Hersheys, Alticorp, Nike are looking. What do they fly?

[lionflyer]

Alticor (Amway) has two or maybe Three Hawkers only and they are being replaced. The last that I knew, Alticor had not yet decided on an aircraft to replace them with. The rest of the Alticor fleet is made up of GIV's, GV's a brand new G550 and a Sikorsky helicopter .

They also have a Cessna CJ2 that one of the Devos "sp" family members owns and fly's himself. I don't know if any of the pilots still have to do baby sitting duty anymore or not, but I understand he is a good guy to fly with.

Right now Alticor has somewhere around 25 pilots and have hired three new pilots over the last year.

It's my understanding that they have a set pay scale based on seat position and years of service. The starting pay is $75,000 / year for a co-pilot and you can expect to fly two airplane types within your first year (HS125 & G?). They like to upgrade everyone to captain within about 1 1/2 - 2 years, and first year captain pay is $80,000. You can also expect to receive a very generous bonus each year. I've heard of bonus's in the neighborhood of $15,000 - $20,000 for the junior pilots and $20,000- $30,000 for the senior pilots.

They run a first class operation and the pilots there seem to be happy. I can't remember the Cheif Pilots Name (Randy ?) but he seems like a nice guy and I haven't heard anything but nice about him.

If you get on with Alticor, and get on the GV or G550 expect to be gone from home alot and plan on being in China and Asia (ALOT).

Hope this helps

What exactly is "ALOT"? A week, two?

 

[HS125]

Alticor currently has 14 hawkers. I have been flying into the hangar for over 3 years transporting a board director. Amway might have 2 but there are 14 in the hangar, some under RDV, some under DV sports, some under Horizons, and the many other names the company uses.

KSUSPILOT,

I don't know what to say to that, other than; Youre Wrong!

Alticor only has two Hawkers and there are no other hawkers that belong to the fore mentioned named companies in their operation. Alticor operates all aircraft owend by Alticor and the families that own Alticor. Including the 737 that is used for the sports team.

In fact, I just ran into an Alticor crew this morning and confirmed this fact with them.
