Pros

New planes with solid Mx

Cons

This aviation department is run by a bunch of flight school management trying to run a big time operation. The hiring practices are terrible, Management does not want to be bothered with legitimate issues, so much so that they send out a “communication guide” that essentially says “don’t call us” The pay and benefits have no structure and is severely lacking for captains. I met some good people here but it is essentially a bunch of pilots who have zero jet time from their flight school so there’s a much higher workload on captains. They advertised a big raise which was nothing short of a joke all while teasing half the FO community about upgrading to which they have no process or standards for. The one positive is the scheduling managers. Those guys are doing the job your Aviation “management” should be doing!

Pros

Some passionate people who work hard You can make a big impact because the company is small but you will need to set boundaries hard and fast.

Cons

-Pay lags behind industry -Relocation details arent clear -HR stymie's career growth -Chaotic organization with conflicting goals and timelines -Many burnt out folks -Some in senior leadership dont listen to those below them. There is significant burn out in manufacturing due to unending overtime and continuous weekend overtime, with no end in sight. -looking back if i could talk to myself before starting here I would talk myself out of it.
