SkyLens Aerial Imaging is looking for a few more Cessna 172 pilots in the next month or so. We have successfully negotiated our insurance minimums down to 250 hours.
Please see our employment page at the following link and follow the directions exactly
http://www.skylensaerial.com/employment.html
This job isn't for everyone but some pilots absolutely love it. We are in mid-season now but you’ll work at least until May 31. There are no holidays or vacations but you will build serious time and have good QOL. Your days off happen on bad weather or low ceiling days. Regular season is typically October through End of May but a few aircraft can fly well into or through the Summer and if you want full time we can find something for you to do during the slow summer months. There is no policy against IFR or night flying and in general, pilots are afforded a significant amount of autonomy on the road as long as they do not betray my trust. I like to hire pilots that I do not have to micro-manage.
Starting base salary is $55 per day (with a raise to $60 after 90 days) 7 days a week plus a $30 per diem. Rental car and single occupancy hotel room are company paid. There is a graduating scale performance bonus that can net a top performer an extra $1000+ per month, plus a season completion bonus. There is a $30 per mo fee paid to pilots who maintain a tablet w/ Foreflight. Airfare is paid to/from training. Pilots are W2 employees, not treated as 1099 Independent Contractors.
We have two Piper Aztecs that are on contract now and two others that may go on contract next season. The insurance mins are still a bit high for the twins so an experienced Aztec pilot with 40+ multi might be able to get into one at the beginning of next season if he/she works the season in a Cessna. We also have programs to help dedicated employees get ME and MEI ratings and upgrade into the twins.
If you have a non-private question about the job, ask it in this thread as opposed to PMing me. I don’t check in here for days sometimes so please be patient.
