18k starting pay? You gotta be kidding!!! Starbucks starts at a higher wage......that schedule is horse sh!t
It sucks but this company may be the perfect bridge to the regionals, for the guy who doesn't want to flight instruct his way to 1,500 hrs.
Expect to see some Piaggio's in the grass at a Florida airport near you!

By far one of the hardest planes to handle on the ground in my opinion.
It steers the same as a Twin or Turbo Commander, and handles the same as a Lear for taxi. It's a very simple airplane.

What's difficult about the airplane to handle?
Not sure if you have flown it, but in my time flying the piaggio it has really helped the rudder skills. A narrow wheel base, an aft CG and a super sensitive electro hydraulic steering. All combines to make it a bit more hard to handle than the average.
