Job Openings

[onewithwings]

This is a repost because I couldn't figure out how to "undelete" the previous thread.

For those of you who are unemployed or underemployed (like me) here's a good one~

California Pacific Airlines is hiring: http://www.flycpair.com/

A regional start up out of the newly renovated Carlsbad Airport flying E170's. I read an article on "Cranky Flier" that gave it a thumbs up. They have the money, the aircraft and the market.
If you've never been to Carlsbad, CA it's a must see. One of my very favorite towns in So Cal. BEAUTIFUL with a lot of history.


Side note: My buddies at Virgin America tell me they will have more openings soon.

Happy Dispatching!

OWW~

It appears that VX has three postings for "Dispatcher", right now. I'm not sure if that means they are hiring for three positions of if they just forgot to delete the old ones.

I do know of a couple of people that have made the move to Burlingame and they seem generally happy with job & company.

They've had this posting up for at least the past 2 months now without closing it. Odd.

I know for a fact they have ordered more aircraft. More aircraft...more dispatchers. Should be a good thing.

Thanks Walter!
I've made this thread a "sticky" and useable for anyone who wants to post job openings for DX or CX positions. It will make for a quick "go to" for anyone seeking employment in the industry.
