Centurion/Tradewinds
Any info on either company would be greatly appreciated. The good, bad, and ugly please. I've been doing some searching and haven't had a lot of luck. I only ask because my dad just called and said he just had a trip with a guy that knows some of their training folks and that they are doing some hiring. Pops said the guy he flew with might be able to throw me a bone and give me an internal rec and walk my stuff in. Forgive my ignorance, I know nothing about the freight world, my first post here actually. PMs welcome. Thanks.

For starters it's not called Tradewinds anymore, It's "Sky Lease One" new hires must sighn a $25,000 bond. They are the red headed step child of Centurion Cargo,they do all the dirty work. No union, mention it and you get fired.

Wow. I thought I was desperate for work but maybe not that desperate. Thanks for the heads up. How about Centurion though, I know they have a union at least. Might the grass be a little greener over there?
