Default California Pacific Air Hiring Check Airman

For those of you that are adventurous, Good Luck!





Airline Apps extends a big welcome to our newest participating airline, California Pacific Airlines (CP Air). Please take a moment to read the letter (included below) from their Senior Vice President of Operations, John Ross.

Welcome to California Pacific Airlines (CP Air), a new entrant Part 121 air carrier engaged in the FAA certification process, anticipating the beginning of revenue service in 2012. We are presently accepting applications for our Initial Cadre of Check Airmen who will be the leaders of our Flight Department in operations and training. We are looking for highly qualified, highly motivated, and highly experienced individuals who fit our culture and value system, and who are excited about the challenge of being on the ground floor of a new airline. Based in Carlsbad, California, we aim to create a culture that identifies us as a hometown airline, and offers our customers a “better way” of flying. Our plans are to begin service with E170’s with a rapid expansion into other aircraft in the E-JET family. Our Initial Cadre should have previous check airmen or instructor experience in Part 121 or Part 135 operations, and be willing to locate themselves in proximity to Carlsbad. They must go through an internal approval process at CP Air, and an external process and acceptance with our FAA Flight Standards District Office.
If you feel that you meet the requirements to be considered as a candidate, possess the values that are the foundation of the culture we are creating, and want to accept the challenge of a new entrant carrier, then please apply for these initial positions. Once our Initial Cadre has been selected, we will begin accepting and screening applications for future pilot positions.


John Ross
Senior Vice President of Operations
Director of Operations

Isn't Bud Sittig a former Delta guy? Director of Ops, besides being an Air Force general and graduate of Harvard or something, as well as the pilot of that B17 that caught fire at the airshow?

If anyone can pull this off it would be a guy like that..

California Pacific Airlines plans take wing by early 2012
California Pacific Airlines intends to start flights out of McClellan-Palomar Airport in the first half of 2012, assuming regulatory approval, said Bud Sittig, president of the Carlsbad-based startup.
Sittig, one of the founders of Skybus Airlines in Columbus, Ohio, joined California Pacific in July. The company has recently brought on two more executives with substantial experience: Diana Smith, one of the founders of JetBlue Airways Corp., and Mark Buntz, a media specialist who was on the startup team for the Internet television service Hulu.com.
California Pacific has added these executives as it raises money to begin operations. The company recently raised $1.2 million out of $12 million sought, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company intends to draw fliers from much of North County, who otherwise would have to travel to Lindbergh Field in San Diego.
Assuming approval, California Pacific will initially serve Sacramento, San Jose, Oakland, Las Vegas and Phoenix. Cabo San Lucas will be added shortly thereafter. The airline will use three Brazilian-built Embraer 170 jets. The Embraer is a 70-passenger, twin-engine aircraft.
California Pacific is the brainchild of entrepreneur Ted Vallas, 90. Vallas has invested $14 million in the nascent airline. Sittig said additional funding on the order of $100 million will be necessary to get the company in service.
"We have had a fair amount of interest from the local community here in the investment opportunity for California Pacific," Sittig said. "Yes, there's been some movement with local investors, and we certainly hope that will continue."
The company is hiring for key positions and building the infrastructure needed for an airline, Sittig said.
That includes building an information technology division, installing reservation systems, assembling support and maintenance crews, and hiring pilots and flight attendants.
"But because we're not in control of the strategic timeline, we have to be very careful that we don't get too far out in front, or hire people too soon," Sittig said. "It needs to be a just-in-time concept."
For more information on the company, go to California Pacific Airlines or call 760-707-1734.
