Its an outfit out of Fll and they are not a force to be joined... they put a C402 in the pond in 2003 near Treasure Cay... They were shut down but have since re-surfaced... If they have a guy with the initials J. S in the flight dept then run... JH send me a pm I will give you more details.

Run!!!
 
A friend of mine works there. The impression I get from him is that it is 'always a go' . He told me that he had to 'create' approaches for remote destinations, mx is terrible, and any time there's a thunderstorm over the airport the only guys swinging gear are air sunshine.

3.2 Probable Cause
The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the in-flight failure of the right engine and the pilot's failure to adequately manage the airplane's performance after the engine failed. The right engine failure resulted from inadequate maintenance that was performed by Air Sunshine's maintenance personnel during undocumented maintenance. Contributing to the passenger fatalities was the pilot's failure to provide an emergency briefing after the right engine failed.
