BBJ operators?
Does anyone know of an operation that operates BBJs and might be hiring?

If you're ex-UAL, DAL, or Continental the Beanie Baby guy, Ty Warner, looks for contract BBJ pilots all time, and gives prescience to military pilots, and previous heavily experienced 737 guys first... You won't find this on the web in too many places, but he flys out of KDPA, and tail number is N888TY.

There aren't many BBJ's in the US...
You'd probably have more luck looking abroad. |
Wayne Huizenga has a BBJ out of FLL. Goes nicely with his G-V and the Dolphins paint jobs match.
Not sure of hiring though. |

I think he got rid of at least the BBJ once he sold the dolphins. It was a nice paint job though.
What a cool airplane to get rid of. |
I talked to three of his pilots in Tampa 6 months ago and it was being sold to a British guy. They are down to two gulf streams and I think one pilot was getting ready to retire.

At KFLL, there is a whilte BBJ with a blue stripe across the side, and up the tail..... it's over near the GA ramp. Saw it a couple days ago taking the airport shuttle to the 'port... Better try and get on with something like Netjets, or ExecJet or whatever one of those charter companies have a BBJ laying around. I can't see you flying that much though... Not for an outrageous whateverthehell it costs to fly those things...

NetJets doesn't have BBJ's anymore. Some Vegas casinos still operate them... I think MGM and Venetian still have them.

The Limited stores has one in CMH and SAS Software in RDU, don't know if any are hiring. They quite like them and, while they have a barge image, are quite practical. Not that much more than a Global or Gulfstream to operate, higher fuel burns offset by far cheaper maintenance and parts reserves. The room is a great attraction, actual beds, crew rest facility, a shower and privacy. Put 6 in a Global or Gulfstream for 20 hours and it gets a bit cramped. Depreciation for a new one can be depressing, demand for used ones is thin.

Most BBJs are in captivity in the M/E. On occasion, a job listing will appear with contracting agencies, such as PARC, Direct Personnel, Sigmar, to name a few.
VOR Holdings has been advertising for BBJ pilots for China operations, on their website. Give them a call. |
