Maybe I missed it on the website, but what do they make?

Says they make $90/day for the first year.

I have a friend that just left there cause they were cutting back on maintenance costs. He said he had 3 engine failures in 2 weeks.

you do have 2 engines dont ya :p

Obviously you've never flown a 310 on one engine, it's no picnic.

I flew for Ram for a year and a half and personally never had an engine failure. I think there were only two during the whole time I was there - and one of them was just a failed mag/partial failure. One of the better MX depts. for a 135 piston outfit.

I fly a Cessna 340 RAM VI and I was always told;

"Two engines keep you in the air. One engine takes you to the crash site!"

I've lost an engine many times in the SIM and I don't like it there let alone for real!!!

What about in a SE plane?

One engine keeps you in the air. No engines lets you glide to the crash site?

from what i've heard those engine failures can be attributed to the idle setting. most if not all of them happened after pilot landed and was taxiing clear of the runway with the engine at idle. this is not uncommon with a lot of aircraft and is easily remedied with mx just tweaking that part.
