Talked to a Caravan driver while I was sitting around their FBO in Manchester. He seemed pleased with it. He said the Caravans they fly are in pretty good shape. Nice avionics and good Mx. They start Caravan-drivers somewhere around 35,000 I think. They also have some guys that have been there 10+ years so that would lend itself to a good company. He said the routes are good and the schedules are good too. Good luck! They had a great staff. Everyone around that I met seemed happy so that is a good sign about a company as well. You going for a 208 or a 99 position?

Dumb question? I 'think' I know a little bit about aviation. I have GA, Military and 2 airlines background (I subscribe to Aviation Week!). I flew King Airs (nice airplane) for a short time but ...
What's a 99? I know what a Beech 99 is ... same thing? Because it's in the same sentence with "Caravan" does that mean they're both FedEx Feeders?
