Key Lime Air stinks

I worked for Key Lime Air in 2000-2002 and was very disappointed, I was treated like crap, the training sucks, after ground school it took me 5 months to get my checkride, was a SIC and got paid $5.00 an hour to bust my ass, the wreck airplanes, few fatalities, and 4 metro crashes in 4 months...stay away, let them go down fast! They are a terrible carrier..hope FAA looks into how many violations they break everyday...from duty times, to deicing.....everything...mx..all terrible. Try Superior or many other cargo carriers..key lime is a class clown operation!
Don't recommend it...do anything to avoid and get to a 121 outfit. Sorry for the negatives, but I was screwed way too many times there!

FWIW,

I talked to the CP there and they hire only from the SIC development program. It sounded a little scam-like to me as well. Too much talk about things being extra $$...

I opted for something else.... luckily for me I guess cause all these posts are news to me : )

" the Chieftain is an ok plane in the ice as long as all the boots are working.

Chieftain is ok in ice as long as the engine inlets don't start to close up. I aged 10 yrs once on an approach into LCI. Cough, sputter, sputter. Alt air is marginal, but the boots worked really well.

"inlets don't start to close up"

I been in a lot of heavy ice, never had that happen. It's possible that the filter actually iced over, it sits in the open at the bottom of the cowling. No fun what ever the cause though.

I flew a Caravan out LCI back in the late 80's, pretty cool place to live, back then.

I can't imagine single pilot IFR in a Metro... er, I mean, PFT SIC crewmember. Oh wait, it's the same thing.

sad.

Here is what it is like to fly for Key Lime Air. Some of the shenanigans they pull include. Ripping you off on your paycheck and if you don't catch it they just made that much off of you. They don't believe in duty time. If you try to call in sick they will threaten you with your job. Wrongful Termination's. They have had 4 Metroliner incidents in 33 days last year not to mention the Incidents and accidents they have had over the years in business. I would not Recommend. Try Ameriflight!
Fly Safe!
