Challenger 300 pilots in Europe
Hi all
I am together with my co-pilot running a CL30 (N reg. private operations) in the Northwest UK for a private owner.
We don't fly so much, only about 130 hours/year.
I love my job, but get a little bored some times when not flying for long periods.
Would like to get in contact with other CL30 pilots/operators in Europe, so we could help each other out with freelance work, cover for sick leave/holidays etc...
Me and my co-pilot hold JAA and FAA licenses.
Merry xmas to you all.

You may want to rethink this idea. You are employed, but many are free-lancing to pay the bills. Just because "you are bored" do you really want to take work away from professional contract (free-lance) pilots? 
Something to consider.

do you job and I will do mine
You are employed full time, and I assume paid.
Bored...LUCKY YOU.
Many corporate pilots as HEMS said are freelancing or flipping burgers to stay current, and pay for food.
Please respect your profession, and if you have any need to use freelance crew, try to use those outside the fully employed box.
Happy Xmas to the Wild North West.

So if bla bla gets fired one day, cause his boss thinks freelancers are cheaper, will said freelancers then not take on the offered job? Just asking...

Ok maybe HEMS driver and Gulfstreamaviator can help me to get in contact with the "real" free-lance pilots who do not have a full time job? So I can possibly help them with some work (that is the whole idea?).
Just because I have a great job, does not mean I can't work extra if and when I have the time.
I have with short notice helped people I have worked for in the past on the CL30 and G550 and they have helped me when stuck.
Sorry if you 2 don't agree to it.
