I know someone who know's someone who works there so take this for what it's worth.

I think their pay & QOL is pretty standard for a corporation of that size. They are moving to an all G-whiz fleet I THINK but I can't say for sure. They do quite a bit of Intl flying and I've seen their airplanes in London more than once. I talked to their Chief Pilot once by chance and he seemed nice enough but also pushing retirement as are a few others there so this may be a good time to get in. I'm pretty sure that someone on this board is a pilot there so maybe he'll help you out a little.

Again, this is third hand knowledge so I could be completely wrong.

Anyone know if the position was filled? It appears to be off the website now, just wasted a bunch of time cleaning up the resume.

where are they located?

They fly out of KTKI, which is Mckinney TX. I was looking at them last year and they had a couple Gulfstreams, a Challenger, and one helicopter. I spoke with their most recently hired pilot and he was flying the Challenger, if I remember correctly. His opinion at the time was their next pilot would probably be dual rated in fixed-wing and rotorcraft. He is on this board, but I can't remember what his screen name was. Best of luck to everyone.

Just a fyi, Texas Instruments also has a flight department based at that airport. I believe they operate 2 GLEX's.
