Wachovia is looking for a "HAWKAIRE" Pilot...

G-force,
What kind of QOL do you think any flying job has that you would like. Airplanes fly every day and night, any good job I know of will at some time have you on some long trips.

Long haul airline for me was 18 days a month on both front and back side of the clock. I have done 21 day trips Part 91 around the world and I thought this was great QOL.

If you want to be home every night and each weekend fly something for a small Part 91 turbo prop that only fly short legs.

Long range flying also makes prep time for the trip so you do have some notice.

Say whatever you want.. I'm looking for a Gulfstream job that does local sightseeing flights in which you log no cross-country time whatsoever. Starting pay absolutely no lower than 6 figures.

Every time I turn around it's one of you ex-A330 drivers telling us how you used to have to walk from central NC down to Charlotte to make your Gatwick turn. Good grief man...

How about lunch tomorrow ???

Lunch sounds good, I will call you. Was it to cold to wash that new BMW today?

My Brother in-law is a yuppity yupp Corporate Executive with "Watchoverya"

He tried to get me to take a job with them last year. For some reason they keep having 'turnover' problems....

Wanted nothing to do with it.

That sounds about right. I'm in 135, looking for a job, and I don't want anything to do with that job just after reading the description. Work 22 days a month, gone most of them? 4 to 5 days a week with 1 to 2 weekends a month? No thank you, I have a life. Hell, you can find better QOL freight dogging for Polar. I definitely don't mind working, and I don't mind being gone some......that's part of the job. But if I want to never be home, I'll fly a 747 for Kalitta or something like that.

I was hoping the "kid" terminology would go away with my 30th birthday last summer along with my bald-headedness. A buddy of mine I flew with down at BAK called me the other day just to tell me how much weight I had gained and how much hair I'd lost... I asked him if he'd like to come over and kick my cat as well...

Well, don't keep us in suspense! Did he?!

 

[h25b]

Well, don't keep us in suspense! Did he?!

Not yet... I didn't really care, it's not like he was pointing out anything that my wife hadn't already.

I don't think I'll ever stop getting called "kid," I seem to get along better with people 15-30 years older... I guess if you read the regionals forum one could understand why.

Capt- V,

I would'nt form an opinion on the flight department just based on an employment ad.
I know a couple of the Wach pilots and they don't seem to fly as much as the ad states. I believe they fly alot of east coast out and back trips. They have a new director, a brand new G500 on their ramp and Challenger 300s will soon be replacing the Excels from what I've been told. Doesn't sound to shabby to me if your looking for a new job w/ a F500 company.

Good luck,
