CapnV - thanks for posting the opportunity In Coke's defense, this seems to be a bit different. This time it appears CC is actually seeking a Chief Pilot versus a line pilot.

I guess Cochran finally found another job. He has been actively hunting since he hard landed that Gulfstream some time ago.

Wow, he did not last very long. I didn't hear about the carrier landing in the G-IV. Let's hear some details.

Man, 'FNG', you're brutal. How do you really feel? And do you really know what happened or are just spreading rumors?

 

[FNG24]

It's all fact, ask ANY Navy Tomcat guy or dude that was around with him in late 90s....

If they are just rumors, he must have a lot of folks that do not like him to tell the large amount of bad poop flying around the industry on the guy. One I know for a fact is that when he has met a pilot from another flight dept. on the road or at an NBAA function in the last 6 months, he has asked about their hiring status and how to contact hiring decision makers, right in front of his subordinates. The taxiing the Blue Angels onto the wrong runway is a well witnessed fact, as is his resignation from the team.

I hear that he has a way of getting people not to like him. I have met him, but have not had the great honor of getting to know him well, as I do not work at a Fortune 50 flight dept. and so he excused himself when he saw I offered no prospect of advancement of his career.

I have a friend flying for the Coke flight dept. I'll call him and ask what happened. If he tells me, I'll let ya know.
