Re: Keystone Air
WJ733,why are you asking for advice, you have an answer and counter to every response. Not to mention you have friends there, they should be the ones you are talking to about this, not the peanut gallery on AVCAN. I have never worked there but had one of our airplanes maintained by them for a while and it seems like our snags would be fixed for a week but then popped up again shortly after, always a temporary fix. As mentioned in previous posts, company president and CP were never friendly and got the feeling that they would stab you in the back if you didn't do what they wanted (Yes i Do have stories to support that claim but wont get into it on here).

Lets just say they would, do you think then, they could build a reputation strong enough to attract interested pilots as much as other companies in the region? Thoughts?

Re: Keystone Air
I saw that too, weird thing is i made it last year immediately after JITB made his comment, how it got the date??? There are a bunch of comments missing from the thread, me thinks a mod did some purging of inappropriate comments.

I've noticed a lot of comments re: this particular company tend to get axed pretty quickly.cdnpilot77 wrote:I saw that too, weird thing is i made it last year immediately after JITB made his comment, how it got the date???

And in fact, I seem to remember reading CDN's response shortly after I made that post months ago.
I know several people who have left ramping gigs at much better companies to fly at Keystone because they didn't want to wait it out. They are all extremely unhappy, and very quickly too. It's funny how, once you get the giant golden-airplane-mustflynow-eyeballs out of the way, all of a sudden it doesn't seem like such a good idea to fly for just "any" company you can. And people wonder why so many become bitter, but hey, like Doc says "if the shoe fits, it's yours!"
