What's it take to get CCO certified these days? 3 crackerjack box tops and a few weeks? Go get certified yourself and do your paperwork between picks.
I can see your point of view, I just took issue with the way he presented the idea. Nobody wants to be told they'll need to work cheap.I don't really understand why some of you feel the urge to pile on with the negativity right away. Maybe take a little time to read the entire post or think about it for a moment.
So what I gather is WTX is offering a chance to start or enter into a bussiness that could be a little thin on profits right away, so maybe the top pay might not be the case at first. Just think if it works. You would be getting a 1/3-1/2 ownership in a good bussines for some sweat equity and taking a little risk.
I doubt he is looking for a grumpy 50-60 year old guy that knows it all and thinks he is worth $300k per year. Think of yourself or someone 25-30 years old, willing to put in some extra effort and grow a bussiness from nothing or very little with a guy that is willing to help you get started. maybe it works, maybe it does't, its called risk to reward. I hope he finds the right guy to make it work.
I get what your saying but he's talking about crane operation......the most dangerous piece of equipment on a job. Its also the most regulated. You can't just throw someone into a crane that doesn't have much experience. LMI'S have taken on a lot of the risks with the safety features but those parameters are usually set by the operator before each lift. One mistake in calculations can cause injury or death to multiple personnel, let alone millions of dollars in damages. No way ide have nothing but the best operator money could buy right off the bat. Hiring an operator for cheap is just insanity to me. I dam sure would not want to be working around one.I don't really understand why some of you feel the urge to pile on with the negativity right away.

Reread the middle of the very first post.If OP had simply phrased it as they're looking for someone to help operate a new business and, if successful, be offered a stake in ownership then I suspect the reception would have been much better.
I did. They said must be willing to work cheap or bring a lot of experience to the table.Reread the middle of the very first post.
read the middle lineYou either need to be willing to work cheap to start with or bring a lot to the table up front
