Corporate Flight Departments DEN area
Does anyone know of any decent corporate flight departments in the Denver area? I've been able to find plenty of Part 135 charters, but not much about corporate flight departments.

Yes, I work for one. You probably won't find any information without networking locally. Go to FBO's at APA and BJC and befriend the CSAs there. Some will be quiet but others will share the corporate flight departments names. Most companies don't want to publicly announce they have flight departments.
Just FYI the good ones are hard to get on with being as turnover is usually very low. I personally will only hire FT pilots I have used as contract pilots. Lots of people interview great, but are a PIA in the plane or on the road. Not trying to deflate you, just giving you a heads up that it takes some persistence.

Just out of curiosity what is an FT pilot?
Mila, I know that I heard OtterBox is hiring pilots, I believe they are up in Fort Collins, I ran into the crew on a Lear 60 out in Bogota and they said that they were getting a Global Express.
