Does anyone know of any 737 departments? How are the pay rates? I am trying to figure out all options - currently flying the 737 with plenty of experience in it.

Thanks!
Randy

 

Randy There is a company name Crescent Heights in OPF they have a BBJ they require for applicant to have NG exp, the pay is good, but no time off, always on standby, lots of AC cleaning involve. The tail number is N720CH.

This would be Janet. They lost a Capt a few weeks ago to a motorcycle accident; great guy, sad story. Anyway, don't even bother applying without the clearance. FO pay starts around 60, works up to mid 80s in a few years, Capt pay is just over 100. Home every night, weekends and holidays. Pay is based on a 40 hour work week (not 40 hours a week of flying time), They've been putting in more time lately for several reasons but they are salaried and don't get overtime. NGs are on the way, differences training for current pilot group starts soon. Mostly a good group of guys, but like any other job, it has it's ups and downs.

 

I sent them my resume just to see if it would be an option. I do have a current TS/SCI

Have you ever been to Van Nuys airport??? 2 days ago I noticed about 7 or 8 BBJs peppered around the airport. Van Nuys definetly has the most operators.

 

Thanks. I don't have any clearances.

I also fly the 737-300/500, not the NG. I have a type, and it says B737, so what's the deal with the NG? Is it a different type or not? Also, I only have the SIC type. I have over 2500 ours in the plane though.

Thanks again for the help.

It's the same type...

 

Same type...BUT...Go to opspecs.com, read the 737 FSB (Flight Standardization Report) and see what the differences training requirements are from classics to NG's...that's "what's the deal with the NG" from our "friendly airman's association".

 

The 300/500 is a "Classic" 737. The NG is essentially a 700/800/900 Plus. Plus being different fuel system and slight handling differences. I've flown all the 737 variants, the NG/BBJ is quite a bit different from the classics in terms of avionics, etc, not to mention completely different wings and engines. So much so that the Feds require time, landings, etc. in type to stay current on the NG if you also fly the classics, let alone the BBJ.

If you've ridden in the front of an Alaska Airlines NG and then a Southwest NG you'll see that the avionics can be configured with quite a bit of difference. The BBJ/NG's can really be outfitted into a 777 type cockpit when set up to do so, rather than be a LCD representation of a -300 as some NG's are. Is that a big deal? I suppose the only one to make it so is the guy looking to hire you or not.

The biggest hurdle to getting a BBJ job will be time spent as a corporate pilot and who is walking in your resume, not so much the airframe I would think.

But certainly any attempt at it is better than no attempt and it's a move in the right direction to get to know the operation and the people. Good luck, hopefully you will get to where you want to be asap.
