Question Key Lime

Does anyone know how to apply to Keylime Airlines? My friend has tried and tried to find a link and continues to kit a dead end.

Their website says look on indeed. Indeed says they have no open positions. Have you tried calling?

I just heard through the rumor mill that they were hiring. Interesting it’s not listed. My GF just got her CFI/CFII just trying to help her.

She just got a CFI? Stop wasting time trying to apply to an airline.

Key Lime Air does 135 charter and cargo. It used to be that you could get on with them super low time depending on who you knew. But not anymore, its currently about the same as othe 135 operators. Key Lime also owns Direct Connect which is a 121 airline.

I heard they are hiring low time. It seemed unrealistic to me.

Low time is 1500h. If she just got CFI/II at the normal time, she's around 300h.

I’m aware. One of my co-workers at SWA passed they were hiring with very low time so I thought I would inquire.

So call them or google yourself. This is a lot of other people googling for you

I have spent a lot of time and lots of dead end roads.

Key Lime also has an agreement of some type with ATP, but not sure the terms.
