Just wondering if anyone has that pro pilot article. Maybe I could persuade you to scan it and email it to me? Reply via PM please. Thanks in advance.

With all the worldwide expansion WM is doing, I can't believe they get by with only one Global.TC

I have a friend who will be interviewing down there this week. Does anyone know how Wal-Mart compares to airline flying? i/e Type of schedule, hours flown per day/week/month? What is a typical day/week of flying like?

Any former airline-types there who could comment on life without an APU? Flight planning? Weight and balance? Ground air conditioning?

Thanks for entertaining my curiosity

I'll be up in KRPG tomorrow to start the interview process. I am very excited and feel very fortunate for the opportunity, to say the least. Can't wait to meet everyone! See y'all up there in AR.

How was the interview? Do you know if Walmart is currently hiring FO's?

Sorry to go off-topic a bit, but does anyone know of a cellphone company that provides RELIABLE coverage in the hills up around Bella Vista?

Thanks in advance.

Wal Mart Updates?

Passion4Flying,



A buddy of mine retires toward the end of the year (yes a real friend, I have 20 months left) and is interested in Wal Mart. How current is the info at the beginning of the thread? Any updates?



Thanks,
VVJM265

A little has changed over time. I do believe the interview process is a little different, but no major changes. I believe the starting salary has gone up a little and you type in the lear 30 series right away. Unfortunatly, I believe we have come to a lull in the hiring. For budget reasons, I think we are fully manned at this point. I have not heard any rumors of hiring. It does not hurt to send in your resume though. Things here change on a monthly basis. Next month we could be hiring 20 people. Who knows. All the other information is still pretty accurate.

Thank passion. I'll pass the info on. JM265

Retirement age and go to work for Wal-Mart? Not gonna happen! I have talked to guys on the interview committee and the resumes of older folks are usually the first thrown out of the pile. Age discrimination? Maybe, but you gotta prove it!

JJ,
Check my profile. Retirement age for military guys usually is early 40s. That equates to a solid 20 more years or so of flying we have left if we end up at a 91 or 135 operator.

At the interview, they throw you in a sim and just tell you to fly?? Just wondered how that went? What would be the best path to get to wal mart? Lets say I would either be flying 121 for a regional or pic king air 350 (the 350 would be for a 91 corp)? Would it help that I have lived in Arkansas my whole life? I'am in my mid 20's,and I would love stay here in AR and fly for the MART! I just need some advice that would be the best way to get there. Thanks for your help
