You would be surprised. I think it's a lot of cattle execs too. The owners of Pizza Hut have a plane there that Lyddons manages too. I think they have 3-4 Beechjets, Conquest 1's and 2's, an Aerostar, 210, 172 and some others.

Any info on the pay and benefits?

I have been out there a few times on day turns. Busy aviation hub, lots of charter work, and incredibly nice to me as a pilot/customer. It's in southwest Kansas, but there are worse places to live for a year or two. My suggestion is to at least look into them, I'm sure it's as good a gig as any low time pilot will get anywhere. Lot's of agricultural and oil money out there, then there is that whole farmers daughter thing.

Not sure, sorry.

I see them still advertising. I thought I'd give this a bump.

IIRC pay was listed @ 4k/mo after checkout as a twin piston and below 135 PIC. 5k once in the turbines. Like has been stated they are super super busy. We operate near by and one of the newish guys told me he did 850hr in '17 compared to what I thought was my busy 650.

The area out here really sucks if your used to a metro city with things to do but I don't regret the short term sacrifice. You'll get great skills with our wind / Wx and flying 421s, 425, 441, Pay2/XL is pretty fun, Their Beechjets fly A LOT. They just bought another. I'd at least check it out.

Liberal isn't. 20,500 very conservative citizens. Airport includes Mid-America Air Museum, 5th largest in the country, collection of about 100 a/c. Largest employer (3,500!) is National Beef Packing Co. Skywest has two RT to Denver, United Express CRJ-200s. Near nothing, hot, dry, windy.

Training Costs

For your beech jet training they co-sign a loan in your name and pay it as long as you're working there. If you quit early they stop paying the loan.

Do you go to Flight Safety or some other provider for the 400 training or do they do it in-house and the loan covers their expenses?

I believe they do it in-house.
