Info

About 2 - 3 years ago Pro Pilot did an article about the flight department. Basically, the requirements for the Corporate Flight Department is the same as the other side of the house. 1000 PIC Turbine, etc. The reason being is that if after 3 years of service (or was it two??), the pilot could transfer over to flying the line.

Somewhere in some box I have a copy of the article. PM if you would like me to find it (may take a while) and send it to you.

The WWW is a beautiful thing! You can just about find anything, are you too lazy, too busy, or looking for the easy way out? Just wondering?

So is it easier to get on the the corporate flight department flying VP's around? I see they require a BS Degree. Is there any negotiating that? I am currently working toward BS and am a Junior. Funds are really tight so school is very difficult to pay for. Also are they still hardcore about the FE thing. I know that they oper

ate lots of 727.

I'll bite.....................You're joking, right?! :smash:

 

[av8er23]

Well the way out puts it....there is a flow thou from corporate to the airline. Maybe I totally mis understood him. I figured it was harder to get the corporate biz job with fedex.

Hey guys, I put my three years in there. Min's are basically the same as the freight side and yes you must have a degree. It's a GREAT job while it lasted, but corporate couldn't match the $$ that the cargo side offers. You must also have an executive recommend you for the job or be a part of the good ole boys network there. If you know what I mean!
