Curious, as to why you guys are not hiring some of those that were laid-off back? Will the Flight Departments be moving operations down to La. too?

Having just driven through Wichita, KS last week, it looks like an interesting town. If Cubdriver wouldn't object - maybe you could put my resume right on top of his???

Ah....nevermind. I'll concentrate on the King Air for now

Hey Cub. I looked for you while driving by. If I hadn't been in such a hurry through town I would have given you a shout.

You'll be line checking all the navaids right? You'll be back. I've been grounded a month and a half with a pretty serious injury (broke my collar bone in a bicycle crash) so I am not a lot of fun right now anyway. I will be finishing up my CFII & MEI certs as soon as the doctor approves and treating Wichita to a ton of Apache noise doing that.

Sorry to hear about the medical issues. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and getting back to the flight training.

dbtownly / bcaviator - I think this might have been asked, but what do you know of the qualifications of those 100 resumes? Is it a different group than you would normally see applying for such jobs, or are those jobs a special niche that suaully attracts the same quality of resume?
If you had to guess on the basic quals/times to actually be competitive - what would they be?

As for the test world, it is all over the place as for times/types. I do think we hire for the person and train for skill. I just got lucky with the right time and right place kind of thing. I was not a Test Pilot in the Navy, but I had a bunch of FCF experience. Let me know if you need any more info

That Ferry / Transportation / Demo Captain sounds really interesting; but I assume that they are looking for full time pilots and not contract. I've heard a couple of people around here talking about contracting work on the side but I'm not sure how they would find the time.
I don't have a test background either, but like you - a lot of FCF time / experience.
Who knows what may be in the future? Thanks for the input. If you hear of anyone actually picking up one of the jobs let us know.

Yes, I am looking forward to flying with Herb, the guy has a stellar reputation. His Apache also has a fully modernized panel, more buttons means more fun.

I have a buddy that will be demo'ing 900xp's and hawker 4000 out of Hong Kong. Appears that hawker beechcraft is using Execujet for it's international demonstration team management. Execujet also manages the demonstration teams European needs with a different group of pilots.
