Red Baron Express - Tampa
 

Need info on this air operator based in Fl, any one heard of them, or works for them?

Thanx for info

What do they fly?

Where do they fly?

No personal experience, but their website looks pretty informative.
Suprisingly ;), the url is http://www.redbaronexpress.com/

I worked for them for about a year and a half. This was in the 90's. MX was a joke. Classic smalltime hack 135 operator. Do a search on the NTSB accident database for some of their background. Aside from Red Baron search on the word "Gallops" which is the name of the owner. There were some other accidents and incidents that the government doesn't know about. They may be a better outfit now but IMHO the Feds should have shut them down years ago. Pressure to fly was pretty intense. I'd work for Home Depot before going back there. When I was there most flying was 210's and 206's.
If you do go there get ready for the classic "fly or be fired regardless of wx or airworthiness" mentality. You will have your emergency procedures down pat if you work there. When I was there you also had to get into a car (no A/C) and deliver the freight. Need some rest? Get it in the back of the aircraft.


Have you tried Flight Express? Probably a lot safer and a better career move.
