[Ghetto Buck]

Just been offered an interview with North American. What fleet are they hiring for? do you still need an internal reference to get in, and is there a sim assesment involved.In another life i was captain B727 B737-3-4-5-7NG.
Would appreciate any info, not flamebate.
Thanks

Looks like they were awarded part of a 1.1 billion dollar deal with the airforce. Sounds like a good place to be.





U.S. awards airlift contracts worth up to $2.3 billion

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Air Force said on Monday it awarded a series of contracts valued at up to $2.3 billion to civilian airlines to provide emergency airlift services to the military for the next year.

The contract awards under the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program included up to $1 billion for FedEx Corp. (NYSE:FDX - News) and up to $1.1 billion for the Alliance Contractor Team, which includes Evergreen International Airlines Inc. and North American Airlines Inc.

Under the annual airlift awards, the Air Force can order services up to the total amount for each carrier, though actual requirements may be lower.

Civilian airlines commit to support the Pentagon's airlift requirements in emergencies when there are not enough military aircraft to meet all its needs.

The minimum guaranteed value of the contract is listed first, followed by the estimated contract value based on current Defense Department contract airlift operations.

Team members awarded at least 25 percent of the minimum guarantee are listed in brackets:

-- Alliance Contractor Team (Evergreen International Airlines, Inc. and North American Airlines, Inc.), $142 million, $1.1 billion.

-- FedEx (Air Transport International LLC and Atlas Worldwide Holdings, parent company of Atlas Air, Inc., and Polar Air Cargo, Inc), $185 million, $1 billion.

-- UPS (NYSE:UPS - News; Kalitta Air, LLC) $25 million, $119 million.

-- Miami Air Team (Miami Air International), $11 million, $43 million,

-- Continental Airlines, Inc. (NYSE:CAL - News), $1.7 million, $10 million.

-- Lynden Air Cargo LLC., $42 million, $45 million.

In addition, Grand Air Holdings Inc., Hawaiian Airlines, Inc., MN Airlines LLC, Northern Air Cargo, Inc., and Spirit Airlines Inc. were awarded contracts valued between $6,000 and $1.3 million, the Air Force said.

The first thing I'd do is drop the signature block. They care about your flying experience, not your rank.

 

[bigboeings]

There is no sim eval, and they only have 75's and 767s

So true, but us Navy guys learn quicker than the Air Force!

 

[e=mc2]

Thats why they call them Aviators in the Navy and Pilots in the Air Force!

 

[Glacialfury1906]

Does anyone have any educated, non sarcastic information with regards to North American...ie, what are their hiring requirements? are they hiring? what are the typical trips like? what is the quality of life? what is the general opinion of the place, meaning are the pilots somewhat content (I know no one ever seems happy now a days)

 

[bigboeings]

sorry, but I found that hilarious for some reason!

 

[Flydaplane]

Giant Killer/Dan/Colonel Tailor...Thank you for your service in the military and congratulations on achieving the rank of Colonel and retiring after years of service to your country.
Don't take offense at those who trivialize this and try to insult via message board, at least you're not afraid to include your name in your postings.

 

[AV8N4Fun]

Does anyone know if NAA is hiring those w/out B757/767 experience? How dedicated are they to the interior recommendations(can someone still get in w/out knowing someone?)? Thanks

 

[pookie]

wow a colonel. Give him a job and a raise to go with it!

 

[B190Captain]

How do u even apply?

 

[NAAPilot]

You can apply through the website Northamericanair.com or flynaa.com. Ideally if you know somebody here at NAA then have them submit your resume as internal recs are the best way to a job here.

 

[LittleLearBoy]

B190Captain, Do you have 57000 minutes on those girls in your little pic???

NICE!!!!

 

[bigboeings]

I was going to comment on her too!! wow!

I don't work for NAA but I ran into some of the new hire class in MIA. one of them came from the regional. I'm not sure about the other guys.

Good luck.

B190Captain,

[HOURBUILDER]

hi

i cant find the hiring minimums for NAA, anyone know what they are?

thanks

 

[LittleLearBoy]

I think they like to see 5000TT. I am not sure about PIC or jet time.

 

[B190Captain]

I checked the site and pilot jobs are not posted. Do I send a resume anyway?

 

[bigboeings]

Go ahead they dont really publish Mins, mostly internal recs, but it cant hurt to put it in.

 

[Flinch N Flare]

11 day trips and lots ot time in Kuwait, Bahrain and Kyrgystan. The positions are opening from those who are leaving to go elsewhere in search of quality of life.

I have Been with NAA just over a year and the longest trip I have done is a 6 day. Yes many people are leaving, recalls at US Air, Delta, ATA, Hired at UPS. Been to Kuwait maybe 5 times.

 

[N817AA]

Are you guys home based?

 

[bigboeings]

No we are not home based, and I went to KWI 3 times last year as a junior pilot, The 10 day trips go very senior.
