I was contemplating asking the same thing since I saw their advert. for pilots on climbto350.com. Checked out their site, apparantly they have one of those fabulous (sarcasm) PFT first officer programs so that makes me wonder just how good, or bad, a 135 outfit they are.

I know they actually hire first officers for their pax service on their Metros. Their mins are something like 400/50 from what I read on some job websites. They do offer the PFJ thing from what I've seen but they also offer a "real" paying position as a FO that appears to be somewhat competitive salary and benefit wise.

Call them and talk to the HR manager.

Careful, they crash from time to time... When I was at DEN two of them taxiied into each other and really screwed the planes up. They are now parked out by the fire training area to the north. Also heard they lost another Metroliner on a training flight. Story I heard was they got into a flat spin and went down. I think there were more but I can't remember.

Yes they are a cargo outfit, and from looks of things on the hiring page they just raised their mins to 1000tt and 50 multi, compared to the 400tt they had yesterday.
