I've been offered a job with them several times.
They want a CFI and Co pilot for their beech jets.
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.

Edit: Answered my own question. Read the post wrong.

Any idea of how much flying you do?

It's a combination of 135 and 91. I've heard they work you to death but I've also heard consistently that you'll get 100 hours a month.

How much is the loan & what are the terms?

I think it was around 8k for a one year commitment.

How do you fly 100 hours a month in the middle of western KS? Is most of that CFIing?

If you look, they aren't in the middle of Kansas. If I was guessing they do a lot of charter for oil companies since they are located right over the Oklahom-Texas panhandle

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.
