Anyone have the scoop on this company flying DC-3s in the land of sand and sun? Thanks.

With your flight time? STAY AWAY from them!!

I use to live down in the Virgin Islands and I can honestly say that a good operator is very difficult to find down there. Combine part 135 and in the middle of the ocean and apparently bad things happen. With that said my dream job is down in St. Croix / St. Thomas with Seaborne. Cape Air isn't to bad either, but it is a 402 and it is certainly not a career type job.

4-Star have been around for 20+ years.

Some guys when straight from 4-Star to Flying Tigers.
Good stepping stone, DC-3 on the resume looks good.

Is four star the last real DC-3 operator anywhere near the states?

There are three or four DC3 or Super 3 operators at Opa Locka so I don't think so.

I would love to fly a DC-3, but these days Glass and Jet time look better on a resume than DC-3 time. Heck, even Falcon 20 time with a 6 pack is frowned upon at some places. It really is a shame that "Real Flying" is not as valued as it use to be. I'd take a old DC-3 guy over a RJ driver any day when the turds hit the fan.

too bad you aren't doing the hiring around the country.

Referring to DC-3 pilots. Paraphrasing a line from the movie Heartbreak Ridge...

"This is the new Airline. The new breed. Characters like you are an anachronism. You should be sealed in a case that reads break glass only in the event of emergency".

It all depends what you want....it's crew flying,
which looks good on a resume most places, but it's
obviously not sophisticated instrumentation. I don't
know much about the mechanical condition of the
planes, but if it's acceptable, there are a lot of worse
flying jobs out there. You won't be sent to
Cleveland or YIP in the middle of the night in a
blizzard.....
