Key Lime Sucks-Metro 5 down in 5 months

[bb9000cde]

Dear safe pilots in the aviation industry.

I have a breaking announcement, that will make you smile.

Well to everyone who didn't know this, KEY LIME SUCKS! They wrecked and totaled another metro, the nicest one they had, a 1996 metro 23, came in to fast, SIC flying and it's done. PIC wrecked plane trying to recover it. They will be gone and out of business in just a few weeks now....get away, don't ever fly for them....a terrible name, I can't believe I have them on my resume. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN IF YOUR A PILOT THERE!!!!!

This company is mismanaged, poorly run, treats pilots like crap, pays crap, unsafe, and it's done!!!


Please add to this kind posting!

Thanks-

BREAKING NEWS:

A ratty freight metro operator bangs up a few planes and is not a great place to work.

Didn't Key lime crash two of their metro's into each other?

I'd hate to make that insurance call.

scoot

Gulfstream 200,

You seem to rag on the Metro and the pilots who fly it a great deal. While I agree that it can be a handful and that it's no place for a PFT F/O or a low time Captn, it's a good airplane. I have a great deal of SP time in them and have had my share of adventures. However, if you respect the airplane and stay ahead of it things are fine. That's true of all aircraft.

Just wondering why you seem so against the Metro?

re-read what I wrote there buddy.

I never ragged on a Metro or any Pilot who flew them.

What I ragged on were the outfits who operate them and the moron poster who is enlightening the aviation community about them being shady outfits....like we didn't know this???

While I never flew a Metro, I have flown plenty of old, semi-maintained aricraft..who hasn't???

Perhaps I am getting your Avtar confused with anothers. I was just wondering. Please don't take offence.

Hey Gulfstream I also flew Single Pilot in the Metro. I don't think the individual who started the post did anything wrong. You know as well as I do there is a wide variety of how these 135 operators treat people and run things. I think it was a fine post so people who are trying to get into a 135 job can research and know what kind of history is at the company before they get hired. My recommendation is Ameriflight.
Fly safe!

N1,

Why Ameriflight? Have you flown for them? Just wondering why you suggest them and no other?
