Our final broadcast from EAA AirVenture
2007 includes a segment on Cirrus Design
Corporation. The company was founded in
1984 with a dream to design and build affordable
airplanes that deliver greater control,
more comfort, and unprecedented levels of
safety. Today, Cirrus is developing several
new models of aircraft including the single-engine,
piston-powered SR22. That model clinched
the distinction as the world's best selling
airplane in its class. More than 1,250 talented
individuals work for the Duluth, Minnesota-based
manufacturer and many exciting career opportunities
are still available at Cirrus. AvjobsWeekly
spoke with Cirrus co-founder Dale Klapmeier,
who talked about the company's newest aircraft
and also discussed the many job opportunities
available in engineering, sales and other
important functions. Mr. Klapmeier also
describes what his company seeks in job
applicants.
