Not HOME DEPOT, it's OFFICE DEPOT as your Title line says. It's located in Delray Beach. I understand that it's a non-flying position, though.

First question I'd ask is why they aren't promoting from within the department?

Their dept mgr was recently fired. From what I understand, the troops were happy to see him go. My source says that the dept has had lots of personnel mismanagement (sexual harrassment allegations, etc.) so maybe they're looking for professional manager who can deal effectively with people rather than a pilot/manager.

Office Depot flies a Challenger 604 and a Hawker 800XP, based at Signature PBI.
