Thanks.

Starting pay for FO was 65 to 67 grand depending how fast you can talk or walk... Dont think they have hired in quite a while as theyve gotten rid of several of the G wizzes.... about a dozen

Why has EJI been selling off G-whizzes? Which types - GIVSP or GVs? Has this resulted in any redundancies? Are they just adding GVs as they reduce GIVSPs?

What's the story at EJI - rough waters ahead? I have had my stuff in for quite a long time but I have heard NADA............

The boys from Bluffton are getting bigger again. Next Gulfstream delivery is in the July/August timeframe and the aircraft is completely sold already.

They are getting a few more G's this year but they are replacements for out of warranty aircraft. No new hiring according to the individual I talked to(who is in THE position to know).TC

Schedules work as others have said.

Starting pay as of 2001 (when I got hired) was 67-72k, which was up about 2 grand from 2000. Second year, and any other year, for that matter, is dependent on the company's financial health and the economy, but you can generally expect 3-7% raises yearly. Not the best deal on earth, but not too shabby considering everyone else is cutting pay. The jump to captain, of course, is more substantial (about 18-20%).

Upgrade times depend on how many jets we have and how many folks we hire. For our initial class, we were told to expect 4-5 yrs, where it only took 1.5 yrs in the heyday of the late 90s. Still, an FO for 4-5 yrs is better than furloughed indefinitely, especially since I budgeted my life around starting salary; everything from here on is gravy money.

No bases. Live anywhere in the country with scheduled airline service. Actually, I should say "base" anywhere in the country, since we have an F/A who practically lives in Ireland!

No hiring for the forseeable future, but we just started an initial hire class this week, so I am no longer the bottom of the list!

Hope that gives you the straight scoop.

Zman300,

A few questions. Are all newhires assigned to the GIVSP or do some newhires get to fly the GV? Are the GV drivers all pretty senior - including the FOs?

Once you can fly the GV, do you stay on that or do you mix it up with GIVSP flying?

How would you describe a weekly flying schedule (I know that every week is different)? Do you seem to hit certain areas more than others - Europe, Hawaii, Caribbean, Aspen/Vail, etc.?


Thanks - I would love to be a newhire myself...

No, no AA717, I know THE guy who is in THE big time position to know!
Yup!

 

[AA717driver]

redeye--You're right. I think the guy I was talking to was sandbagging me.

Appologies to all for relying on only one person.TC

A/C assignment is based on need, so if you're hired on when we're taking delivery of a G-V, you'll be offered a position in that. Once you're in the G-V, you don't bounce back and forth with the G-IV. The G-V FOs will come to the G-IV as captains when their tour in the V is up.

No such thing as a typical rotation. You usually just airline to and from work on your 1st and last days and fly trips in between, but not always. The region is a crap-shoot, but generally, if you make it to Europe, you'll prob stay there a couple days. I just finished a Caribbean tour last week.
