Hello, and thank-you for your current employee review. Spot-on regarding the culture around learning and professional development. Especially at the Indy station, & the through put of narrow-bodies. From GenFam to CBT, over to OJT, the Company strives to keep moving in that direction. Making a tight turn into comp., the hangars strive to be competitive, along with offering employee incentives. Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), & Company Holidays are part of the overall package, and we support wellness opportunities and give education assistance. Pretty solid for sure. Please feel free to reach out to the Airframe Indy HR Team, as they will always work to help. Blue skies, and let's keep 'em Flying! Very Respectfully, Greg Dellinger
