Ravens' Nest / NEST

Mission Statement

NEST’s purpose is to facilitate the taking and execution of contracts by freelance pilots, referred to within the company as ‘Ravens’. We strive to provide a safe, supportive, and neutral environment for our members. In addition allowing us to find clients the personnel they need.

What does NEST offer members?

We seek to help our members find and complete contracts put out by other organizations as well as independent parties. We also hope that NEST will become a place where freelance, normally un-affiliated, people can find and provide assistance to one another (for a fee). NEST should also provide an open social forum for freelancers. Members are also, of course, allowed to pursue contracts of their own accord, so long as they do not violate any of NEST’s rules and regulations.

What does NEST offer clients?

The right person for the right price™. A Nexus Broker will review your contract, post it to our members, and seek to find the best match we can offer. You are, of course, free to consult our members directly, though we encourage prospective clients to go through NEST’s Brokers. And if there is a certain member you would like, we will be sure to offer them priority on the contract!
