Corporate Pilots In ATL

[hermes]

Looking to get out of 121. Anyone have suggestions on finding corporate work in the Atlanta area?

Good luck, my friend. I made that jump, but found that Atlanta is a hard scene to crack in to.

Yes, they are, and certainly apply if you are interested, but FlightWorks is not corporate, it is 135 Charter/Management. Most people already flying 121 would prefer to stay there over changing to 135 in my experience.

Part 91/corporate is a whole different world! For the size of the town, there aren't a lot of corporate positions around to often. There are a few big operators that are looking from time to time, but their hiring seems to be driven more by HR, quottas, and politics. Do the rounds at KFTY and KPDK and watch the employment boards.

Anyone know what types FlightWorks has been hiring onto recently? Are we talking Beechjets and CJs? Just curious.

Thanks

Flightworks had an ad on NBAA looking for Cessna pilots in Manassas, VA.

flightworks has a couple gulfstreams, citations, challengers, and a few other things I can't think of.

I'm sure someone will chime in, but f.w. has a less than stellar rep for being a good place to work.

I have 2 friends that work there and they both indicate it has gotten much better, but it is still charter.

Just FYI, Flightworks currently operates 8 Gulfstreams, several Hawkers, Citations, a few Falcons, Challengers..... the fleet consists of all managed aircraft so it will change from time to time, though.

I had a grand time while at FlightWorks, but I was one one of 6 91 only pilots at FW and based in JAX. You just about have to kick your dog and rape your grandma to get transferred there. We worked far less (about 4 RONs and 25 hours/month) and were paid much more (30% and better) than our 135 brethern and had increased per diem and reimbursements. Pay and bennies are average for a small/medium sized charter/management company. The company paid health care was by far the best benefit. I've posted much info on FW here, just search.

Tailwinds...

Has anyone ever had anything positive to say about this group? I loved the idea of working for one of the two coke operators until I started hearing a little. High turnover, tough boss seem to stick out in my mind.
