EDS in Dallas

[tk855]

Does anyone have any type of information on EDS's (Electronic Data Systems) flight department? I am doing some research and would appreciate any type of information. Thanks in advance.

not in Dallas

EDS moved from Dallas to McKinney earlier this year.

They are operating a 601 Challenger and two GV's....oh an some whirly bird thingy.


...nice hangar though.

Have you been to the hangar Gatorman? I am in Mckinney as well. The chopper is an S76. Very nice.

I used to live in Mckinney and used to hang out alot at Aero-Country airport. When I got furloughed from AA I (like everyone else) was looking for work in the DFW area.

Too make a long story short I got to know an EDS Exec pretty well that owned his own hangar out at Aero-Country. He stated that EDS was going no where fast and that the idiots running that place would destroy a once great company (his words not mine)

Made it sound like EDS was on borrowed time.

That probably doesn't change your decision in trying to get a job there (if you are) but it doesn't sound like they are in the best financial shape.

Thanks for all of the information, I appreciate it.

Unfortunately this sounds like the same story any one of the airlines are in, except for Southwest!

I don't think that EDS is in any kind of trouble. They just built a 25,000 sq/ft hangar at TKI and if they were in financial distress, I'm sure they would be selling some aircraft instead of expanding their ops. Just my opinion.

It was about a year ago. However, I did just look at the financial statements and balance sheets and it looks like they are doing quite well.

He was probably just a bitter employee.

Dang I miss Mckinney.

Why don't you come back then. There are plenty of corporate ops on the field and I am sure that you could hook up with one of them.
