any of you furloughed guys ever think about becoming an airplane broker?

What is an airplane broker?

Hired by SWA and UPS man I'm lucky!!!!

Yes, you are. You are most likely in a very small minority of people who have been hired by a major and not by one but by two! But.....don't forget the tens of thousands still pounding the street either furloughed, laid off or outsourced to FOREIGN airlines. Yeah, living the dream, baby!!!!
Good luck, mate.

an airplane broker goes around and sells planes to clients. Its like a real estate agent for planes. For example if you sold a Gulfstream and get a 3% commission rate, it can turn out to be a pretty penny for one sale.

 

[ultrarunner]

Hired by a local corporation ( Part 91) as soon as I got the 30 day notice that I was furloughed. And CP at that.

Bypassing until I need to quit, at which point I'll do that.

Life is good.

How does one get into that.I know that the big manufactures has sales people.

New Job

Just got picked up by Kalitta. The way it looks now, it doesn't make sense to go back to Northwest, financially ($ or retirement), airplane (DC-9 vs. 747) or lifestyle (days off). And Kalitta seems to be a growing operation.
