Hi Purplepitot....If its any help, I work for CHI and find them to be an excellent employer, with first class aircraft and a very competitive salary. Don`t get to tied up on which operator is better than the other (as inferred by Leading Edge), each has its own merits.....The industry in general is quite incestuous with a. buying stocks in b. and amalgamating with c. etc..Just enjoy the flying and remember to fly it until the last bit stops moving...
