Anyone here flying with them or did so? I have an interview in a few weeks... looking to move my flying career back to the Northeast. How about Wiggins while were at it.....

what i know of airnow as of the last couple of months.

Just lost a large wrongful termination lawsuit after firing a pilot for refusing to fly broken equipment.

2 plane crashes within the last two months a believe three this year.

As far as overall reputation i haven't heard anything good.

We all read the same stuff on the internet. Anyone WORKING for them??? And ts not completely fair to blame a fuel exhaustion against any company BTW

Go on the website and check out the picture of one of their Brazilias. I think the pilot's uniform is worth more than that thing!!

I hope that isn't the best picture they could come up with, LOL.

If you're serious about working in the NE, apply here:
http://wiggins-air.com/intro.html

Airnow pilots - "ability to make $28,000/yr"
Wiggins pilots - "starting salary of $32,500+/yr"

I personally know about wiggins. They are a stand up operation. They feed for UPS and FedEx. I was actually thinking about leaving my 121 gig once I hit 500 multi and seeing if they'd put me in their BE99. My home town is in NH, and I used to unload their planes on the UPS ramp back in the day (summer of 2000).

Airnow, from what I've heard is not a standup company. I prefer to immerse myself in a positive environment vs. one that is run on fear, IMO. Go to flightinfo.com, and do a search. There is plenty information on them.

I work for them and have to say you definately get paid more than wiggins. Any questions let me know..... By the way we don't fly Brasilias. They are Bandits. Also fly C-208 and SD3-60
