Caboclo is right. Many people on FI post negative info about Key Lime Air (and other companies) without any actual firsthand knoweledge of the operation.
Here's my input...I was once a good Key Lime employee, now I'm just happy to have moved on without damaging my career.....besides having to put "Key Lime" on a resume!................................................. In these times, it may be the best thing you can find. If that is the case, I'm sorry and hope that you can find something better very, very soon.
Good luck!

They posted a Navajo VFR 135 PIC spot on climbto350. I'm not all that interested, but I'm short ~200 X-C hours to 135 IFR minimums and a VFR 135 spot looks alright if I can get out after 3-6 months without a training contract.
I might be wrong but I believe XC for 135 is anything airport to airport. The 50 nm is not require for 135 xc.
Don't believe everything you read, the negative people are always the most vocal. I've been with Key Lime for several years, I consider it one of the better 135 airlines. They provide furnished apartments with cable TV and crew cars at all the out-stations, as compared to making the pilots sit around the FBO all day. Pay is better than most. Upgrade to left seat of a twin turbine is faster than anywhere I know of, with the possible exception of Great Lakes. We are primarily a UPS contractor, which means that you won't get a huge amount of flight time, average maybe 750 hours/year. UPS also drives our schedule; if you're not familiar with the parcel carrier's schedule, better find out. It can work very well, depending on what you want and whether you're willing to relocate to a small town. Mx is good, training is improving. Metro time looks great in a logbook. We've had people go from here to the fractionals, Kalitta Air (747) etc. Depends on what you want to do. I'm not familiar with any Navajo VFR program; do you mean Navajo SIC program?
If you assume the worst about your boss and start screaming and cussing and threatening to call the FAA if he doesn't fix whatever the problem is, then he's probably not going to like you very much.
