"Janet" hiring again...

gna_in_lgb · January 22nd, 2009, 14:31

They're looking for FA's as well:
https://www.urs.apply2jobs.com/index...&CurrentPage=1

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. Minimum 2500 hours of flying time. 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:
3000 hrs. of flying time, a B-737 Type Rating, and an active TS/SSBI security clearance

Wonder what special skills an FA for Janet needs to have? Tentacle removal techniques? Speak Alien fluently?

Transporting ET's would probably be better and more civilized than your average commercial flight though - probably a higher class of passenger.

In CASS? Now wouldn't that be nice.

I'm sorry... "Janet"?

"Janet" is the callsign used by EG&G -- the contractor that flies US Military and defense department contractors from Las Vegas out to locations in Nevada and California like Tonopah, Palmdale, and....ahem....other locations in the Nevada desert.

Ah, Thank you very much

ppragman · January 22nd, 2009, 15:15

That'd be fun, I'll talk to a buddy of mine.

fly8slep · January 23rd, 2009, 03:55

They were just hiring in August 08. Turnover must be terrible.

No they probably got abducted.

Do they really use that as a callsign? I thought it stood for:
Just Another Non Exisiting Terminal

I've heard several times that a contractor has to pay $25k for a SSBI. That would be more expensive than paying for a type.

I wish I still had a current one

falconvalley · January 23rd, 2009, 11:20

This isn't your typical background check. They actually do check...EVERYTHING.

Yeah but if you held one before, it is MUCH easier to get another one. I have heard the FBI agent needs to really only research through the lapse.
That saves alot of money versus going to interview every person you have ever known.

The FBI seldom do backgrounds on any thing less than a Yankee/White (white house) TS clearance anymore. Most of its done by contract Investigators (Usually retired FBI agents

)

Unfortunately (vis a vis SSBI), I have lived overseas 12 of the last 15 years, 2 in Amsterdam and 10 in Spain with a lot of travelling around on bidness.
I had a reserve job lined up about 4 yrs ago that required a SSBI, but after almost 2 years of waiting for investigators to go overseas, I moved on. Apparently with the backlog, they couldnt be bothered having to go overseas. Besides all that second hand smoke in Holland probably qualifies me as a doper.

Bandit_Driver · January 23rd, 2009, 21:57

When I was getting my 737 last year some of the instuctors were ex-miiltary and said the TS background checks were about 40K if wanted to fly for Janet and you didn't have one.

I also heard that they may be getting NG's in the near future and retiring the -200's

ManlyAKpilot · January 24th, 2009, 07:14

Do you think with some clever freedom of information act request, one can actually figure out the actual name for Area 52?

Yes, it's called "The Air Force's Operating Location Near Groom Lake, Nevada" in the Executive Orders that talk about it.

Who cares? If they have flying saucers and aliens in there (doubtful), will find out in 50 years, no need to beat your head against a wall of red tape.

They have 2 737s with CFM engines sitting on their ramp. Don't know which model they are.

I know it's just a place where they want to test some new aircraft without disturbances, I was just curious on the actual name of the place.
