Air Associates of Kansas
 

Anyone out there with information on the hiring of AAK? I believe you need 500TT but just curious as to if they are still hiring.

Any information on any other picto vendors would be great as well. I know NSA is taking in a few more but turned down an interview a few days ago in hopes of finding something else other than a 172..

would be great

Check out landvue.com. Landcare usually has everyone by now but they sometimes need a replacement. They have 172s, 182s and Aztecs.

We've had a thread or two at APC about them- use the search window at the upper right to find them. I am also told that JetCareers has an active AAK thread, you can go there only for that but you have to come back here. :)

I interviewed with them a couple years ago. The use a Red Bird set up as a 206 for sim. Panel of 3 interviewing you with basic questions. Give them a call at KJOC

Its at KOJC.....

Good guys working down there. Prices are high, so I think business has slowed slightly. Good chance to advance up into the charter department as they have a few jets they use for that. Nice, new fleet. G1000s and some high performance stuff (C206, C182, Corvalis).

Not sure where you're getting your information from. As I am currently employed at AAK, and have been for almost two years, I can tell you first hand that advancement from the mapping side to the charter side is HIGHLY unlikely.

Business has not slowed as we are still working 365 days a year. We have a fleet of 12 C206; 2 with G600 and 10 with G1000.

PM me for more details.

That's disappointing to read.

I've heard this from several people, too.

Enjoy that training contract as well

I never worked for Air Associates but I have a lot of friends that have and still do and they speak nothing but praise for the company. Honestly it's not the place you're probably going to retire at but you're going to make decent money, travel the continent anywhere north of Mexico, and you'll build the time without having to hold an English to whatever language dictionary in order to talk to the person next to you. Also if you like hotel and airline reward points.... Heyo.

KCAviator ... I sent you a pm.

Also not sure where you're getting your information from.

The only "training contract," if you even want to call it that, that we have regards the 6 month bonus. If you take the $3,000 bonus and then leave before you have been with the company for 1 year (so in the 6 month period after taking the bonus), you must repay the bonus. If you don't want to worry about this awful "training contract," you can wait to take the bonus on your 1 year anniversary and then nothing would be repayable if you were to leave. :rolleyes:

Might be my favorite part about this job! :)

What's the latest at AAK ?
