Looking for work in Colorado

Don't mean to HiJack this thread, but I am also looking in Colorado.

I'm almost at FAR 135.243(c) mins, and was wondering if anyone knew of a SIC opportunity at an Air Ambulance/Charter company?

Here's what I'm at right now:
1160 TOT / 1000+ PIC / 600+ XC / 49 NGT / 26 MULTI / 1st-Cl. Med / ATP Written Passed / Restricted Radio Operator thingy

Thanks!

Good luck, check around Centennial but when I was there a couple years ago the mins were pretty high.

A little low for the times required by places like International Jet and Mayo where you could be SIC in a Lear, but if you're interested in work in the Denver area, Key Lime would probably be the best place to build your hours. That said, do your homework on them first and make sure it's a place you'd be willing to work at. LOTS of info out there on them, and most of it isn't high praise.

You are right- I have also noticed the Part 91/135 SIC times are a little higher out in CO (possibly due to higher elevations/mtnous terrain), but within this past year I have seen a few ads I may qualify for. Now that I have opened up my search to CO, this is giving me hope.

I haven't heard good things about Key Lime, either. I have my opinion on them. Could you maybe give me your more specific opinion/things I should look out for? (PM) That and Boutique Air (PC-12 operator with base in Denver).

That would help, since there are many reasons people say good and bad things about different operators.

Much 'preciated.

BTW, Great Lakes also has a base in Denver ;^) (Mostly kidding)

I have no "inside" info on Key Lime as I have never worked there. We have hired a few guys from there in the past and I've read plenty about them on different forums. The one big thing I took away was the you don't really quit Key Lime, you get fired. I'm sure others on here who have actually worked there can shed more light than I can.

I know nothing of Boutique Air either, other than they operate PC-12s. What is your long term (5-10 years) goal btw? If it's just living in CO and flying you're after, there's plenty of opportunity for that. If it's bigger and shinier that you're after, maybe try to find a place where you can work your way into building multi TPIC. That way you can set yourself up to be in a great situation 2-3 years from now. Are you currently flying? You're not too far off from meeting ATP mins, have you considered the regionals? Skywest has a COS and DEN base.

Just closed out my second aerial survey contract of the year a few weeks back. No, not flying right at the moment.
