Norfolk Southern
 

Hello,

Friend of mine who is leaving the military and moving to Virginia is looking to talk to someone at Norfolk Southern in their flight department. Any help or pointing in the right direction would be helpful.


Thank you,

Your friend won't have much luck. He will have to go through a massive human resource process and they aren't hiring. It isn't who you know until you get past that. good luck to your friend though.

tell him to give us a call @ VR-56 (C-9's Oceana) if he wants to keep flying -- assuming he wants to stay current...great gig.

Thanks guys. Tom is a forced retirement Double FOSd O-5. Thanks VR-56.

I live in Virginia Beach and know a bunch of people at Norfolk Southern. I couldn't even get an interview the last time they were hiring. They are very competitive. Right now the company is in a hiring freeze, so doesn't look like anything will be available over there for quite some time.

Thanks I will pass the word.

Old thread here, but would anyone like to pass some info forward on this one? NS is advertising for pilots again. The ads don't specify what airframe but I assume they mean Challenger 601 positions. Is there any good, bad, or in-between we should know.

They operate 2 Hawkers and a Challenger 605. All company operations are moving to Atlanta. That will include the flight department, but I am out of the loop there and am not sure the time frame. Railroad retirement is probably the biggest perk to the company, but you'd have to work for them long enough to earn it.
