Plus the possibility of an end of year bonus based off of performance. Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Fill us in
Fill us in
The 206's and 210 are out and about, currently in the south so the other guy was flown commercially to his deployment area on the 15th but I stayed behind as my 206 had been brought back to base at the end of the year to be annualed at which time they also put a new engine and prop on as well as doing a bunch of other work. It was not ready until this past week, but I finally deployed and met up with the other guy on Friday.
Today was actually my first day of production flying, flew for ~5hrs. So far so good! Already have reached Gold membership status with Holiday Inn lol.

The Hiltons and Marriotts have reacently switched to a 24+hr cancellation policy and that just usually won't work with our operation. The IHG properties still have 1800 day-of and if you are a member of their rewards club you can cancel at any time without penalties.
