Sky Limo....on their way out of business......anyone heard this...?

So what does it cost for training? do they pay you back in one lump sum or a payment plan? Sadly with the 1500 hr rule coming soon I think that you will see more PFT. these companies are salivating.

Huge pilot turnover rate at Sky Limo....

WHY......the fools that are ignorant to Sky Limos little scam get screwed. They tell them that they will pay for training IF they decide to keep you full time after your first year. They just don't keep them on FULL-TIME. They call you a contract pilot.....they don't pay people back. Then they hire a new fool that pays for training.....

Care to explain your rationale? I and most of the people I know think just the opposite will occur. The 1500 hr rule (btw doesn't apply to 135, directly) should actually create a higher demand for pilot's thereby reducing the ability of sketchy operators to coerce new hires into PFT.

I could see what thunderworm described a possibility. If you think about it, there will be more pilots in the category of 250-1500 hours that wont be able to get a 121 regional job thus flooding other segments of the industry. The options will be slim to get to 1500 hours. Some 135s may see an opportunity to exploit pilots via PFT or poor pay etc..

Sky Limo makes the pilot pay for training...then says they will pay them back AFTER they fly for one year AND IF they like you AFTER that first year.....then they will offer you a FULL TIME position....and then pay you back over the next year.

Thing is (scam is)......they just say they want to keep you as a contract employee, then as the contract states, they DO NOT have to pay you back. So the pilot obviously leaves and they find another fool to pay for training and start the scam over.

Its a scam over there.

This is why they just lost the Lear 60....they scammed the owner out of pilot training money and other reasons and they use ZERO jet time pilots to fly a Lear 60 as SIC and a very low time jet guy for captain. Pathetic.

Tom Conlin, Jim Dent....arrogant, pathetic people in this industry. They hate pilots. HATE...... Pilots are the enemy to them. Tom has lawsuits against multiple pilots for leaving because they couldn't take the abuse anymore and quit. Just like the first Lear 60 crew they had, they both quit together.

They called a bunch of my Lear 60 friends trying to get them to work there on the 60....they all literally laughed at their hilarious offers. $50,000/yr plus $100 per flight hour after 4 flight hours each duty period. Some crap like that. PLUS...pay for their own recurrent training. And have to put up with a DO who couldn't hack it in the airlines and hates pilots..... hahahahahaha

Just another garbage operation with garbage people running it.

No, not really. Charter brokers are the only ones who give a sh!t about it.

Hell no....that's the biggest scam on the public. Idiot rich people and brokers are the only ones who think it means anything......look at Universal Jet, they have multiple crashes and more than 10 dead pilots and passengers and they have those stupid, useless ratings......

Hilarious how many people are fooled by that crap.
