GLEX job on Avcrew

[hogdriver00]

Anyone know anything about the GLEX job on Avcrew?

 

[Gulfstream 200]

I thought it sounded pretty interesting myself....

But it definitly says "you will be gone"...be great for a guy w/o a family

there are worse jobs than flying a GLEX and a BBJ around the world!

!!
Maybe someone here will know who it is

Complete Guess

not that many GLEX/BBJ operators.....perhaps Vulcan (P Allen's flight dept.)

G200--The BBJ is his "beater". You know, for short trips... TC

 

[some_dude]

TC, I think the beater over there is the GV!

Last I heard, PA had 2 757s, Global, GV, CL-601 (the real beater), Twin Otter, and various other stuff. However, maybe he added a BBJ to the fleet?

Did a quick look, your right two 75's.....no clue who this might be then.

This was the rumor that I heard.

The Challenger was purchased when PA purchased the Portland Trailblazers. Apparently PA's mother is a huge basketball fan and PA tried to buy the Sonics but they were not for sale. So he purchased the next closest team and a Challenger to take his mon to and from the games.

Its so rough being rich.

The planes are nothing....you should see the boat!

Absoulutely not Vulcan! Don't have any BBJ's. Something better.....B757's

 

[psysicx]

I thought the 757's were for his sports teams?And yes I have seen the boat and its hot.Also how hard is it to get on his flight department.

One of the Boeings is a dedicated (all 1st Class) sports team airplane. The other is a "family" airplane with a very nice interior. The GV and GEX are typical corprate airplanes of this stature. There is also a Twin Otter on amphipious floats, a F5B and a Alpha Jet. five or six helicopters which for the most part live on the yachts.


The flight department is robust to say the least. The Dir. of Ops has stated that he wants this to be the finest flight department in the world, and the best place to work bar none. So to answer your question it is a hard place to get your foot into the door, but having said that the HR department swings a lot of wait and has significant control over the final selection process. i.e., not just a who do you know type of a selection process. It does help though.

 

[psysicx]

So he operates one 757 for himself and one for his sport teams?Do you know anything about pay or schedules.Also don't they have a helo or two?

 

[AA717driver]

A couple guys in my department interviewed there a couple of years ago and said it wasn't that good of deal. They may have gotten turned down and were doing some PR...TC

A few years back, when TAG was running the Vulcan operation, I used to go to TAG recurrent up there with some of those guys, and I heard quite a bit about it. At the time, it sounded like an OK job-- not a dream job, but not terrible either.

Lots of schedule changes and short notice stuff-- kind of sounded like flying 135, only with reasonable staffing.
