Everything is done online. If they like what they see you will get a call to set up a phone interview. Then a face to face. Four openings right now.

Saw that Ryan reposted on Careerbuilder 3/4/2011 ... Does anyone have any info about that? Are they actually looking to fill some spots or just accepting resumes? Also, any idea about the pay and schedule? Thanks!

 

[dispatchguy]

Word around the campfire is the new director wants more staffing - so I think a reasonably experienced resume would get a call...

 

[SKC]

They've needed more staffing for several years.

It's a GREAT place to pad your resume.

True dat.

That be the plan...

They do a lot of the same type of flying we do and I can tell you this... I learned 100's of times more information at a place like Ryan than I ever did pushing releases at a regional.

If you want to do some really different than just daily out and backs, and release flights to some really interesting (and not so interesting) places than this is a great gig to learn some great stuff. Never did I think I can show up to work and then release flights to Tegucigalpa, Havana, and Gitmo all in the same day. Not to mention all the obscure military airports out there as well.

Good chance to learn some ETOPS and military operations as well.

 

[SKC]

One of the things I'll always say about my time there was that if there's a strip of pavement 5000' long, anywhere in the world, we either went there or tried to go there.

Hauled around all sorts of sports teams, U2 and Sting on various tours, Beyonce and Jay-Z for her birthday bash in NAS, the Queen of Swaziland, a Georgian princess, White House Press Corps, the Saudi nationals on the charters out of the US after 9/11 among other various groups. You will plan, request permits for, and execute trips around the world. ETOPS flights are pretty much SOP. Flights from the mainland to HI are as run-of-the-mill as DAL-HOU. Very rarely will you ever have two consecutive days with the same flights. Variety-o-plenty.

 

[SKC]

Oh, and one of the more interesting charters we had was an Italian family from NYC chartered a 757 (at ~$7600/hr) to fly four family members and a deceased family member (in a casket, of course) back to Italy for the funeral/burial. I'm thinking it was 10 hrs each way, plus they paid to have the crew/plane stay in Italy for 2 days until they were ready to return. Now THAT is some money.

 

[Squirrel29]

Like other said you will learn alot there. Applied there back last year and took a tour seemed like a good place. Pay could be more for the work you do but it is inline with other carriers of its type. Best thing about a job like this is everyday is something different.

That can also be the worst thing, for it can seem like you reinvent the wheel every GDMF day...

Having lived in that world for nearly 5 years now... I agree.

 

[Squirrel29]

Did it for 10 years and still love it. I get bored with the same flights everyday. Give me the South American, Russia and Africa flights. With a sprinkle of Europe please.

Don't forget some Japan....that makes for a glowing day! Been doing this for 26 years....beats TPS reports....and I wasn't able to land that interview for the Walmart greeter position....

It's great, especially with exceptional cell phone service...

If I offended anyone when I mentioned Japan and glowing, sorry. I'll probably be sending flights over to that part of the world and will be watching out for the crews.
That being said, I can understand Dispatchguy's comment about "reinventing the wheel". Every airline has processes (for that matter everything we do in life is a process). I have yet to see a process that is perfect. There are hiccups in every process, and sometimes when that happens someone decides to change the process without accepting that hiccups happen. Now if the process is having the reoccuring hiccup, yes, by all means change it. But if it's just one of those things that just happens once in a blue moon, sometimes it's best just to accept it and go on. I've had proceeses change where I'm at now because of a hiccup, and in my prior life I've had procees change because of the same reason. It's just part of life and you learn to roll with it...

All this talk about glowing over Japan and I just saw this come across the printer. This is something you dont see every day...

The "cloud" isn't moving. It is a 30 KM sigmet around the reactors. Every sigmet I have seen has been the same. Honestly, I don't even know why the Japanese are putting this thing out. There is a prohibited area around the place that ls also 30 km.

We have been operating in and out of Japan since the whole thing unfolded, with no problems.
