 Re: Going Freelance
I don't think Avemco is really gonna work for you. It will be fine if you train three or four guys that are gonna use the plane a lot. But, to add Joe Blow to take the plane to ABQ and back three times a year, it won't work too well. And, wait until you try to add another CFI? I'll bet they say no way. That's what they told me a couple of years ago.
Good luck with it. Avemco is a great deal, if you can live with their terms. I just don't see it fitting the operation your website seems to be shooting for. There is insurance out there that is more liberal, but I'd be it will cost you twice as much.
I think if you stick with this, you'll make bank. It takes a while to get established. If your goals are to quickly move on, then that's fine, too. But I love it when I guy bucks the system, finds a niche, and does well with it. I've known freelancers that make as much as RJ Capts and are home every night. It's just that most guys want to move up the ladder, which is probably your desire as well.
