Perhaps the Best Corporate Job - EVER!

Possibly. But the chicks in the picture definitely aren't cattle.

Edit:

Ahhh! Bloody He!l Apparantly the linked thread on airliners.net was deleted. For those who come along and those who I don't think they looked at the link before you posted, it was the Limited's CRJ shuttle painted up in a Victoria's Secret scheme with Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks, and a few others posing on the airstair.

Gotcha. Haven't seen the hotties, but I have been witness to the boarding process several times. I believe that this daily debacle is the reason Atlantic TEB just underwent the big expansion/remodeling project. Every afternoon, dozens and dozens of these yuppie middle mgmt. briefcase toters descend on the FBO like locusts. I have had the misfortune of trying to round up our pax during this clusterf*ck, to escort them rampside. Ever tried to keep track of a bunch of 6 and 7 year olds at Disneyworld ? That's how it feels. Minus the 3 dozen simultaneous cell phone calls. Jeeeeeeezuz

You know I cannot speak for The Limited, but I don't think the Vulcan operation is any harder than many flight departments that I am aware of. Unpredictable sometimes, but I don't know if "VERY hard work" is a fair description. I bet there are a lot of flight departments with GV's, GEX, etc. that work every bit as hard if not harder. As a matter of fact I know a few guys who are doing exactly that. Like most professionals the Vulcan folks take pride in doing the impossible once and awhile. As long as the safety is not compromised, the mission is always first in everyones mind and the pride shows in the results.

No Doubt. I certainly never questioned professionalism or safety.

But I also know folks that work there. spew all the craap about mission and pride you want....waiting in Monaco for weeks on standby while the owner plays gets old!! - at least to me...

great people? great equipment? good looking f/a's? sure.... but thats not what I was talking about.

Working for a rich individual gives you a certain lifestyle - some think its cosmopolitan and cool - some would say it kinda $ucks.

I flew 380 hours last year. Split evenly between the G4 and the CRJ. Our shuttle duty day is 4.5 hours and you either do the AM run or the PM run but never both. We are on call between 8am and 6pm M-F. I've been quick called once since I started a few years ago.

On both domestic and international our pax stick to their schedules and 99.9% of the time they call if they are going to be late. And yes, on occasion we get to fly the models. I tell my buddies that we fly them a lot more than we actually do, so don't say anything.

Be related to CP. Know the CEO. Be engaged to his daughter.

Got a pic of his daughter?

PS - I'd rather fly their BBJ

Who do you have to be engaged to in order to fly that....his son?

A good friend got turned down there (even after I gave a glowing report to the background checkers--maybe that's WHY she got turned down!). She didn't know someone inside. TC

Yea, I know a few folks over there my self. The two week jaunts in Nice do happen during the summer, mostly for the Boeing guys and if that is the worst thing you can say about this operation, then so be it. If in your mind anyone with big bucks $ucks, then your probably in the wrong end of the aviation business. Proably should try SWA, at least there you will find yourself in the midst of your own kind. BTW I don't spew craap (sp)? Suggest that maybe you did not make the cut during their last hiring. I think I know the guys that you know and take my word for it, it shows.

Perhaps the Best Corporate Job - EVER!

Right now I think it's mine.

How long does it take to upgrade to the BBJ at Limited brands?
