EG&G aka "Janet"

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone here knows anything about flying for EG&G. Maybe better know as the "Area 51 Shuttles". How do you go about getting hired at a place like that? Just curious.
 
The post ads, there were 2 on JC within the past year.

Boring work from what I read online.
 
Because of the secretive nature of the work, I can only post what I know in invisable ink below:













That should about cover it! Good luck getting on!
 
Boring work eh? I thought it seems pretty exciting flying places that most people can never go.

Part of the reason I left my old job. Sure not too many people got to go to the place I was going, but do it 4 to 9 times per day, and it loses some of its coolness, especially when the leg is only about .4. Now don't get me wrong, I love short legs, but variety is the spice of life.
 
According to Wikipedia they have listed 5 airports as "usual" Janet destinations. I'm sure theres probably more than that. Even if there isn't I guess 5 isn't much, but others like Hawaiian come to mind. Tho the Hawaiian Islands and the CA/NV desert are a bit different.
 
Ok, ok, I'll spill the beans.

They pretty much fly aliens into and out of Area 51. People will capture aliens at various places and Janet will pick them up. Also, the aliens are given R&R every year and Janet will fly them to the destination of their choice. Usually it is Vegas but this time of year they also run charters to Lincoln, NE and Norman, OK. If you watch closely during OU and NU football games you will see many of these creatures in the stands. I am not sure about how to get on as cockpit crew, but I am actively trying to get Qgar a job as an FA with Janet. She said dealing with a plane full of illiterate aliens would be preferable to her last FA job flying east-coast people out of Newark - both from an attractiveness standpoint as well as a hunch she has that the aliens would be more civil.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this thread, Jim. I love you as you never fail to make me laugh out loud. I could use that as much as I can get.

You are slightly incorrect though, dear. I don't like "boring" pax. It's much more of a challenge to have those "special people" to entertain me. :p

LOL!!

I agree, though...when the destinations are the same all the time, it does get boring.
 
To fly for 'Janet' you have to apply to EG&G Corporation at

http://www.urscorp.com/

Requisition Number : EGG20110
Company : EG&G/LSI
Interest Category : Flight Operations
External Job Title : FIRST OFFICER (PILOT)
Position Type : Full-time
Country : U.S.
State : Nevada
City : Las Vegas
Minimum Requirements : Must possess background and experience sufficient to pilot a Boeing 737 aircraft. Must hold an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate issued by the Federal Aviation Administration. Must hold a First Class Medical Certificate issued by the FAA. Work is primarily sedentary, with some walking, bending, stretching and climbing. Lifting up to 40 pounds may be required. Must be able to qualify for a TS/SSBI security clearance.

DESIRED QUALIFICATION:
4000 hrs. of flying time, a B-737 Type Rating, and an active TS/SSBI security clearance

To become a pilot for them, you have to pass an utmost strict background check where not only will YOU be checked, but so shall anyone that knows you. They send the FBI to do your background checks as far back as interviewing your elementary school teachers (if they are still alive), parish pastors/priests, teachers from your schools, former bosses, neighbors, basically everyone including the kitchen sink....all at the expense of the tax payer of course. You're looking at a timeline of approximately 10-12 months just for this alone. The whole process from start to hire is around 18 months minimum.

Should you be offered the job, you are sworn to secrecy regarding where you fly to when it comes to do with The Defense Dept. You are not allowed to take any photos, and you cannot discuss what you see / have seen with anyone. If you are caught, you are liable up to a lifetime jail sentence and fines under treason (of course this is the extreme case)

....and further info is subject to "I can tell you but I'll have to...." well you know
 
Does Janet have their own TSA agents, or are they just randomly assigned on a given day?

I can imagine a host of security problems the aliens would present. Are the reinforced cockpit doors adequate against the melting power of the laser-vision of the aliens? Do the aliens have to take off their shoes (because it is common knowledge that aliens hate to take their shoes off)? Are there sky-marshalls on these flights and if so, do they have alien-wear so they can blend? Can aliens jump-seat? If they can jumpseat, and a non-union alien gets denied by someone like Velo or ATN, does the alien usually kill and eat them or do they simply try their luck on the next flight?

Where would you jumpseat to? From LAS, to LAS? :D

Btw, here's an airline guy who's pic I snapped as he was waiting to jumpseat at the terminal:
