up again
I drug this thread up after all this time, because the pilot job listed below keeps coming up in Wichita over and again. Third or fourth time this year. Anyone know the inside scoop on this job? Adding a Challenger soon, is one rumor I have heard. Koch is a huge company with global flight ops.

Wow. Koch Industries has a patriarchal style, and they are famous for right-end political activity as well. Maybe he doesn't meet their comfort level since pilots are close to the brass. That would explain their having to heavily advertise a job that normally you would not have to advertise for at all.

Lots of news about these guys in the past days. Seem really happy to want to over throw the government and stay as rich as possible.
Sounds like a job with them would always involve walking on eggshells.

My guess is they are hiring and firing pilots as an almost weekly affair. Most corporations with 6-8 jets can staff the flight department without having to advertise externally at all. Corporate flight departments tend to be known in the pilot community, and a name itself is usually more than enough to draw resumes. The only time you see an ad is when they are trying to comply with unfair hiring practices and an ad will pop up and disappear in the internal job board. Going public and staying there like this is pretty unusual.
