Heya everyone,
I didn't want to throw this to the fire in the general topics so I figured I'd post it here.
Today Western Michigan University is having a career fair. I had heard that ASA was up there doing interviews, so I figured I'd run up before work and ask them exactly what they're interviewing for and see what the outlook of the company is. Well I couldn't find ASA, but I did manage to find Gulfstream. So being the kind of dude that I am, I went up and started asking some questions. Questions that were, to put it lightly, asked in such a way as to provoke them. I well knew their position in the industry, but played dumb for a few minutes. I asked them if they were hiring Captains and they said they were hiring Captains with 3,000 hours of total time and 300 turbine off the street. No turbine PIC requirement.
As this conversation went on they got more and more pissed off at me. I finally asked them if they could confirm a rumor that I had heard, that their CEO scabbed at Eastern Airlines. First they dodged the question, but then I asked them again if they knew if their CEO scabbed. Their VP recruitment said "You're damn right he did, he was the first one to cross the picket line and that strike was bullsh*t." I said "Have a good day" and walked off.
I honestly couldn't ever find their CEO's name on a scab list, so I just asked them directly. Turns out that the rumot is correct and their CEO did scab.
Just another hit against Gulfstream in my opinion.
Also, I ran into a guy that I see come through that labs a decent amount who's also a pilot. I asked him if he was checking the career fair and he said he was going to go check out Gulfstream. I gave him a quick run down on Gulfstream before he went up, and hopefully he talks with them with a little bit more information then he would have previously had.
Gotta write some people letters here at Western for hosting SOB's like these guys.
