Does anybody know anything about Dynamic Aviation out of Bridgewater, VA?? I always see adds on the pilot sites looking for people. Why do they seem to have such a high turn over rate on pilots?

 

Nice people but terrible hiring procedures.

I had a friend that interviewed with them several months ago. He was an Army retiree and had done everything Dynamic was hiring for. He was flying the 200 in the Army, been in the mideast, lived the life for over 20 years and is a great guy. They made him take a sim eval on a desk mounted 'toy simulator' (that is what he called it) they use and I guess it broke several times during the ride and other things didn't go well. Anyways, they called and said he did great at the interview but the sim ride was not good enough....lol.

This guy is an IP, IE, ME, MP, ATP, several jet types, helicopters, ect.. He can fly and has a proven record, he just couldn't fly a toy sim that day and they said no. So, be prepared.

The best prep would probably be to go to Walmart and buy a Tonka Toy sim and practice on it...lol. Good luck.

BTW, he is now in Afghanistan, flying for one of Dynamics competitors and making more money.

 

I said no and went to another company in Iraq.

 

What was the other company if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking at several.

 

I am working for i3 helping with the Iraqi AF Pilot Training. Aside from being away from family the job is great. I looked at Sierra Nevada, Avenge, AirScan, L3 and Dynamic as well.

To be perfectly honest, the only reason I said no to Dynamic was because I was hired by Citation Shares at the same time...Then all hell broke loose and I never made it to training at CS. I was recruited by i3 and hind sight being what it is and based on the word of friends who worked there at Dynamic, it was a blessing that things worked out the way it did.

 

Tweet,

What kind of equipment is in the Iraqi future? Is the US going to sell them a bunch of F-16s or is it a bunch of helicopter stuff?

Just curious..

 

Hey Pilot Golfer, PM sent

 

Anybody have a good contact for AirScan?

Thx

 

If you are interested in AirScan, you can send your resume and cover letter to [email protected]
I sent my resume in mid-Nov, got an email by the end of the week to fill out a full application (which they forwarded to me), got called the next day by a senior pilot, had a telephone interview with the pilot staff in December, and went for a formal interview in late December. I start training next week.
I know they are still looking for qualified pilots.
FYI: I'm 20 yrs USAF, flying F-16s and T-38s, 4,000 hrs with experience flying ISR, CAS, and all other F-16 missions (plus time flying over Iraq).
AirScan seems like an awesome company so far, and the folks I've talked to really like it.

Hope that helps -

 

Thanks. Best of luck.
