Sniff, sniff....I smell fish.

The typical practice is to hire a rated and current pilot from the ranks of
Flight Safety Training or sometimes from another operator. If I were the
person who owned that aircraft I would be very, very unhappy with the
"process" proposed below. The insurance company might not be exactly
thrilled, either.

I have a trip for my boss starting on Sunday July 10, through Sunday
July 17. My usual Co-Pilot is not going to be able to do the trip. The
trip will start in Santa Barbara, CA and we will fly to Auckland, New
Zealand (NZAA). We will overnight for two days, then head over to Tokyo
(RJAA), and then come back to Santa Barbara.

Qualifications required:

1,500 TT
100 multi
100 Jet
Prefer G-V experience, but will be giving three landings and systems
course anyhow, so not required.. but Gulfstream experienced pilots
would be best.

I thought it would be sort of unique to solicit some volunteers here.
Pay will be $250/day if you are not previously G-V qualified, $1000/day
if you are...
