greetings all,

I am trying to get involved in ferry flying aircraft such as Boeing and Airbus.

Does anybody know who ferries aircraft for the big leasing companies such as AWAS/GECAS/ILFC etc.

do they employ crew or do they use a crewing company. If so, which one?

Any info would be awesome

thanks

Well, whomever they employ, they would be type-rated.

You seem to want to fly different types- what are you rated on?

I have ferried aircraft for gecas numerous times... You usually need a pretty strong recommendation... Good luck!

I'd also love to know more about how these guys organise ferry crews? Do they have a pool of airline guys they call upon or have their own people full time? Probably not an issue for me as relatively low experience on the 737 EFIS. Would be a nice challenge and learning experience.

Do they operate all captain crews of do they have Fo's and Captains, I am working for a pacific airline on the NG at the moment and would love to ferry aircraft on my days off , would be a great experience.

There a company in California called Southern Cross, they ferry all types of planes. Try getting in touch with them you never know.
