Prestige Helicopters

HX is the best in helicopter companies. They have the top of the line aircraft, and everything they do is executed flawlessly.
Their primary focus is in government contract work, however, with their newest Kaman KMAX 1200 addition, they are entering the construction market at full speeds. Power line construction, HVAC lift work and more - 40x as efficient than the typical crane lift work.
Executive charter rentals and trips as well as aerial cinematography work are based primarily out of Atlanta. SAG pilots are on staff, and have participated in numerous films and shows taking place out of the ATL.

I have 10 hours on the books with Prestige from a few years back. Girlfriend bought me an $89 Living Social deal for fun in Oct, 2010. Deal expired 4/4/11, so I called 4/2/11 and left 2 VMs, but received no call back. Called again after expiration when Jan (co-owner) was in and got a totally unnecessary beratement for 15 minutes about being a procrastinator! SERIOUSLY? They took my money and wouldn't honor the deal, even though I did call within the timeframe of the deal’s validity (learn how to return calls, guys). Obviously, nobody tought these people how to respect their fellow humanity, and they have a very bad reputation of being difficult to deal with on more than one level, including how they financially treat their instructors who help sell their helicopters to students. I had similar problems with them when I was flying regularly, such as double-charging my credit card and taking 2 months to credit the redundant charge, mis-managing scheduling (I got bumped on 2 occasions, whereas I showed up, only to find there was no scheduled lesson), and other minor service-related things that left me scratching my head. Overall, the instructors I worked with were top-notch (I’ve flown with 3, all of which were excellent), and their birds are well maintained. However, the owners are complete scheisters with holier-than-thou attitudes, so I must give Prestige as a company a disgraceful rating. CAVEAT EMPTOR!
