Default Disney Aviation

Does anyone have any information on what kind of airplanes the Walt Disney Company have? If they do, where can I find information and pictures? What about pilot employment opportunities.

Global Express, for one.

Opportunities are posted on the disney corporate website.

Aircraft are based in SoCal, maybe elsewhere too.

That's funny. On a serious note it is a great work environment to be in. Studio jobs are some of the best corporate pilot jobs out there IMHO.

I agree with you. Earthstar is hard to get in but it's a career job. I have a couple of friends over there and they rave about how great it is. Studio jobs can be great. One thing about all studio jobs is that the flight departments like their privacy, so information can be scarce outside of their pilot group.
