More on Van Wagner?
[quote=towhook;175484]Van Wagner is a great company. I flew for them all last summer. New hires get topped out at $40/hr now.
I was towing well over 100 hrs a month, flew a ton of xc, saw lots of the country, and still have opportunities to fly for them when I have the time off. Sometimes I wonder if I should just tow banners for the rest of my life... then I remember what it was like to **** in a bottle all day while sitting in a windy box 3 ft away from the open pipes for 12 hrs a day.
What kind of minimums are they looking for?

Yeah i talked to that company last year. RIDICULOUS! but if you can afford it and get hired i guess it could pay off in the result of a ton of time.

I think that the owner from Myrtle Beach needs some serious head check up.
