I would love to work for the Southern Co when they have an opening at PDK. I have heard its a pretty tough job to get.

I can't speak for the organization now, but a few years ago I had an interesting experience with them. G-IV serial number 1229 had been built for Entergy Co. When they shed their CEO and underwent a reorganization the aircraft was sold to Southern Company. Southern Co. then experienced a downturn and had to sell it. TransExec was to purchase the G-IV, but it had to go through a Pre-buy inspection performed by Gulfstream before this could happen.

Another test pilot and I flew out from Savannah to perform the Technical Evaluation on the jet. The Southern Co. chief pilot, who by that time had about 300 hours total in Gulfstreams, questioned our qualifications to fly his aircraft. In that, between us, we had North of 12,000 hours in G-IVs and were both FAA certified Test Pilots qualified to issue Certificates of Airworthiness for the G-IV, we were somewhat surprised. We finally resolved the issue and performed the test flight, but the whole episode indicated a level of arrogance that we had not experienced in other flight departments.

On the other hand, David Bilson from TransExec was a real gentleman and a pleasure to work with.
