No, just all the penance you have done. ;)

My CJ has black and white holstein painted engines and everyone thinks we are chic-fil-a....but we're not. So if you see a cowjet, it may be something completely different :)

I was able to get ahold of one of their pilots. I'm about 30 years too young and am 10k+ hours shy of what they are looking for. Thanks for the help folks.

I don't consider Chick-Fil-A your average, run-of-the-mill, fast food joint. I would love to have CFA catering on my flights!

MSG boys.... MSG....

I do like the food, but everytime I go in there I feel like I'm surrounded by zealots. Especially the cute high school girls behind the counter. "My pleasure"... Yeah... Wait til you're 18.......

At least as a FO you won't have to. fill the booze decanters before flight.

TMAAT you lead someone to Christ.

Nah, that can't be, they're run by former Delta pilots. :D

They were actually run for a short time by a local Operator and then went in house. I believe they were against corporate jets until they saw the benefit given the ability to access locations faster. Basically they have jets for the reasons the NBAA promotes business jets for.

I'm sure they draft pilots vs recruit them. There is no shortage of experience on the southwest side of Atlanta.

As someone said about Atlanta, it's a tough place to crack. after flying corporate there I came to the conclusion that all the pretty jets you see around only a minute fraction seemed to be based in Atlanta. It's tough and when I was on the other side of the fence I saw how hard it was for people after I'd get resume after resume but had zero opportunities available. Then when I needed to hire I couldn't find anyone because they needed to be typed and part 135 current. I sometimes wonder if contract flying is the best way to go.

you are spot on about ATL Corporate being a tough nut to crack. I work for one of the largest companies in Atlanta and pretty much zero turnover. If we need to hire we will post on the company website (cause HR requires it) but I promise you it will be filled by one of us pilots recommending someone. Contract flying is a great way to pick up some money but even that is a tough nut to crack

Sounds like a chicken sh-- operation, no pun intended, haha!!
