As long as you show up with an eager smile to be enslaved, you're in.

A little background info:
-Flight Safety CFI grad
-Age:29
-no 4 year college degree (tho I plan on completing this)
-not married/no kids
King Air job is:
-based in Stuart,FL (30 min drive from home)
-doesn't pay particularly well
I ask virtually every pilot I come in contact with their opinion and ultimately they lean towards 121. I hear a lot of "now's the time to get in", and "if I was ur age with that time I would go for airline". Also, I can't help but feel like I'm missing out on seniority not applying now.

I think this is ultimately what I'm going to do. Compass is looking pretty good right now too.

Be very very careful of the small operators flying from FL to the Islands.
Not all operators are reputable and not everything that comes on board in the cargo or otherwise on the plane, MAY be eligible to be brought in to the US.....
Many people have been burnt by the charm of Caribbean flying. Don't be another statistic...
Be careful & choose wisely....
Best of luck in whatever you decide...

I would say about the same. I was offered a retainer and daily stipend when the plane flew. Depending oh how often that is the pay could be decent or dismal.

Thanks for the info. If you decide not to take the job, and they are looking for other pilots, I wouldn't mind finding out more info from you.
As mentioned before, the location was appealing to me. Looking for currency after I apply for the majors. Though I am not discounting the regionals at all, I like to consider all options that involve flying in South Florida.
