DSM based corportations

[acat]

I saw a few job openings in the Des Moines area on the internet. Mid American Energy, Kum and Go, and one that was confidential. Does anyone know anything about these companies? QOL, aircraft operated, compensation?
Thanks in advance!

Townsend Engineering operates a Citation X (or at least used to). Principal Financial has a reasonably large flight department. A long time ago, my sister, who was a fund manager for them, bumped into my PPL instructor (I got my PPL at DSM). He has CE500, 560XL, DA50 and DA200 ratings, so I assume Principal is using those types (or he got a new job that I didn't hear about).

Principal Financial (CE680 and CE560XL) Interviewed with them 2.5 yrs ago...didn't get hired because they wanted a "co-pilot" for their CE560XL. I was "over-qualified" so I was told. They are the type that fly on with PIC's and SIC's, no co-captains (so I heard anyway). Very strong company though.

Pioneer - (Lear 45 and 55, I think) I have two buddies that work there and they love it. I don't believe there is much turnover.

Kum and Go - (CE560) I don't know much about them.

Mid-American - (FA50) I haven't heard too much about them either.

TMC Trucking (Hawker 800XP) - Privately owned trucking company where they have 2 pilot's for one airplane. I know they just hired about 9 months ago.

A construction company which I can't remember their name. They fly a King Air 350 and 200. Ran into their CP a while back and he was cool to talk to.

Other than that, pretty limited there. Good luck.

McAninch flies there airplanes two pilot, are those numbers for PIC or SIC?

 

[7777]

I believe he said it was for PIC.

The last I heard McAninch flies the 350 with two and the 200 with one. But, That was a couple of years ago.
