I started my flying career at a picto company after reading a thread on JC. I only wish Skylens was around back then, as everyone I know that's worked there speaks very highly of their experience

If your low time and want a job I'd be jumping all over this. Skylens is one of the better AI jobs around and I've always heard good things from their pilots about Bryan.

I work for one of the other picto vendors and can honestly say skylens and the company I work for are the best when it comes to pay and equipment. If you are looking for a way to get time fast don’t wait to apply.

Thanks for all who applied. This position has been filled, however we expect a three aircraft expansion in the next few months. Please keep an eye on this forum for future postings.

Might have to pull the trigger when the position comes up again.
