[junkjockey]

Got a call for an interview yesterday. Anybody know anything about them. Quality of life, Aircraft MX etc... Anything would be appreciated.

I started a post on them a while ago. Turned into a few pages...

I just read that thread...BRUTAL!! Heh heh...funny thing is I know C.H. personally and I think he's just as arrogant outside the office as it sounds like he is in the office. I don't work for Key Lime and never have, but do know a handful of people that do, uncluding thier FAA PMI. I would never work there just based on my personal experience and social interaction with C.H. Its a mixed bag of opinions on working there and how maintenance is. My late husband interviewed with them several years ago and really wanted to get the time/experience but ended up turning it down because of pay. Like any other job...ya gotta do what ya gotta do! Good luck.

P.S.-dunno if you're from CO or not, but it is a great place to live if you decide to relocate.

I know they were the only ones landing in DEN the other day when they had microbust alerts.

Hey Skygirl, nice to see you around! Hope everything's going well.

I must be the only one who does in-depth research on companies before I apply to them.

It amazes me how many people get interviews with a company, THEN asks what the QOL, maintenance, and flying is like for said company. That's crazy to me.

I don't think it is crazy at all. Send out 100 resumes, get 5 reples. It is those 5 that you begin to research.

Everyone has their own way of jobhunting.

Hehe, that was kind of funny seeing that Navajo doing 360s overhead while we watched this downdraft and subsequent billowing cloud of dust erupt from the southeast...

Lakes wasn't landing in it?

SKYGIRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL glad to see you are still lurking on the boards...I do miss a certain someones humor

There have been numerous fatal crashes at this company over the years. Do a search on NTSB.GOV if you don't believe it.

Nope. Our restriction is 30 knots shear or the words "microburst" used in conjunction with the landing runway. I was at the front of the huge lineup on 17L, not going.

THANKS!! I sent a PM to wrxpilot but you are the second one that has said something so I thought I would post out loud so to speak. I'm well, I'm happy, I'm still flying! I'm also still lurking around the boards, just don't always post...

I miss that certain someone's sense of humor as well (more often than not). I'm sure he'd have some real spicy input on Key Lime, heh heh. Thanks again for the HI and stay in touch.

P.S. Just a personal note because I know one of the owners...stay away from Key Lime junkjockey, there are better places to work.

I've got a friend who is leaving Key Lime for a job with Gulfstream ....so that should tell you something about Key Lime!
