It'd be in the top 5% of corporate jobs by any criteria you asked about. Obviously large cabin gstreams that go all over. Benefits by a huge corporation. Well respected industry reputation. I don't think you'll ever hear much bad about 3m.

Agreed. These guys are the Mecca of corporate 91 operations. It states right in their hiring criteria that they want a formal military flight school (read between the lines = former military test pilots) based on the hiring history there.

I don't think it means TPS, maybe just UPT, formal conversion, operational experience and, probably, IP or EP status. Only about 20 or so go to each TPS course yearly.

I know, at least, one hired there. T-38 plus C-5s

If anyone knows of the pilots there - let me know if there is a former pilot there named Swedenberg (sp?). He was a squadronmate of mine between 98-01. At the time I heard his dad was the CP at 3M. Figured that he would always get out of the Navy and go to work at 3M. Do those names ring any bells?

wow that’s too bad, I seem to recall 3m having a bunch of gulfstreams. I loved corporate flying but don’t miss the random volatility of it.
