This is an interesting video... Key Lime has always had a bad rap, but I admire this guy’s enthusiasm and he seems to do a decent job of explaining what it’s like to work there:
I used to do that stuff out of DEN when DEN was called Stapleton. BFF-SNY-DEN in an AC500 for Corporate Air. Did it for six months to get my multi time up to 500 so I'd be considered for a commuter job. The year was 1987. I made $1500/mo.
I "lived" in BFF. Cheapest place I've ever rented. It was so boring I'd drive to DEN on the weekends, sleep in the crew room, and drink beer at a place called Tivoli.
In 2005 starting pay at Central Air in an AC500 was 1500$/month for the first six months increasing to 1800$ thereafter if I remember correctly.I used to do that stuff out of DEN when DEN was called Stapleton.

Do you know what a metro looks like?If the Metro doesn't have a functioning autopilot...
Can they fly in RVSM space?
Are those things pressurized?
Dog rocketDo you know what a metro looks like?
Haha. Just the thought of a metro in RVSM.Dog rocket
Haha. Just the thought of a metro in RVSM.
Uh, ya my new C172 is RVSM certified.
Doesn't need one. It does require a competent pilot though. Not a babysitter.Yeah... I didn't know how high they operated. Makes more sense now. That thing not having an autopilot though...
Hell, that sound like more than you'd make doing the same job today.I used to do that stuff out of DEN when DEN was called Stapleton. BFF-SNY-DEN in an AC500 for Corporate Air.
