Wow, a certain 5-terminal airport-based Ops provider be good if a "client" of theirs takes the time to send PM's to a ppruner who has never expressed a public interest in discovering more about flight service providers (has every other member of PPRuNe got one too?)

Oh and to re-quote ver batim their recommendation post from the thread - truely they must be something special.

If a "client" takes that much time to praise a supplier; I can only imagine what an employee of that company would say....but then that would be advertising wouldn't it

If I want the info, I'll ask for it thanks.

I had the same PM, not impressed.

Just to clarify, he only way we'll be changing our Ops provider is if the man at Signum gets out of the business....

And no we're not affiliated.

new small company

There is a new small ops company I was given very positive feedback about.
It is based in France/Switzerland and is specialized in private aircraft operations. Cost efficient and experienced people.

FLIGHT solution - customized ops

Proceed with care

Small ops companies are a good idea, but its finding the right one. Make sure that once you start using them and providing regular income for them, that they don't try to stab you in the back with the company that you work for. Many of the companies are respectable but the odd makes you wish you hadn't bothered with them in the first place.
A pilot I met a couple of months ago had problems with his small ops company, who didn't seem to like any of the pilots they provided their services for. He was fired because of their petty backstabbing and their final judgement.

Pay as you go

So in essence you are probably better off paying as you go per sector for your flight plans, and keeping more control over who you decide to use

Pay as you go, or per sector, is the way forward. PM me for details.

A good operations....

.... provider will build their service around your needs and requirements. Doesn't have to be the biggest, doesn't have to be the smallest, just has to listen to the client.
