Jeff is a good friend. If Rick G is a brit, I know him also. I'm from SRQ, transplant to TPA, but I know lots of airpark people through my old FO Fiona.
I liked ALS. I have worked for a few 135 and 91 ops, and they really are better. They are very serious about safety and legality. I never had any concerns about getting hurt or violated working there. But, 135 is 135...not for everyone.

ALS is looking for 12 pilots, sounds like they've acquired some new planes. Appreciate the good info from all!

So what are the upgrade mins at ALS. I'm another TPA'er trying to get out of the rat race.

Air Logic operates out of Tampa for most customer pick-ups and keeps their jets in Lakeland. The pay sounds good at first, but you only get 2/3 of your quoted pay on the days you don't fly. The salary quoted is based on a 200 day work year. That's 4 days a week and rarely happens on a consistent basis.

Most of the pilots, mechs and office people are very nice. The Fleet now consists of 3 Beechjets - 2 are not very modern and not RVSM'd. The other is a 3 tube EFIS with a lot of hours on it. They have one 604 that's very nice. There are 2 King Airs - a 90 and 200. There is one Falcon 20 coming out of refurb. There are 2 Hawker 800's. A GIII soon and/or maybe a GIV? The only jet ALS owns is the 604.
