That's the listing I found.

They had no listing on their website, but if you're really interested you might want to followup here too which is where they mention applicants contact.

It looks like they have a 210, Navajo, 401, Partenavia and a Baron. I know nothing about their schedule other than whats in the job description which is extended deployments up to 4 weeks with one week off. It might be a good upgrade for anyone currently flying for Pictometry vendor. That said I like to think pay would be in the mid 30s at least, plus per diem and benefits, but I have no idea.

Can you elaborate a little for us?

First hand experience, my previous employer contracted them to fly a system for us with our own operator in the plane. The partnavia broke down with engine issues. The turbo mount was broke and was only being held to the engine via the exhaust pipes along with other things being wrong. Management wanted the pilot to have the turbos pulled off of the plane so he could continue flying it... That plane was going to be down for long term and so we pulled our system out and shipped it to their facility and it went into their Navajo which I was told by our operator was even sketchier than the previous plane. When they returned the system and operator, our own DOM was surprised by the condition of their plane. They will never be used again by my previous employer.

Second hand info from one of their pilots, they have changed names multiple times because of their rep and pilot's have been instructed to leave fbo's/ Mx shops without paying. I returned to the FBO the plane broke down at a later date and if I remember correctly, they did have issues getting payment but did ultimately get it.

I never thought it could be that bad after what you posted earlier, but that does sound pretty horrible. I like to think if they can afford the camera equipment they can afford to maintain their planes, but I know more than a few survey companies have ran themselves into the ground in short order due to poor management some that were around for quite a long time and relatively well run until that point.
