Services

Captain __________, and his team of associates and colleagues, are positioned to assist you to put your TEAM together and get things done right.  When you need the utmost in EXPERIENCE, then you have come to the right place and the right group of professionals.

The rapidly expanding scope of aviation today, as well as the arrival of sophisticated aircraft into the business aircraft fleet, has precipitated unprecedented growth for professional aircrews.  Aircraft sales and job growth in all facets of aviation is growing almost beyond the supply of aircraft and pilots.  Aircraft owners and their chief pilots are finding it increasingly difficult to staff their flight departments.  Pilot shortage, increasing wages and taxes, demand for longer range operations, increased flight hours and daily utilization, all combine to stress the available resources.

With the use of Professional Contract Pilots with the experience and dedication to assist you in your flight operations, you have taken the first step make your life easier and less complicated.

Benefits for the Operator

By augmenting or even replacing many of a flight department’s personnel requirements, an operator can benefit from the following:

1.      Operators have the opportunity to SAVE money by cutting their flight department payroll.

2.      Operators can reduce their exposure to costly training, eliminating the occasions when one of the Operator's pilots up and leave for the airlines or a better job.  Less roll over in personnel can be directly attributed to utilizing Contract Flight Crew.

3.      Operators have the flexibility to use crewmembers when flying needs to be done, and not have the responsibility when the aircraft is not flying (slow business, down for maintenance, etc.)

4.       Operators can have the Professional Contract Pilot train and ensure your crew are completely familiar and comfortable with the Gulfstream aircraft during all flight operations realms.

Transition Assistance

Transition assistance is the use of a pilot experienced in your type of aircraft and / or in international operations.  This allows your crewmembers to acquire a level of comfort and safety when moving into highly automated and sophisticated cockpit environments or flying within new or foreign regions.  Focus is upon safety of flight and competency in ICAO flight environments  Perhaps here we can place shorter term contracts (less than a year) for these situations.

Contracting Your Flight Crew

If you are an operator faced with adding another aircraft, Worldwide Aviation Logistics lead by Captain __________ can tailor the buildup to suit your needs.  Compensation of contract personnel can mirror your own organization's package but remain "off your books."  This may be particularly important if the build is of unknown duration or located "off shore."  Should you ultimately desire to incorporate the contract crew formally, the transition is painless.  I believe it is conceivable that, as fractional aircraft have caught on, that fractional flight departments can catch on.  It’s kind of a divide between full time employees or a full time management company.

Whatever your staff requirements are, Worldwide Aviation Logistics lead by Captain ___________ can help you find solutions.  From augmenting a single flight to helping you staff your operation, call me for ideas in action.

Notes for consulting with your flight operations manager:

Where does the customer want to go with aviation?

How can he best get there?

Where does the customer expect to be in the future?

With knowledge of these elements we can:

Determine what and how much work is involved.

Determine the depth of involvement we can are are requested to do.

Determine what we need from them as pertains to compensation.

Bottom line is that the customer tells us what they want (their framework) and we tell them what is takes to accomplish their goals (this normally is a free consultation at the beginning).  Thereafter, the customer and __________________ agree upon work to be accomplished and resultant fees to be expected.
