Does anybody know if Nuskins flight department is out of Provo where its registered?

Check out the Millionair SLC web site. I believe they crew the Nuskin plane as well as several others based in or near SLC.

You are correct. Does Nuskin hire the pilots or is everything done by millionair? Isn't Huntsmans plane hangered there also?

For what it's worth, we had two G-III's there, and nobody that flew on them was LDS.

I flew everything from gliders (just remembered...one other employe who was also LDS...but most of his employees weren't) to large aircraft out of there, freight to skydivers to tankers and air attack...and few were LDS...but nobody cared, and nobody asked.

The idea that being a member of the LDS faith in Utah will influence your ability to get hired in that area is an absolute fallacy. I don't care weather it's corporate, freight, airline, military...that locals may be church members is entirely irrelevant to the question of being hired.

To tell the truth, I don't notice any difference in hiring practice in SLC vs. Phoenix, Billings, Reno, Las Vegas, Denver, or other places in the area I've worked. Employers did care how I got on with other employees, how the customers were handled, how the aircraft was handled, and about reliability. I think my own beliefs were far enough from most's minds that they never asked, and didn't care.

As far as the 151st ARG, I believe we have a board member who's in UPT right now on their nickle, do we not? If I'm correct, I don't believe he's LDS either. Perhaps he might provide some better insight into that matter. I've known some of the folks from there...and haven't known any bad ones. I don't believe I ever asked one his religion. I've never heard that they have a bad reputation...that's news to me. I don't know anybody I've ever met who knows the unit or people from the unit who would agree with the comments about a bad reputation. Perhaps you've met one of the few folks out there that don't like the work they do...but if so, it's got to be a minority.

Did you ever work with a fellow who was the CP for Skaggs/Alpha Beta? As I recall he a several DC4's and maybe a DC6, both of which where doing fire fighting work in the west. He is long since gone from Skaggs.

The one and only guy I know that flys for Huntsman, is a former 89th driver who just happens to be LDS.

I am not going to beat this to death with you so lets just agree that the LDS faith extends beyond the traditional bounds of religon and on into many facets of daily living, both professional and private.

You must be talking about Dewey G. He is one of the finest people I have ever met. He and I have been partners in a couple of gliders.

'Sled

Your dead right about Dewy. A great man.

 

[avbug]

I never flew for Huntsman, but saw them come and go all the time. I didn't work with the individual to whom you refer.

The DC-4's are gone now (generally), and the 6's are strictly on state contract, where available.

Well I sure hope that none of my previous posts would have implied anything different. If so, I'm truly sorry. My comments were directed at what my perception of the corporate heavy iron pilot employment situtation was here in SLC, nothing more.

psysicx,

Spooky1,

Many of those flying the heavy stuff in SLC have been on that field for many years, mainly at other flight departments at the same airport. I can think of only a few who came there from flying the heavy stuff somewhere else. Some folks are LDS and some are not, but in my opinion that really does not matter. What matters is that those who are here make a good reputation for themselves and have networked and positioned to be in these departments.

I am not LDS.

Thanks..........I appreciate your comments as well as those of Avbug.

Does anybody know whats going to happen to Huntmans flight department? He said that he is selling the company.

Huntsman

I see their aircraft on their ramp and out on the road regularly. Not sure if the department is at risk.
