Corporate aviation hiring practices -
1- The boss wants someone cheap, and if he has the kind of business where everyone he has in his company is cheap labor, I'll put money on it that he will be shopping price in his flight dept. The flight depts hire kids, make them pay for types, training contracts ect....
2- The boss hires people he likes. If he is the kind of guy that hires buddies and pals first over performance, then your likely to get the job offered is someone there knows you, likes you, can play golf, you have something in common with this guy, etc ect.. This the classic flight dept where everyone wonders how 'Joe' got this job flying a GIV with 1500 hours of flight time, oh yeah...he's a golf buddy....
3- The boss hires on performance - Very rare, but he actualy doesn't want to die in a plane crash...he probably won't pay for the best, but he will hire a guy to get the job done...most boss's have a number, so they will hire the right guy, but they will try to get him cheap, and someone that they like.. He get's a guy everyone universaly knows is decent...
4- The boss hires the best - Very rare...but when Donald Trump called Continental to get a guy to fly his 727, he hired away the most senior capt...if only most billionares were like him...
If your low time, an idiot, not very commited to your profession, you should go airline, or try to get a job where the hiring practice is more about who you know, go along, get along, team player kinda of social networking stuff..
If your a hotshot, you'll probably get a job, but depending on the type of boss you get, will depend on how you get paid...most of them want someone decent but don't want to pay for it....
