WALMART

Post by ALT SEL »

Anyone have any info on their flight department? What is the sked like? Working conditions? Pay? I'm assuming its a Toronto Base but it doesn't say.

Thanks

Does the pilot uniform consist of a blue vest & a yellow smiley flare with wings on it?

Asking a pilot about what he thinks of Transport Canada, is like asking a fire hydrant what does he think about dogs.

If hired as a pilot there, just keep an eye out for falling prices.

funny part is they probably pay better than anyone out there and give you everything they say they will when you sign....

probably. I would imagine that why they treat their retail staff like crap, the corporate side of things would be pretty nice

Based on rumour, speculation, and 17th hand information:

-CYYZ based (north end)
-2 Lear 35's (maybe 45's someday?)
-around $85,000 per year plus the Walmart employee discount
-hired as a pilot; considered middle management so if you lose your licence/medical, you get an office job until retirement
-lots of flying across Canada and down to Arkansas

they have 45's on US side, so I would think eventually they'll make their way north.

Schedule looks like 2 weeks on, one week reserve and one week off. Generally no flying on weekends or Holidays.

When I was a new instructor a very shiny and very pink :shock: Lear 35 rolled up and parked on the ramp next to the flying club where I worked . Soon the two pilots appeared..dressed in grey sacks and pink shirts with silver bars. Yes it was the Mary Kay corporate airplane. Us young bucks were laughing up a storm, riffing bad jokes off of one another. The exasperated dispatcher (female) couldn't take it any longer and said, "Admit it guys, you would wear pink in a New York minute, if it meant you could be hired to fly that airplane". There was an uncomfortable silence and then we all left with our tails between our legs :wink:

Called them today, and was informed that they hired a pilot last Friday. Oh well, back to the drawing board, would have been a nice gig.
