a true professional, the best of the best, church going man who feeds the homeless every Wednesday and Sunday. No, silly me, he donates his time and money to black inner city kids kids and opens his home to them. Works days and night at the Women's shelters when he is not flying, isn't that right? I'll believe all that when pigs fly. Oooooops. Did I say that out loud?

The pilot he tared and feathered? Oh, you mean this pilot? Yep, this is the one you are talking about. Shame of JB for speaking ill of such an outstanding gentleman.

Yep Danger, what a real professional this guy is. If this is the type of "Pilot" you speak of that "makes it" to a 121 carrier, then I'll stay away. The reason this guy didn't sue him for lible and slander is because

1) libel applies to print and slander applies to verbal conversation, which was not the case here, just print.

2) See the above article

Now, anything else to say about the poster child of 121 professionalism that JB spoke of?

It's kind of hard to talk when you have your size 11 in your mouth, isn't it?
