Hewlett-Packard Flt. Dept.

At their job listings, I noticed that they (re)posted their "Pilot I" position as of 12/15/05. Before that, there was a post as of 10/22/05. So what exactly does that mean? Did they not interview/hire pilot(s) for the 10/22 posting so they needed to repost the same position? Just wondering if anyone here knows the inside scoop.

My gut says they probably made a few offers but were turned down after pilots realized the cost of living in Silicon Valley.

They've lost 6 of 21 pilots in the last 6 months. Not because of cost of living, either...TC

No, I believe that about says it all. Go there if you want.

A 25% attrition rate from a F500 GV operator in that time period says a lot.TC

Lots of people go there, thinking it's great job, a GV for a F50 company, once they realize the department needs "leadership", people that can find other jobs leave.

would they take a look at a 1200 hr pilot with 121 turboprop experience?

I sent 'em a resume, never heard a peep. Ah well.

Probably no shortage of people in the Bay Area looking to grab the "brass ring".TC

There are a lot of "brass ring" jobs on that are discussed on this board. It is funny how the best jobs going are often for people that you have never heard of.
