The Air Group

[cosmotheassman]

Anyone know if they are hiring in the Hawker or anything else?? They emailed me an application package back in October and I filled it out but haven't heard anything yet. Any info would be great!

I don't know what's going on with the Hawkers at the Air Group, but I want to pass along a little additional information. The Air Group is a solid organization and John Winthrop is an amazing guy who does magic things: gets to fly with the Blue Angels, gets his kid a ride up the coast on an aircraft carrier and heads an organization like the Air Group at his age. However, don't expect competitive pay. I interviewed for chief pilot a few years ago and backed away after finding out how little they wanted to pay. It would only be a move up if you were in a fractional.

I seem to remember the company was looking for a Chino-based Hawker pilot about a month or so back. It was the second time I saw the listing and I wonder if they were having a tough time filling the position or if was eventually filled. It's still listed as an opening on their website.

Ever lived in Chino? Maybe that's why they can't fill it...

What about Chino Hills,I heard that was okay.

 

[English]

Yeah if you don't mind the smell of cow manure, Chino is okay. But, when the fog rolls in, the moisture mixes with the cow manure and...it's just not a pretty smell.

Chino Hills is better because the smell doesn't rise up that high - seems to lay low in the valley.

Gotcha

It's a garden spot...here's a graphic showing the area's cottage industry.

That is another big draw. Plus, it's right off the departure end of CNO, so if you have an engine failure in a single, you'll have a bunch of new friends...

I also spoke with AirGroup about a GV job. Pay was kinda low, but everyone says they run a safe operation and everyone there seems pretty happy.

The $50k+ GV initial qualification training and subsequent experience might be worth the low pay for a while...

What is low pay for GV?

What?

I went through one of the first FSI GV courses, before they even had any manuals - I don't remember who was teaching whom. I'm not sure AirGroup is willing to hire people who don't have substantial GV time.

Buy American!

Sorry, I was going by your Profile, dated Sep 04, which says you are a GIV pilot and you did say you were interviewing for a GV position at the Air Group.

Ace, I think you're a poser, pal.

Ace, I think you're a poser, pal.

You're right. I'm actually 25 years old, tall, blonde and drive a Ferarri. If it wasn't for all the money, chicks and posting on this board (posing as a pilot) I'd be pretty bored.
