Florida Coastal Airways

Anybody have anything on them? Good, Bad, Indifferent?
I hear that they are replacing the 402's with turbine equipment.

stay the hell away from florida coastal! flew 135 charters out of fll for past 3 years and I thank God that I had the strength to put up with all of the crap that went on out of fll and around the bahamas. the bahamas flying was awesome


working for the other 135 companies to build up my flight time to be where i am now, awful......... 1st 135 job i had was "airflight" which i look back now...the best 135 job. airplanes were great! owners are awesome, they are really cool but its 135 so....on demand..meaning you'll get A LOT OF CALLS for pop up trips and all...basically having no life. it was tough trying to get days off, had to pull teeth to get the days off and even when i did, i still get phone calls \ so if you put up with that, then go for it! again they are good. have not worked for dolphin atlantic "gold aviation" but they have nice airplanes too.

didnt work for fca but worked with them from other charter companies to know they cut corners, their airplanes are scary (maint problems) and i've personally talked to their pilots in the bahamas (marsh harbour) and was like glad im not on his airplane.

my opinion

dont work for yellow scare taxi, calypso air, air florida, fca, or air sunshine
STAY AWAY FROM THEM and you will be happy
