do you think the models would go for the forty-something with a bit of a belly?

Depends how bad they want to get to their destination...

I know Kevin Harvick has one Lear 31 so you can narrow your search a bit. I THINK Robert Yates is flying a couple of Saab 2000's.

That said, we (www.jetride.com) have FA's based in ILG, BED, and LCK for Falcon 50 and Gulfstream 3/4. All part 135 charter.

Hi Mac,

Thanks for steering everyone back!

I tried to send you a private message, but it would not allow me.

I have checked out the Jetride site before, so I rechecked. The available aircraft has not been updated to include GIII/IV or a FA 50.

Whom should I send my resume to?

OOPS, off the topic again!

Thanks!

Nascar pilots fly hard during the season. The flights begin on Friday and Saturday, then leave Sunday after the race. Some of the planes go back to base, and planes carrying smaller groups go on to another track to test for a future race until Tuesday. They have Wedensday off, then start getting ready to go again.

I had a Nascar pilot in a class with me a couple years ago. The schedule they have is brutal. He also said if your spouse works, you will not stay married long. It is very hard on the family life, and a couple years ago the pay was not that great for what they had to put up with. Definately a life style that you are signing onto.

I am in the business right now for the past ten years, but work for a team and not a driver. Last year 150 duty days/325 hrs 15-20 overnites. Most trips out and back, except west coast races, PHX, LAS, ONT, APC. NASCAR has cut back on the testing to 6-8 tracks during the year. If you fly for a driver, it can get brutal if you do not set limitations, unless a 3rd pilot is hired or contract pilots are used. Then you need to make sure you can trust the individuals you are using.

It all basically comes down to the organization as in other corporate flight departments. If they are family oriented with good management, etc. then most times it will be a good place to work (QOL). Salaries are more competitive now with nicer equipment.

Hey Dracula,

That is what I am looking for, or even the team owners.

Who should I contact? I have gotten in touch w/ pilots from 2 different teams? Are you one of the guys I have contacted? In the past week or so....

Come down to Daytona this week. I can guarantee you could get a job. They close down a 6,000 foot runway to park A/C ranging from Lears and Gulfstreams to Saab 2000s and 727s.

Go hang out at the Sheltair FBO and you could do some great networking.

Just curious, what is the average pay for flying for the teams and drivers. I know it depends on equipment flown. Thanks in advance.

By the way, you have to love Okies!!!
