NJ Typical Tour

[Guitar Guy]

As for internal recomendations, how much does it help to speed up the interview and hiring process? How would you recommend meeting and getting to know any of you guys? Thanks again for all the input.

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 actually have a 135 background. I appreciate everybodys help and hopefully sometime within the next year I'll be joining you. I really feel that NJ will be a good compliment to my mission in life.

Where do you live? I'm sure there are many NJ pilots that would take you up on a free beverage in trade for a letter of rec, if you are a reasonably likeable guy. If that doesn't work, hanging around any fbo in the country would probably do the trick.

Anytime any of you guys/gals are at PTK send me an email I'd be happy to come meet you somewhere and buy you one or two of your favorite beverage!

Internal recommendations are taken very seriously.

I like cheap beer, 12 year old scotch, and fine cognac.:laugh:

If you want to meet some NJA guys and make some friends, go to the FBO and look for the gold tie coming of the QS tail.

 

[Ultra Grump]

Go to an fbo, look for guys in gold ties.

Wait. What?

 

[CA1900]

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

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.
