NJ Typical Tour

[CA1900]

And if you want to talk to a Falcon crew, look for the guys without the gold ties.

Ouch! That really hurt! ;-)

Having an internal recommendation does seem to speed up the process, but plenty of people also see results in a timely fashion without a rec. However, when pursuing a job, it never hurts to have the deck stacked in your favor.

As for meeting NJA crews, go to any FBO and look for the guys and gals in the, um, "spiffy" gold ties with blue slacks. Most of us are pretty friendly and would be happy to talk with you about the company and the job itself.

Good luck to you.

I'll second that. When I was interviewing, I pulled over just about every guy in a gold tie I saw walking through the terminal, not to mention the ones on my plane. I flew a guy up to MSP a while back and he was kind enough to stay and talk with me for 30 minutes after we blocked in to answer all my questions even though he was headed home. I was pretty impressed by that.

I also had an internal rec, and I can say that it certainly did help me get the ball rolling. BUT I was the only one in the interview that had one. So I guess it could go either way.

When you meet someone in a gold tie, be sure to mention to FlightInfo and get a free gift!

Just kidding.

Good luck to you, too.

"2" much time indeed.

Do they have any Mexican restaurants or good sandwich shops in SUN?

That Mexican Restaurant across from one of the hotels in town... surprisingly good for being that far from San Antonio.

I believe that's the one that we ate on Saturday night.

By the way, I think I counted 3 Mexican restaurants right along the main drag in Hailey. Looks like one opened up within just the past few weeks.

Sorry for the thread hijack, but maybe this part of the "typical tour".

HaHaHaHa

At NJA, "Typical Tour" is an oxymoron!

Do ya ever get time to squeeze in a round of golf on the road? Especially in the winter when you end up in warmer climates?

There's a golf course (or maybe just a driving range) literally nextdoor to our Embassy Suites in Scottsdale. I've never played golf, but sitting there at the manager's happy hour watching it is pretty relaxing.

Play golf? No, that takes away time better spent playing guitar...

I think I'm almost ready to go back to golf. Three years with the Yamaha travel guitar and I still can't play a freakin' barre chord.....:angryfire

Or eating salty snacks while the other guy has adult beverages.... :beer:

I have had occasion to play that course several times on layovers. There are many places we stay that you can get in a round if you are so inclined.
