They seem to fly a lot of short-haul routes around Europe and back to EMA or Oxford or Luton several times a day.
There also seem to be the occasional Russian and Asian flights.

Aircraft based at East Midlands (along with their choppers) which is close to the JCB factory at Rochester
I believe Mr JCB lives down Oxford way hence the regular visits to Kidlington

"Mr JCB", namely Joseph Cyril Bamford, died over 5 years ago. His son is now Chairman and has been running the company for many years before that.

I was thinking of appying for this as I am not that far from EMA (45mins) and want to get out of taking the scum of society to the holiday hell holes of Europe and the Caribbean.
Do they want type rated people with current corporate VIP experience? or would they look at a high time Boeing Captain with VIP experience of many years ago.
I am well aware that the job is likely to produce an unstable life style and that a service orientated attitude is essential. However what sort of salary and conditions would a G550 driver expect to earn, and finally, why are they advertising for a new ops director and crew all at the same time. Have they had a mass walk out or something?
