Eric is not the Chief Pilot. He is the pilot recruiter. And whatever you do, do not fax him or send him a resume. It will be deposited into File 13 once it arrives.

The only way Eric will look at a resume anymore is if it's sent through the online application process at flightoptions.com, no exceptions. It's my understanding he got rid of all the paper resumes on his desk and started from scratch with the online applications. If you had a paper resume with him, it's gone. Re-submit it again online. Good luck.

Eric.

Human Resources, Pilot Recruitment, Jack of All Trades, you pick it. I don't know his exact title, he could have one of several. If you send anything, it'll be passed along to him.

Hail Eric

Eric is so great let's sing him a hymn, shall we.

[Dep676]

Somebody not get a call or get hired?????????????????????

 

[choppengruven]

I'd be sour too if I had 8000 hours and was still an Fo. Dohhh did I say that?

 

[witchdoctor]

Sour

Chop, I am certainly not sour for being an FO w/8000k, infact I have more jet PIC time than your total time. And we all make our choices on where we fly don't we?
Anyway back to Eric, I just think it is funny how guys on this board almost idolize these yahoos that are in charge of hiring and so forth.
As for the the other dude that replied, no I have not applied to FO nor do I intend to, though I am sure that it is a fine position to have. Best of luck to all who wish to be there.

I don't think anyone here idolizes Eric. They were just telling the guys that think he's some kind of idiot that they are wrong. If you could meet the guy he is a super nice guy. So for someone to say that he is an idiot without meeting him is either bitter that they didn't get hired or hasn't gotten a call. It took me two years to get the call and get hired. I never once thought any bad things about the guy.

 

[hawkercpt]

I am a pilot here. Have met him. Still think he's an idiot! He's so biased and up the company's ass it's ridiculous! Kenn is gone and he is still a butt kisser!!!
Keep trying guys.
If you have sent a resume in, do it again with the online application. He has **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** canned ALL of the paper resumes on his desk. Well that is the latest word anyway.

Good luck to all!

"Raytheon Aircraft, Teal added, is very much on the market, but so far its asking price has been unrealistic. Unless it finds a way to pull itself out of its current tailspin, Raytheon Aircraft could soon find itself sold off in pieces, said Teal."

Text from Raytheon Link

Raytheon Weakest Player
Raytheon Aircraft is the weakest of the major players, and for good reason, the Teal overview stated. Deliveries last year gave Raytheon just 9 percent of the total market. Development costs related to the Premier I and now Hawker Horizon have hurt the business. An order by NetJets for 50 Horizons at the 1999 Paris Air Show seemed to establish that airplane as the dominant model in the super-midsize segment, “although there have been serious technical problems with the design,” said Teal.

(When pressed by AIN, Aboulafia was unable to be specific about the “problems,” conceding he inferred them on the basis that technical issues encountered in the delayed Premier I program may have “translated over to the [delayed] Horizon [program]. But we can’t tell you. We believe there was something more substantial than just bad management.” Raytheon insists the program is technically on track. “There are no technical problems with the airplane,” according to a Raytheon spokesperson. “We are very pleased with the Horizon.”)

Raytheon Aircraft, Teal added, is very much on the market, but so far its asking price has been unrealistic. Unless it finds a way to pull itself out of its current tailspin, Raytheon Aircraft could soon find itself sold off in pieces, said Teal.

In the so-called very light jet segment, Teal predicts the Cessna Citation Mustang and Eclipse 500 are the only designs that have realistic chances of showing any promise. Most other proposals have foundered or stagnated, and even with new jets in the pipeline–Teal mentioned a Honda HFX-powered airplane in the contemplation phase at Learjet, an all-new Premier I-size airplane from Fuji and a New Piper design that would use the Williams FJX as possible contenders–airplanes in the sub-Mustang class won’t have much of an impact, it predicts.

Dominance by the large, established players will continue, as will the bias against startup companies, said Teal. The larger companies have the resources to develop new models and withstand cyclical downturns. The deck seems completely stacked against new market entrants, and conditions look to stay this way for the predictable future. After all, Teal points out, only one all-new market player–Embraer–has succeeded in delivering more than one jet-powered airplane per month on a sustained basis in the last 40 years.

The most vulnerable of the established market segments is the super-midsize category, Teal said. The Raytheon Hawker Horizon, Bombardier Challenger 300, Cessna Citation Sovereign and Gulfstream 200 all face high levels of risk and uncertainty, owing to a crowded market, which makes this category all the more vulnerable during a downturn. Super-midsize airplanes also face pressure from a number of current, past and future models in similar price/capability ranges, namely the Dassault Falcon 50, Citation X, Hawker 1000 and Gulfstream 300.
