NBAA Convention

[501261]

Who’s at the NBAA convention, just in case I can put a face with a screen name?

If you’re wondering, if there is any news coming out of the NBAA, well there is..... Cessna has announced they will come out with 2 new jets. A CJ3 (slightly larger CJ2) and a Personal Jet (4 pax seats, 340 knots, $2.3M).

Hahaha... just like 4 days ago Cessna vehemently (sp?) denied the "Personal Jet" rumor....

Was trying to go, but all my attempts to find transportation have fallen through.

Well the actual announcement will be on Tuesday at 11AM EDT, but I would think this source is very reliable. They have a mock up and preliminary numbers on paper. So I might still be wrong.

Can anyone please tell me whether or not the NBAA convention is a good place to hand out resumes and look for a job. Any tips would be appreciated. I am planning on heading up on Wednesday.

thank you,
dude

PM me if you need to.

$50 is a little too steep for me to get on the ramp! You'll see me in my R/W seminole 4500-5500 ft NW of Lake Apopka....well, hopefully, you'll see me....just had to evade a bizjet today while maneuvering.

Well, it's probably the best networking opportunity in the industry, but I don't think I'd overtly hand out resumes (unless someone asked for one).

It's official now, a CJ3 and Cessna "Mustang" is the personal jet.

Got a ride. Whee hoo! See ya there tomorrow.

Can someone please offer more advise on whether or not the convention would be a good oppotunity for me to look for a Lear FO position, or any pilot position. 501261 thank you for your advise, however I am looking for some input on the format of the convention. A few questions I have are: Is it outside? or inside? are there charter companies and fractional companies and Part 91 corporations with booths set up, and human resources people on hand willing to talk to me about job opportunites?etc... I am considering spending what little money I have on a drive up to Orlando tommorrow, and don't want to be disappointed. All advise is greatly appreciated.

regards,
dude
