all Fractional pilots,
I am a flight school student currently going through an aviation science program at a community college. I am taking an aviation careers class this term that requires me to research three aviation companies of my choice: SkyWest, NetJets, and Southwest. A lot of the information I need to find can't really be found on the internet and so I need to talk to a fractional employee, preferably a pilot, to get this information. The reason I have chosen these companies is because from what I have heard and read, they are great companies to fly for and treat their employees well.
Here is a list of the information I need:
- History (when it was founded, by whom, any interesting facts or records)
- Mergers/takeovers/acquisitions (when, by whom, what happened as a result)
- Organization chart/Important people (including chief pilot “person with the power” to hire you and their contact info)
- Number of employees (by job type, i.e. mechanics, pilots, office personnel)
- Financial information (annual revenues, stock history, any bankruptcies)
- Fleet (types of aircraft, how many, bases, age, any new orders)
- Schedules (where they fly and how often)
- Any “hot issues” that have appeared in the news recently related to your company
Naturally I think pilots are some of the coolest people on the planet, so I would love to talk to any pilots from the above companies
Any help anyone can give me on this would be very greatly appreciated!
