Jump Pilot - Coleman, FL, 182/208

[MNFlyboy]

I know a guy starting up a drop one in central Florida and needs a good, hardworking pilot for his new DZ. Will be operating both 182 and 208 aircraft. 1000tt insurance mins, and 25hrs in type, but that's buildable in training. Unique ground floor opportunity. A&P preferred, but not required. Housing not provided but DZ has camping facilities and trailer hookups. $12/182 load, $15/turbine load. No minimum pay guarantee yet, but negotiable as business progresses.

PM if interested.

1000 to fly jumpers in a 182? you gotta be kidding me?

At least they don't require ATP/CTP...yet.

The 1000hrs is for the Caravan, so no I'm not kidding you. This is typical for a turbine jump ship.

Considering you didn't differentiate between a/c, one had to assume it was for both. Carry on.

Startup using a Caravan and paying $12-15 a load? Yeah...good luck with that.

Guess the drop zones in Florida run in line with the charter companies.

Update: $15 flat for both airframes to altitude, and $10 a load to 4500 for static line ops. Guarantee after the first month the business is open.

That is pretty typical, across the country, actually.

Really? Most dropzones I've encountered are closer to $20/turbine load

No two DZ's are alike. $15-20 is ballpark for a turbine.
