krispy kreme

[uscpilot]

Does krispy kreme have a flight department. I would assume it would be in Winston Salem. I heard that they just had a King Air. I figure that at the rate they are growing that they will be in need of more A/C and thus more pilots.
Thanks

About ten years ago I worked at an FBO that did some work on their plane. Back then it was a King Air 200. I seem to remember them having a Lear 31 or 35 also.

And yes, they were out of Winston Salem (KINT).

KK

They now have a LR 60 and a Falcon 2000. Based here in INT. Was wrong about the 2000 they have a 900,sorry. Was at the airport today and checked it out and it looks as if it is crewed by Piedmont-Hawthorne. Mobs

I didn't know they purchased a F2TH, wow that's a lot of flour to buy that baby. I've heard less than favorable things about their chief pilot. Not to spread hear-say, but an INT pilot was pretty turned off by their flight department management. I don't think they are hiring anyone right now anyway.

In their defense, I always see them carrying boxes and boxes of those delicious Krispy Kremes onto that gold Lear when they loading up at Piedmont-Hawthorne.

I'd consider it a job perk.

I flew some of their executives on a contract trip last year. I flew to Denver to pick them up in heavy snow, when the runway was buried, and we had to turn around on the runway and load there due to the amount of snow...had to send them to the runway in a car. It was a short notice deal, busted our keysters to get them to LAS.

Not only didn't they tip (not expected, but nice)...they gave us one coupon for box of donuts. Not one coupon each, but one coupon between the two of us. And it wasn't a free box of donuts. Buy a dozen, get another dozen free.

Forget the rumors...bunch of chintzy cheap bastards. And to top it all off, they don't even make a real donut...just some pathetic glazed contraption, instead of a real cake donut.

Alas, the great donut debate returns.

My vote is for a Cinnabon.

OK, you lost us there.
You are mad because they didn't give you free doughnuts that you don't like anyway?

The "free" doughnuts are at the FBO they are based at every morning. What do you expect? The execs flying around with the doughnut maker in the plane and a "hot doughnut now" sign on their briefcase.

Nothing irks me more than hearing pilots begging for tips. You want a tip, be a waiter. I don't hear AMEs asking for a tip after a physical.

PS...Krispy Kreme is the best doughnut on the planet. Dunkin Doughnuts are "dunked" to hide the taste. Blah, taste like cardboard.

 

[uscpilot]

Cinnabon makes doughnuts?? I thought they made sweet rolls. Oh whell i guess im arguing semantics.
I must admit that krispy kreme is way better than dunkin doughnuts.

 

[avbug]

Nobody is begging for tips. However, if they're going to give out a pathetic coupon, at least give one to both crewmembers...and one that's buy some get some free? What's next? Handing out coupons clipped from the morning paper? Why not hand a penny to someone and say, "Here ya go. Don't spend it all in one place!" Kind of an insult.

Cake donuts were rained down upon Israel in the old testament; manna from heaven.

Glazed donuts ala krispy kreme are inspired by the devil.

Coupons..

NOW, if they were coupons for say BBQ, now your talking...
BBQ=YUMMIE!! WHo needs doughnuts anyway..BBQ rules..

 

[Fokkerflyer]

I'd rather eat a 3 day old Krispy Kreme donut than a fresh Drunken Blownuts donut.

Good thing I don't work for them, I'd be 350 lbs and wouldn't fit in the Lear.

ROFLMAO!

Maybe that's why it is a Lear 60 and not a 31, they need the wider body.

I think I saw the plane last week, it said "Doughnut One" on the side of it.

Nice attempt to hijack the thread!!!! I was wondering when someone would make the move? BTW I forgot to give mention to good spot for all who might find their way to APA.
Try Caldonia's, about a 10-15 min drive from the airport, great ribs, lots of cold frosties to wash'em down and a couple beach v-ball courts. Plus the scenery is usually pretty good.

There, I've made my attempt, BBQ rules!!!!!!!!!!!
