You may also be able to get info by calling 501-273-4596, and there is a recorded message there.

SOP minimums are 1000 TT 100ME, but I have been told they have been uped to 2000TT 500ME to be competitive.

Hope this helps, it's a great place to work!!

Hi there,

Anybody know of Wal-Mart Aviation web. site address???
If so, would you please post it.

Best regards.

I far as I know there is no public Wal-Mart Aviation web site....We do have a private one that is accessed only by crew members!! Occasionally the Walmart.com website under "company info" will have job postings for the aviation department!

I'm glad to hear that Walmart's flight department improved from years past. I hope you didn't consider my comments an attack on your company, I was just trying to show all sides , and I did say it was dated info. Happy Flying to all those out of Rogers.

Let us see if I can answer any of your questions.

- We haven't heard if we will be doing any hiring in the near future but my guess is we will.

- The starting pay for FO is 40,000 per year.

- The starting pay for CPT is 65,000 per year.

- The upgrade time is unknown. Anywhere from 18 mo to 4 years.
Most likely somewhere in the middle

- The entire fleet consists of Learjet 35, 31 and 31A's.

- All pilots live and fly out of Rogers, AR. (ROG)

- The schedule is the best part. Most fly 4 to 5 days a week with 4 RON's average per month. We are home for a majority of the nights.


Hope this helps.

passion4flying,

Thanx very much for the answers.

I have few more questions for you (sorry!).

- What are the flight time minimums for FO position (TT/Multi) ?
- It is possible to commute to work ( I live in NYC) ?
- How is the interview process / training?
- What destinations you guys fly to? (domestic & international).

I guess that's it for now...

Best regards.

CFINY.

I interviewed with WalMart back in Feb and was offered the job. I was not able to accept the job offer due to some family things that where more important than any job can offer. However I was very impressed with the whole WalMart staff and department. I spoke with several WalMart pilots during the interview and they all loved their jobs and the work rules where very good. It seemed that the management was making every effort to make it a good place to work and keep everyone happy. I really wish that I good had taken the offer. Read the ProPilot article, it decribes things there very well.

I think that I would have made it a last stop in my aviation career. If you have the opportunity to interview or are offered the job I would take it in a heart beat.
