Exec Star would take the prize for the worst one out there, I used to see them on a daily basis, and all I can say is O MY GOD.

CAT isn't the worst place out there, believe me.

SkyWay Enterprises, Kissimmee, FL

The "miami vice looking building" but personally I know of scrap yards that are cleaner than their ramp. I watched them almost run their DC-9 off the end of the runway a few years ago after an engine failed.

Watching a guy float halfway down the runway in a -9 in Kissimmee (when they could have gone to Orlando 3 min away) was enough for me to wonder about them.

Yeah, but can you imagine the extra cost involved with having the A/C at MCO, when the MX base is in Kissimmee? The crew would have surely been fired for that, or at the very least lost a pay check. LOL,,,I have all kinds of crazy SkyWay stories. It was the first operator that I worked for.

Exec Star....people confuse their area of the ramp for a salvage yard.

I've heard plenty of horror stories too...been kicked off 2 of the 3 ramps @ my home base.

"Ahhh.....the neighborhood bar that is Aviation"

Ex cargo dude.

I have two friends who used to fly for them and I believe that most of their flying is out of FLL but they also fly out of Jax. They fly 207s through King Airs (didn't they do a gear-up in that?) and from what I hear, the owner likes to hire pilots who aren't quite legal so that they won't complain when asked to fly stuff they shouldn't. For example, I've heard that some guys got hired for "VFR" 135 with about 470 TT and once they'd logged a few hours for him at that point, there was no way they could complain to the FAA when he threatened to fire them for not flying when it was 200-1/2. I won't even mention the condition of the airplanes but you can probably imagine.

The above post is right on the money, except it is worse than that, and the owner...well lets just say he not playing with a full deck.

One of the Execstar pilots was checking the weather at the FBO I work at, and from what I understand, was hesitant to go. The crazy owner comes in while its pouring rain in the King Air with this young slutty chick in the right seat. He hops outta the plane before we even have the chocks in and the props are still spinning and runs inside to look at the weather computer. Tells the pilot its ok and to just follow him. Absolutely insane operation.....

Another note, the guy asks for a GPU to start up the King Air- man I love gettin close to those spinning props (not).

Has anyone heard of Keylime Air?

This place has killed many many people and hurt many many people and fired many many people for following rules and regulations.

This place is only for people who are not able to get a job at a normal company due to their background check.

I say Keylime Air is the worst place to work.
