at least 2 PPruners are in G5 Exec

They are a great company, and they had the leading houred G5 at one time, it never spent any time on the ground.

Crews just followed it round the world.

I would work for them at a moments notice, just great guys.

OK.????

Thanks for the info, any details on T&Cs? The rosters? I knew they had a leading houred Gulfstream, but it was before the crisis, how are they doing now? The Legacy is the one of interest for me...

Cheers

I do not work for them, or know them well enough to answer your question, sorry.

happy hunting.

Thumbs up

Good Thread @Aussie - would have opened a similar one, but questioning the G550, not the Legacy colleagues there. Thanks

G5 Executive

Hi Aussie

There is definitely not much sitting around at G5 Executive. Not just on the Gulfstreams, also on the Legacy! I usually log around 400 - 500 hours/year (record was 800 hrs/year!).

Lot's of flying, good team and interesting destinations.

- Forget about it! Often it's minimum rest!

Any update?

They have been looking for G450/550 and Legacy pilots,the last two weeks.

Anybody know if they are just testing the market or are they really recruiting. Doesn't say anything on there website.

Info about T&C would be great and are they offering rotations, ie 15-15, or month on month off..?
Would be great to get some info
Thanks

ps:found it on latestpilotjobs.com

They are a reference company. High standards, quality management and great people. It is all down to attitude.....they have the right attitude.

I do not work for them, have never worked for them, but know the team reasonably well over the years...and the owner.

Highest respect.
