Looking for exp. Pilot (2000 Hrs.or more)to fly the 180 or 210
I imagine they pay good money to be asking for that kind of time on that kind of equipment.

Anyone know :?:

I know that one of there planes was put down on its nose and they shot their requirements up. I tried as the 350hr wonder, called, walked in, spoke with Terry ... It's pretty well an insurance issue from what I understand.

Terry's a great guy, heard lots of good things about him and his company. They fly a shit load each season. Red, Pik, Pop, & Deer runs constantly.

Pilot's deal with the money. So if you're into dealing with the BS of customers not paying in full and having to keep track of that, then sounds like a busy place.

Was it pcb that went nose down, recently? I heard them everyday this summer and fall, and saw them a few times in Poplar...Could use a paint job! ;)

It happened a few years ago apparently, but he never mentioned PCB ... to be put on it's nose I would figure their 180 on wheels though :?

Yea PCB was about every second radio transmisson eh :lol:

It was CXM that landed hard last spring. The landing stressed the gear and clipped the prop. I would agree with Adam that the posted hours are solely for insurance. Terry is well known for employing low-timers. He is a great guy and the pay is well above par for being a native taxi. He doesn't make you do any other BS work.. you just FLY. It's too bad the insurance companies are twisting his arm to hire guys with more time.

I love Terry, he's a great guy and he does pay well and it was CXM in ZGR. All the guys that I've know that work for him thought he was a great guy, the biggest horror story my buddy once told me is an elderly female passenger tried to lick him once well he was flying.
