I think a lot of companies preach safety but in turn will tell you to do something that isn't safe because it hurts their bottom dollar... There's also air choice one, boutique air, makana Kai, sea port all of wich are better than pw and if I'm not mistaken they'll take low time guys.. Best of luck
Here is where I take issue...if somebody goes onto the forums saying he's flown an airplane that I have time in, and cannot even describe a vital safety system like boots are on a Caravan, then I will have issues with what they are saying. If somebody comes on here and says he personally knows people that were violated at a company, and he was pressured to do illegal and immoral things (I believe those were the words he used), and is not shouting for people to stay away, then I take umbrage with what he is saying.
I can easily describe the system that's not what I was describing. I was describing the texture there's a huge difference I've got 2000 hours in the van and I didn't come here to impress you with system knowledge I was simply answering a question. So they pressured me big deal! It only becomes a violation when the PIC makes the decision to go. Who cares what management says no one will tell me how to fly my airplane period. If you don't have the balls to stand up for your self and do what you've been trained to do and you get a violation who's at fault? If you choose to go there just don't put up with bs and you won't get violated. I never did and really it wasn't that hard. I never recommended anyone to go but it worked out great for me. For instance I saw a pilot write something up the previous day than the very next morning take off and fly than the company reported them to the faa. I saw a vfr only pilot take off into imc and the company reported it I mean really? Why should I tell someone to run at the top of my lungs if you watch your back you can make it out fine with the time you need to go where we want. I didn't even have a multi rating when I was hired.Here is where I take issue...if somebody goes onto the forums saying he's flown an airplane that I have time in, and cannot even describe a vital safety system like boots are on a Caravan, then I will have issues with what they are saying.

The military thing is like comparing apples to nuclear missiles. What happens in a war zone, or the military in general, has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on a scumbag operation and them taking advantage of low time guys like yourself. I served 9 years in the Navy, and it has absolutely zero, zilch, nada, to do with my career. Ask the pointy nose guys on here...other than aerodynamics, there is nothing similar between their mission and civilian transport. Ask the heavy guys, their missions take them places where sometimes, you just need to get out of town. Other than Detroit and Oakland, that does not apply to us.
I've said it repeatedly in this thread to Hanah, don't send mixed signals. Do not even entertain the idea of going there. You've worked too hard to get where you are. Why throw your career away for a scumbag operator? Find another way. We were ALL low timers also. If you want this career, find a way without this company.
Best of luck in the job hunt!
Guess you can't read? When did I call you a liar? If you can't read why should I believe you felt the boot? What's wrong with all of you people gosh damn. I answered his question and get attacked by people why the resentment because I might not agree with every issue you guys have? Get a grip.
Where do you live in South Florida? Have you been to any drop zones personally to beg for a job? How about traffic watch jobs? How many people do you know at the local airports? Start pounding pavement. Get out there and meet people.
I actually live outside Atlanta, and i have been to some local drop zones, but like everything else minimums are 500
Well, my recommendation is to try to avoid Florida, if possible. They prey on low time guys, take advantage of you, and spit you out. Even in North Florida where I live, it's nearly impossible to find a decent job. Look up @chrisreedrules and his posts to see what frustration looks like, and he has around 1500 hours, if memory serves correctly.
No problem. Sorry I kind of turned your thread into a crap show. I just don't think anybody who has experienced a very terrible operation, should be even hinting at taking a job at said place. That was my main point, and it got lost with the back and forth. For that, I apologize. I have already talked to @Hana_montana about the same thing via PM.
Seriously, in 2012? I was hired at 9w in 2011 with 1300TT and zero turbine... I thought everyone was hiring like gangbusters in 2012.
