Having just seen the website it says that things are a bit better. Is it better and what would the state of play be for applying. Is it worth still trying.

Cheers

Hope its a happy new year for all.

.....and he was interviewed the same day as four newly hired captains were kicked out on the street.... No need to hire people who's got a messy background (not saying that he has, I don't know anything about the guy) to get a messy flight ops dept. It already is.

Andy Z - sound like a non Austrian / German guy. Maybe he, then, can tell Hildegaard, Hulda or whatever her name is an HR - that German Long Range theory is not required anymore

@ Mustangbill,

you asked 3 questions, actually:

1. No, he is not
2. No, they don´t
3. Yes, there are (almost every month)

Surely you need 2 to satisfy 3?

Well, pilots have been hired in advance to complete training before flying (mustangbill asked about the current situation). Also think of a crew-factor.

Regards.

I looked at Vistajet's website and the fleet list looks like a mix of existing jets and future orders. As an example, it includes 13 Lear 85s on the list (clearly on future order). It also indicates 3-4 A319CJs.

Can anyone list the CURRENT fleet numbers? Specifically, how many Lear 60s, CL604/605s, CL850s, Globals and A319CJs? Do they currently operate any A319s? I realise that many ordered aircraft might be delayed due to the economy. Just want to understand how many aircraft and crews they have flying...

I assume type ratings would be helpful if you want to get hired. For example, CL850 pilots would likely have CRJ flying experience - right? And, I assume the A319CJs will go very senior.

Also, can anyone list the pilot domiciles?

Cheers

Shake up at Vista Jet?

From the Vista Jet website:

VistaJet, the world’s fastest growing private aviation company with the largest wholly-owned commercial fleet outside the Americas, announces a number of major appointments to its Board and senior executive management team.

Philippe Bruggisser has been appointed Chief Executive Officer with effect from 1 August 2009.

Did BC leave voluntarily or was he asked to leave? When business is doing so well, why does a company need a new CEO?

Oh ****! Poor VistaJet... if you are not familiar with Mr. B, search the internet for "bruggisser hunter strategy".

Thumbs up

"Bruggisser, his wife and son have moved to France, allegedly because of death threats.(2001)"

It's now known in the industry as the "Swissair Syndrome" -It implies a peculiar combination of splendid exterior and unhealthy interior (courtesy of Sevanco Business Solutions). It sounds like he is exactly the right guy to get Vista cleaned up. Nice work. Next year, maybe there will be the "Vista Jet Syndrome".
