Anyone have any information about the Nissan Motors flight department? Thanks in advance!

Based in Smyrna, TN. You mostly fly a Hawker domestically but do a tour on the G550 which is based in Guam.

There are a couple of Capt.'s based in Guam full time to run that operation and the FO's just rotate in and out from the States.

The guy I know from there has been pretty happy but it's been awhile since I talked to him.

Good discount on cars. TC

Sounds like a good gig...wonder if they are hiring in the future??

Thank you for this info! Any idea what type of Hawker and is it just 1 of them or do they have a few?
Side note: What would a new Hawker pilot make in a position like this? Just looking for a rough estimate. Thanks!

Looks like a 2001 800XP, registered N240Z.

G550 is N155AN, often seen in Paris LBG, flights to Tokyo among other long range destinations...

I ran into one of their Hawker crews a while back in Jackson, MS. It sounded like a pretty solid company.

The only unique thing I remember was that they have regular destinations that they fly to each and every week.

I think Nissan just filled the Hawker position.

I actually heard through the grape vine today the same thing. Just hired a new pilot. Who knows how many more years before they hire again. No one leaves good corporate jobs!

yes, they just hired someone

I met a crew in JAN on 240Z, very busy but happy. Looked like a nice Hawker aircraft.
From the outside, it looks like a good corporate job.

aviator82- I urge you to keep all your options on the table. And, if you want corporate, I would be more diversified in your search and not just one company or local. That search is a dead horse!
You are correct, most don't leave a good corporate job but many (and going forward) are retiring!! Keep your name out there and to any company you are interested in working as a career.
