CP - overpaid "Yes" man, once a company Capt. 'Begged' nemerous times to come back and be CP and refrained until the 'right' numbers were on the table. I've seen noodles more firm than this guy.
DO - Just drawing a check to offset the havoc with his UAL Pension, rarely around.
DM - Super guy with a great shop and staff, hates most jet pilots, However, he will put a bullet in the back of your head to save his own skin after telling you, "I've got your back."
The "Owner"....For the sake of professionalism and something my momma always said...
(THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK)
Overall, little professionalism abounds in this organization. Everyone is out to screw everyone else before they get screwed themselves. There is an "I" in T.E.A.M. and you will without a doubt find this in Kinston, NC.
You will interview there and get their best game face. However, pull the finely pained skin and new interior back and you will find a very different picture. Look around at the faces and listen to some of the phone conversations if you can. Ask to spend the afternoon (MORNING If possible) in the Charter Department and other Offices to see, "How things are run" their game face is only good for about 20 minutes to an hour depending on the fire of the moment or which schizophrenic emotion the owner is emitting. Go a day early and just sit in the lobby of the "FBO" as if waiting for an aircraft to arrive. See how many people there are smiling and enjoying their jobs. Other than a couple of nearby manufacturing plants, these are the best jobs within 100 miles and people take the crap and pay because they feel few options exist elsewhere.
INTERVIEW THEM!!!
They need you. Not the other way around.
Lastly, I was recently in an FBO with an aircraft from my new company. The owner/manager thought I was still with Segrave and had gotten a new airplane. He wasn't going to let me leave unless he got paid for the work on a Segrave plane from the Summer 2004. Poor sap had been sending past-due notices regularly and getting classic responses like, "the check is in the mail."
FWIW,
