Anyone have info on CVS?
 

Just looking for any information about CVS's corporate aviation department. Thanks
Mike

Here is their contact info:

560 Airport Rd
Warwick, RI 02886-2422
Tel: (401)765-1500
Fax: (401) 770-8510
Web: www.cvs.com

They have four Citation X's and one VII. One X is based in BNA (Caremark).

geosynchronous,
Do you fly for CVS? If so, could you give me more information (Days on, days off, pay, benifits...), it would be very helpful.
Thanks

No, I don't fly for them.

I would make a reasonable assumption that the pay, benefits, scheduling practice, relative job stability and security here would probably be pretty decent for a large retail pharmaceutical company's flight department.

Drop .41 and send them a resume', or better yet, put on a shirt and tie, go knock on their door, shake hands with the chief pilot and let them associate a face with the resume'! If you only meet an office person/scheduler, treat him/her as if they were the president of the company. These jobs are attainable through good networking and persistence.

I can tell you that the average Part 91 Citation X CA pay is $102,000, and the average F/O pay is $70.000; (June 2007 Pro Pilot, pp. 102) if this helps. No clue on what CVS actually pays.

Good luck!

I do know that CVS has never hired from a resume. Any pilot they have hired has been a friend on a current pilot.

Is CVS's corporate flight dept based out of Providence?

Yes it is.

Hi Geo...
Are you based in PVD? What other operators are there?

No, not based there, just seem to fly in to PVD a lot lately. Not too sure about other corporate operators there....Info is from NBAA directory.

Hi Geo
How did you know this..."They have four Citation X's and one VII. One X is based in BNA (Caremark)." That is not common knowledge.
