How can we expect you to take care of our planes?” Lol! That’s the nature of my business. I go places others don’t and sometimes, my vehicle doesn’t survive. All but one were rentals, too.
Wasn’t sure where they even saw that info but have learned LexisNexis is the only background check that provides that sort of information.
Airlines fly when and where the GA guys won’t go to either. They bring up a valid point. No one cares if you get 76 people to Fargo on time in a blizzard with 50 knot crosswinds if you can’t re-use the airplane afterwards. Sometimes you have to know when to say no. The fact that you totaled two rentals is a pretty huge red flag. If you’re going to be doing crazy stuff at least do it with your own vehicles.
