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.

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.

Whats up with Arinc seems like ever other month they are hiring Coordinators.

Is that with there corporate flight planning department or radio operations?

The radio ops are based in SFO and Long Island, NY, respectfully and the pay is not that great for living in those locales, according to the last starting pay rate I saw some months back.
