Any idea who to contact for a job at Home Depot's Flight Dept?

 

[LandRoverNut]

I meet a guy who flys for a developer who builds for Home Depot. It seems the pilots fly for the developer, Home Depot, and S. Truett Cathy(founder chic-fil-a) in some X's and other aircraft. Home Depot has at least one airplane at Newnan, GA (CCO)

Even if someone walks your stuff in, you'll still get a postcard asking you to register your resume and other info through their website. Best to start there.

home depot does not have a plane at newnan, ga. Chicfila and stan thomas have a shared plane there. unless u want redneck, underpaid, over religious bak woods job stay away. they will however for $10,000 let u ride right seat in there X to build time. That is if the CEO of CFA isnt flying in it. Fact: Accident rate is 60% more likely if a non professional pilot is in the cockpit of a business jet. Have agood day.

I filled out the online application last week but haven't heard anything either...OH, wait a minute !! That was for a job wearing an orange apron and stocking shelves.

That's probably not what you were talking about...

I did rather enjoy the part where I had to enter the hourly wage from my last employer...they're probably thinking it's a typo.

Yes, the Home Depot is based at FTY. I don't believe that they share their aircraft with anyone.

As for the Chickfila, you accurately described their corporate culture. I can't believe that old guy that owns it can fly though. They may be a bunch of religious nuts, but they make the best chicken sandwich in the world (I understand that they marinate the chicken in dill pickle juice).

[Smitty]

strange they would still be looking for somone as from what I have seen here, and what I know about my friends, they already have pilots that filled out the app. with anywhere from low hours to very high hours and they didn't like any of them? Hmmm.

 

[cosmotheassman]

Did any of your friends meet their criteria? I.E., black female with a spanish surname?

 

[Smitty]

Is taking it in the deuce considered a requirement?

 

[globalexp]

Maybe I've missed a post, but I see HD's Glex is for sale. Is it being replaced?

 

[sydeseet]

Now that is interesting. They are re-running the add for the pilot opening so I expect for them to not be down-sizing the department at the same time. Maybe they're getting a new GBEX XRS???? Or maybe GVFlyer finally talked them into a G-550? Or maybe they've decided to invest in a fleet of C-208's with tundra tires to land in the store's parking lots. It could happen.

 

[wildbill]

I heard rumors they are trying out a GV because the GLEX has been unreliable.

 

[AA717driver]

GLEX unreliable? Huh? TC
