I was working for a low rent 135 operator (the CP was a little bitch with Nepolean complex who flunked out of ASA's initial and the ASST CP was the worst pilot I had ever flown with who'll be the subject and focus of an NTSB report in the not too distant future) when I applied for this job. I was not hired, but told I would be called when/if this position ever became open again; Yeah Right! Well, sure enough, when the position came open again a couple of years later, I got a call and email out of the blue asking if I was still interested, and oh, by the way, we sold the midsize jet and the G450 is less than 3 weeks from showing up, so we'll be sending you for a type right away. Went and interviewed, that went well, and now here I am, fresh out of school with a G450 (GV) type in my pocket, excellent salary, full benefits, cash bonus (the green stuff), what's a pop-up trip?, all pt 91, swap legs, airplane owner is as cool as they come, and the CP goes out of his way to make sure I have nothing to complain about. Sometimes it's word of mouth, and other times things just fall into your lap. Good luck.
