Default Where to obtain ferry flying work

hey all,

I am trying to get involved in ferry work for airline aircraft such as 737/A320/A330.

I have contacted PARC but I get the feeling its not a big part of their business.

Can anybody point me in the direction of a company that is involved in utilizing part time crew for ferry flights?

regards

Have you considered reaching out to repo companies as well?

sata, I considered this but I assumed they would be more involved in repo of smaller aircraft such as corporates etc.

Can you suggest any repo companies that would use crew? The only repo work I have seen was on tv and was actually rather funny!!!!!

The airline's use their own personnel to ferry aircraft for the most part. Otherwise there are company boeing/airbus pilots that do a lot of the test flying and ferrying before the airline takes it. Unless it's a small airplane, this is usually what I've heard happens out in Seattle.

There are lots of private contractors/small companies that ferry smaller aircraft.
