Well, I know the last two pilots that flew for them. One of them didn't mind it so much, and the other did it until it drove him near crazy.

The aircraft is a piece of . . . well, it's not so great. As the pilot, you're also responsible for scheduling MX, arranging MX, test flight, etc. You're expected to do all of this out of the goodness of your heart.
The owners don't pay a salary. You get some crappy pay, based on your actually flight time. so, fly for 3 hours but work for 10? Well, thanks alot, here's your 3 hours of pay. NO overnight pay.

Here comes the best part. The owners routinely try to pressure you into flying when you don't feel that it's safe. Examples: The last pilot cancelled a trip because one vacuum pump was INOP, and the other one wasn't working properly. The owner tried the whole, "Oh, come on - a real pilot could fly that thing with one pump" . . .

The Landing Gear has been iffy for the last year or so. I last flew that airplane about a year ago. Not uncommon to get a gear light in cruise. The pump works sometimes, and other times it doesn't. Everyone that flies that plane knows that there are some tricks to get the pump going. It flew to MEM last week with the gear down the whole way, because the weather was crappy, and there's no need to add a gear problem to the equation.

A couple of months ago, it had a complete electrical failure. Well, one alternator was broken already, and the second one just decided to take a crap. Good thing it was VMC.

The AC doesn't work. The owner seems to think that getting that fixed is a waste.

To give you an idea, some of us at Wings of Eagles have named it the Flying Casket. A guy I know suggested that the owners should install handles on the sides of the plane, so that lowering it into the ground would be easier after the crash.

When the last pilot resigned, the owner said, "I don't understand, there are people willing to PAY to fly this airplane!!". 'Nuff said.

So, if you wanna build time, and you're feeling froggy? Go ahead!!

BTW - notice that they specifically ask for a "Time Builder", not a professional pilot?

Sounds like they want a low timer so they can treat them like crap and pay them the same.
