Little Rock job market????

[HawkerF/O]

Anyone know of anything open or coming open in Little Rock or thesurrounding area (Memphis or Dallas)? I am typed in the Hawker,2500 TT, 800 jet, and 135 current. LR is a small town and I knowthe jobs there are few at best. A heads up on anything in thearea would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[JJthejetplane]

ATI is looking for FO's for the DC8...if I remember right, you meet thier mins...

 

[RJW]

Central is looking for 135 Captain in a MU-300. Not many Hawker jobs there. Have been looking myself. The BE-400 is probably the most popular type to have in Arkansas.

I think Dillards is in LR. Tyson is also there or XNA.

Propilot who is ATI?

Dillards has Falcons.

 

[RJW]

The story I have heard is that the newest person that flies with Dillards has been on "contract" status for around two years.

 

[HawkerF/O]

Dillards has Falcons.

Dillard's has:

1 Falcon 900
1 Challenger 601
2 Lear 31s

Not sure it's Dillards, but I have seen a GV down their way, parked near the hangar that the Challenger was in with the registration number ending in BD like their other planes.

ATI = Air Transport International

I just looked, and it appears the ad has been pulled, but here's their web site for what it's worth.

Does Tyson have a flight department?

 

[asolo]

Dillards does have the Falcon, Challenger, and lears. They also have the G-V which they hangar in Greenville, MS apparently for tax purposes and also LIT doesn't have an available hangar big enough for it. I have heard the same thing about the contract pilot(s). However, if you can get on, it sounds like it is a better place than it used to be w/ the new chief pilot. Good luck

You always have to wonder how good of a place it is to work if they have a lot of contract pilots. Some guys prefer to be contract, but they are fewer and more far between than those who prefer full time employment.

If a guy is willing to hang around on a contract for two years in the hope of landing full-time employment, I would think it would have to be a dam good job. Either that or this guy is single and just doesn't want to move out of his mom's basement.

And yes, Tyson Foods has a rather large flight department. Global Express, Falcon 10's and 50 and maybe a Challenger.

 

[proav]

Tyson has two Falcon 50's and the Global based at XNA, the others are based in Iowa I believe.

I know of a quite a few corporate openings in Little Rock. Two guys I was in the military with have been flying out of Little Rock for 10+ years.

 

[BrokeAssPilot]

what openings do you know of in the rock?
