Dude, I'm just passing on what the company tells us.

And my interview went just fine. Not everyone stayed in the safety of the traffic pattern with primary students for our first 1,500 hours. Some of us unfortunately had the displeasure of working for bottom feeder 135 outfits that think they're God's gift to aviation.

Me neither. Some day we'll swap stories over a beer. Or if you're SLC based we'll find you some decaf.

If you had ever CFI'd you'd know the traffic pattern is never safe with a primary student. And for fun you go go fly with a instrument student flying his first instrument approach for real with the leans. Always a good time. And you ought to try working for a flight school that thinks its Gods gift to aviation.....fun times.

No doubt, no flying is ever truly safe. But getting pushed to load your own airplane, do all your own paperwork, deice with a scrapper and a broom in a snowstorm to single pilot hand fly when it's 6AM and the company decided to keep you up all night rescuing and ferrying airplanes is in a little different league.

Is Commutair really that much of a step up from Key Lime?

Baby steps. That's all you can ask for these days.

Unless you really, really want to live in a particular outstation that the feeder serves, any 121 regional is a step up from a UPS feeder.

No its not. I've flown checks, CFI'd and flown 135. 135 was the easiest of those gigs, followed by the checks, and flight instructing.
