SkyLens
it's all single pilot ops.
you'll fly a ton; it's weather dependent but even with crap weather, you can (and are encouraged) to go "take a look" and that can easily burn an hour or Hobbs time… other times of year, you'll be praying for rain just to get a day off!
Bryan runs an great company; be honest and fair with him and he'll be honest and fair w/ you.

Hired 1-2 weeks ago. Bryan said this year is extremely competitive. Something like last year or two years ago there were 9 applicants with 8 slots to fill. It's more like 100+ applicants and 5 slots to fill. To be competitive you at least have to have ME. I think he was choosing between different MEI's who have all of their ratings. That being said I got a call from air America this week so they'll be starting up hiring I guess.

They're not really that bad. Every maintenance issue I've ever had it's been no problem taking it to local maintenance. The only weird (shady) thing they do is employ you as a private contractor instead of W2. Okay, so figure out how to do your taxes as a 1099 and you'll have no problem with that either.

I'd fly for them. I've been a contractor for 3 years already (different industry) and already have a corporation in place. With that said, I would only hire on through my corporation, meaning they had to pay my Corp or no dice. (Limits my liability exposure)
