Heinz Chief Pilot Pay?

[AAflyer]

I would think Pittsburgh?

I am pretty sure that is where it is. My friend lives in DC, he said he took Airways up, but could have driven if needed. I was too busy listening to everything else, forgot what city he was talking about.

N257H and N357H, get the 57H? Heinz 57

From what I understand they just have the 2-GIV's out of Pittsburgh.

 

[G4G5]

G4G5 were you able to find another job or were you guys upgrading?

For the life of me i can't think of where heinz would be located. The ketchup not the lady. I know where she lives on beacon hill.

I literally just moved to the aircraft parked next to my old one.

They are located in Pittsburgh.

Heinz in a spiral dive

Last I heard Heinz Corp is not fairing too well these days.

Good luck!

 

[wolfpackpilot]

For what its worth. A classmate of mine worked there about 2 years ago. Hated it. No Checklist, no standards, and no Flight Attendants on long haul flights.

Maybe they let the CP go?

 

[wolfpackpilot]

double post, sorry.

Hello All,

I have a friend who interviewed for the position of CP with Heinz. (yes the ketchup and wife of you know who). My friend does not have corporate background and is unfamiliar with some of the pay scales. They have GIVs, if i am not mistaken.

Would would one expect for compensation? What would pay be at A Fortune 500 company like this on the GIV?

Thanks for your help,

AA

$125k> + benefits- but it really depends what you can negotiate.

It would have to pay 4mil/yr to put up with that horrendous pig of a woman.

Is that plus benefits?

125K for chief pilot?

Thats entry level pay on G/Glex/900 equipment, certainly not CP pay.

I know you put ">" in there...I say about 50K ">" than 125K is normal.

 

[AAflyer]

Thanks,

I thought it would be around 150K, considering what I heard the GIV guys get at 3M and Merck. I think they will offer him around that, however his contact said if it is not enough, let us know what is. He is ready to bail from AA, so $130 plus would probably swing him over.

Thanks

[AAflyer]

So, $170K would be more in line with market rates?

at least IMHO.

Im sure line guys can pull 150K.

20K more is not a lot to assume all the BS the CP has to deal with.

then again, its all what you negotiate.

It does not sound like it...but I just hope your AA friend is not the trendsetter of beat-up airline guys taking 175K jobs for 125K. We really dont need that, its hard enough to make a good buck in this business. Tell him to go high, they can afford the talent!

I have seen airline/mil guys average in thier pensions when considering pay and lowballing themselves. Departments love that, but those guys are $hit-eating dirtbags IMHO...(not that this is his intention by any means)

good luck to him!

Good luck getting that 'horrendous pig of a woman' to pay 175K. But you are probably right about the extra 20k or so for CP. So 150K would be good IMHO.

I flew her once .... VERY strange. He was very friendly and like to tell "stories."

I talked their old CP for quite some time. She sounds like an inconsiderate B%#tch. He spent more time running the APU than flying the airplane. I am sure the reason for a new CP.

Is this job for corporate or Ms. Heinz? They are completely seperate and have nothing to do with each other.

This job is for corporate! He does not have to fly Kerry or if I am not mistaken her ( is so not often).

As to the other comments, that is why I am doing a little research, I told him to ask around as well. He was military prior to airline, and he knows people over there that landed him the gig, however he is not aware of corporate pay, and this offer came at the last minute.

He would be the last type to drag down the pay, in fact our paycuts and QOL have been a big reason for his thoughts of leaving.

Thanks for the info,
AA

you can bet your a$$ she will use the company plane as much as possible to avoid spending on hers. All these billionaires do.

and hey, who knows...weird is kinda cool...and she is pretty damm cute! - maybe she parties like a rock star?

 

[FL420]

I flew her a number of times during the campaign but she usually preferred to fly in her own GIII, even when she and her husband were going to the same place. At the time she had one pilot who used contract co-pilots.

 

[G4G5]

The ketchup folks just purchased my old aircraft, last week. A high 1400's serial number low time G4. From what I was told she does not use the company aircraft all that much.

I would expect to see a salery in the $175-200k range plus stock options and bonus.

Thanks G4G5,

I forgot where you where based, you may even know him. Will drop him a line tonight. The kicker is they may also need 4 more pilots, and he would have say in who that is. Hmmmmmm.

Would you come back to AA, or will stay where you are?

PM me if you would like. I know this question can be asked often, but considering how fluid everything is, it is always good to get a current opinion.

Thanks,

AA
