The boss tries to run with as little risk as possible, and maintenance on the planes is a high priority. The planes show their age, but they're not going to fall out of the sky. I got 600 hours during my season there. If you have any more questions let me know. I typed up a document a couple years ago for a guy that got hired there to give him the scoop on the whole operation, so if you want it, let me know.
Thanks for the info! Did this lead into a job once you were done? If you don't mind, can you PM me the document? A buddy of mine are currently through the application process and were wanting info on them.
