Default Piaggio Pilot Wanted...CAUTION!!!

Network Sales and Leasing, Piaggio II Pilot...just posted on climbto350.com

I worked for this company. They turn pilots like pancakes. If you want to push paper and baby sit a bad owner pilot, feel free. For any SANE person, I suggest you run, fast. This is trouble. Trust me.

No worse then working as a flight instructor or regional airline captain with a wannabee airline pilot as co. Pay is fairly decent and the airplane is nice.

I'd rather be a flight instructor (and I was one, so I know.) Yes, this is out of TTN. If you don't believe me, go ahead and give it a shot. Feel free. Do know that I am a professional and I am only seeking to save someone some serious headache and potential danger/death. Again, you're a big boy, so feel free to do as you like.

Can you give some details? I know someone who is a CFI looking at this job. Feel free to pm me if you don't feel comfortable airing it out here on the boards.

What I will air on this board is this general warning: As with any owner pilot, it is best to GET ALL DETAILS IN WRITING. Do not trust that they will remember that they told you that you did not have to come into the office each day. If you don't have things in writing, you will get OWNED b/c that person writes your check. If there is ANY question in your mind, get it in writing. If the person is not willing to sign off on promises, they are pulling your leg and you cannot trust them. Lay out the job rules and description and DO NOT vary from it. The moment you do, you will have screwed yourself. I have worked for several owner pilots, some good and some bad. This one happens to be the latter. I can not say it enough, GET IT IN WRITING. Also, it would be a good idea to check if they are current in the type of aircraft they fly, if they have had the appropriate checks (like a good instructor would) and be sure they could pass a PPC and IPC before risking your life with them. Read and understand the aircraft insurance policy b/c that is the only thing your family will have if you die. If you take the word of the owner that all is well, someone may get a surprise when the company won't pay due to violation of contract. Obtain legal insurance, I bought mine for AOPA, and RUN if the person starts asking to break FARs. Just good notes for ALL to remember about ALL owner pilot jobs, this one is certainly no exception.
