It seems like this started from the beginning. I'm sure he didn't mean to make it sound this way but when somebody says "they are considering on trying to get on with them" it rubs some people the wrong way. Most guys on here have put in there dues at crappy operations, finally making contacts to have the oppurtunity to meet the director or chief pilot of a large corporation, which may lead to a potential interview. It's rare that people have numerous "once in a lifetime" jobs that they can "consider."
Anyway, I know a couple of people at Comcast and they have nothing but good things to say about the department. They have a couple falcon 2000's, and the pilots have a good QOL. I'm not sure about pay, trip types or any other details.
I have to disagree with some of the other guys though. Just because you are low time, that doesn't rule you out whatsoever it just makes it a little harder. I was 23 with 1100 hours when I got my first job with a fortune 300 company flying a Hawker and a year and a half later they sent me to school on the G5 so it can be done. Some departments like having a mixture of younger (less experience) guys so they can mold them to what they want, and don't have to break old, bad habits.
Do your homework on the company before hand, talk to as many people as possible that are familiar with the operation. Persistence pays off eventually. Good luck!
