[FL530]

Has anyone here evere personally flown for a celebrity? How do you get the job of flying a celebrities personal jet?

Flying the rich & famous

You might want to pose your question on the Fractionals board.
Most Celebrities use an outfit like Warren Buffet's NetJets, where they own a frational share of a business jet. Unless your talking about a celebrity such as G.W. Bush; then you'd need to be a colonel in the United States Air force

I have flown some celebs at a low-end 135 job a while back.
99% of them $uck to fly for, they are never on time, and the a$$hole assistants they all seem to have are even worse.....the worst crowd is by far the hollywood crowd....only nice one I can remember is Michael Douglas.

A friend of mine says that Morgan Freeman is a nice guy. He owns a piece of a Hawker.

Danny DeVito was cool. Andy Card, Tony Snow, Madelaine Albright, Henry Kissinger....every one a model passenger.

The ones who aren't, I can't mention.

Another friend flew Britney, and didn't recognize her (she travels under an assumed name). Dispatch asked him if he liked flying her, and he was incredulous. "I thought she was just a good looking young girl!!"

Priceless.

Morgan Freeman is also a pilot. He was working on his Instrument ticket while out here filming "The Big Bounce" on the North Shore of Oahu last winter. He's also Godfather to the kids of a very close friend of mine, so naturally I hear nothing but great things about him.

I met Morgan Freeman in Clarksdale, MS where he lives. My cousin is a manager of his club "Ground Zero" there. He's an awesome guy and has done so much for my cousin and his wife.

I know this sounds odd, but we fly a lot of Hollywood types from LGB. Odd, but true. They're buying tix on jetBlue.

Doogie Howser, Danny Glover, Anna Nicole one of the ladies from 30 Something, the rich mother on Dharma and Greg, the court reporter from Judging Amy.

Now that I've written that, don't think I spend my overnights surfing. I actually had to be told by the Flight Attendants which shows some of these folks were on. Honest!

Unless you are John Travolta, then you do'nt need someone else to fly you, He sure has it rough .
I do'nt know anything about Morgan Freeman other than he is an awesome actor, and it sounds like he is a great guy.

We flew Eddie Money and his wife and kids, very nice. Joe Thesiman a little big in the head, George Carlin bithched a lot about the A/C, Evander Holyfield very nice but comes with multiple escorts, spike lee very quiet, thats about all I have run across.
