Default does Starbucks have a flight department?

And if so how much do they pay and how hard would it be to get a job there?

Recently they had a job advertisement for a First Officer in Seattle. I would imagine though as with most big company corporate pilot jobs, you have to be very well connected to have a chance.

If you have to ask if they have a department, chances are high you are not connected enough. G550 pay is probably around 110,00-120,000 after first year as F/O. Appropriate benefits, too.

Yes you have to be very well connected, lots of int'l experience and a G-V type wouldn't hurt

I've said it before, it is easier to get on with a major than to land one of these top jobs

People never seem to understand this concept though!
Hangar Lane at Boeing Field probably has the most big fishes in the business world within a 1/2 mile. Finding a legitimate address for any of those people remotely wanting your/my resume is near impossible.

All the more reason to put on the suit and tie and go walk the 1/2 mile

They are well stocked with G 5xxs and a G650 is enroute.

Know a guy there. Hired on with no Gulfstream experience. Connections are the key with these departments.

I was looking at Starbucks flight department and found this older thread. I’m wondering if this is still the case? I had an opportunity at one of these and passed it up.

Certainly, a lot of money in corporate flying at KBFI.
