Just don't show up with a Hershey bar in your flight case!

 

[cosmotheassman]

That's real helpful. Thanks for your effort. If anyone else can answer any questions I would appreciate it.

P.S. Jeff, I hope you're having fun on furlough...

Don't laugh

Don't laugh ... I knew of someone who went for a very later stage interview at an Atlanta institution which is a major Coke shareholder (from a Woodruff gift), and out of habit ordered a Diet Pepsi at lunch.

True story. He didn't get the job. Sometimes the obvious isn't that obvious.

I thought it was funny, Jeff. TC

 

[Jeff Helgeson]

At least I have been able to keep my sense of humor!

My advise and those that have posted have happened before......

FED EX your application to UPS...

Corp. pilots for a beer company seen by the boss on a layover drinking a non-company beer...

etc...

I hope you find the info.

Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers.

Good friend of mine was laid off from there...

A tough place to crack, they have several people on the waiting list and with megers the list grew even more. Nestle corporate also does not have a problem putting thier peeps on commercial flights, lessens the need for a larg(er) flight dept..

For what it's worth though.. a mix of domestic and international work, trips varied from 3-4 day to a week to 10 days. If I remember they did not have a set 7 on/off but it was a mix based on need and a/c assigned to. Pay was good, they put you up in 5 star places and set you up with a rental while you sit and wait and wait some more.

I know my buddy is on the list once and IF they are looking to hire again, he is also several down the list.

You weren't ruffling my feathers jeff. I was just looking for someone to genuinely answer my questions, not be a smart a$$. But, your behavior is about par from someone that works for AA.

dondk, thanks for the help and the info.

Has anyone ever just flat out told you that you're a douchebag??

 

[cosmotheassman]

If you can't tell, I hate American Airlines so, your petty comments only add to it.

Um I don't know anyone at or anything about NESTLE, but I am curious why a simple joke would cause you to make a statement like you HATE American Airlines. I think a deep breath would be advisable before you go looking for, or talking too that NESTLE contact. ( Did you get turned down by American)?

Isn't Nestle a Swiss company? Where are they based and what are they operating?

 

[AA717driver]

Cosmo--Jeff is a former TWA Captain furloughed by AA. I guarantee he hates AA more than you...TC

 

[cosmotheassman]

I only wanted someone to answer a question. If you look toward the end of any posts on this website, the topic being discussed is never about the original question. It frustrated me that the first response out of the box was a smart a$$ remark.

No, I did not get turned down a position at AA. I've never applied there and never will. I hate AA because of the repeated poor customer service of the phone reps, ticket agents, gate agents, flight attendants, etc...
I was hoping for some real information and to not let my post get side tracked by immature comments. I guess I was wrong in looking here for information. If I offended anyone, I apologize.

 

[Flythis]

Jeff,

Nice to see that you upgraded (at TWA). Sorry I missed the party. I didn't know you were that senior to me?

I knew a guy that deposited a proverbial Hershey bar (actually I think it was more like Hersheys syrup, but I digress) is his flight case on the way back from the Ditch at 10,000ft with 9 japs watching. When you got to go, you got to go.

Regards,

Your former BWI commuter buddy, out of work, AA hater.

 

[Huggyu2]

Wow, Cosmo... you're a real charmer. I'm sure your attitude will get you far in life, not to mention this business.
Ever had a Nestle product you didn't like?: I guess that means that all Nestle employees should be hated.
Your comments are what I'd expect from someone who works for ________.
Have a nice day.

 

[cosmotheassman]

with a name like huggy, I'm sure you are a real charmer with the boys...

I think the "waiting list" is a myth. Lots of people on this board say that inside contacts are important in corporate aviation, and I'm sure that's still true to a degree.... its always good to network with your peers.

However, the rules have changed over the years. It used to be that if you had a buddy in a flight dept, and you were recommended, you would have an interview with the CP and if he felt you would work out ok, you were in.

Its not like that anymore. I believe that HR plays a far larger role now, and I suspect that company lawyers have input, especially in regards to discrimination issues, having a politically correct ethnicity and gender balance, etc.

The element of timing has also changed in the hiring process. It used to be that hiring decisions were made within a few days of an interview. Not so anymore. Weeks or even months often go by before a candidate is given an offer or rejected.

 

[AA717driver]

Ok, at least cosmo hates AA for the same reason a lot of people do.

Flythis--I had an FO who used to work for TransStates and Central Air Freight who had a million "hershey" stories. Laughed my a$$ off. But he wasn't very smart. He left TWA in 2000 to work for SWA because he lived in AUS. Moron missed out on that lucrative AA seniority number... TC

 

[Jeff Helgeson]

Cosmotheassman only want serious replies....

That's all the guy was asking about fractional pay.

I guess that doggie door only opens one way!

So, did you get that dream job flying for Nestle or are you still eating Hershey bars?

Where is Nestle based and what are they flying?

 

[dingo222]

NEstle is based out of Glendale Ca. THey are about 2 blocks from my place here, since you asked. Not sure what they fly, but it's prob based out of VNY or BUR. I'll walk down there and schmooz with the nerds drinking a $4 starbucks that I can't afford on my CFI paycheck and see what I can find out for ya.
