Pros

New better pay structure. Company is growing fast allowing for lots of room for advancement. Always busy, never slow. Great, friendly people to work with. 3 day weekends.

Cons

Seems to be under staffed. High plane to mechanic ratio. Lack of tooling and parts at location.

Pros

Depending on base and willingness to have awful hours flying debateably airworthy airplanes for awful pay in awful locations (BFE Texas, etc.) you can build a decent amount of turbine time in a relatively short amount of time. You will work 5-6 days a week. If you live somewhere desirable you won't be able to afford rent and food, just like the first year of any regional.

Cons

Crumbling airplanes, perpetually junior maintainance teams (high turnover) due to poor pay, bottom line centric management with no regard for pilot rest, welfare, working conditions or paying a living wage, very few in the training department with any willingness to actually train, very few days off and extremely long duty days often times with "outstation rest" meaning you have one day off a week. If you can work anywhere else flying a turbine for the same or better pay, do it.

Not a bad place to work.

Pros

Some really great people to work with. Diverse working conditions, opportunity to learn several career paths to move towards. With the new ownership, (Gary Richards is out and the two other owners no longer own any part of the company) changes are happening rapidly and appear to be in a positive direction.

Cons

New owner has never owned an airline. Under this new leadership there is too rapid of change with terrible communication. The two other previous owners are still there creating a "Business as usual but we are changing" schizophrenic message. Still have the same "Make me lots of money" over any visible concern for actual condition of employee work environment or condition aircraft and equipment. Old aircraft, old equipment, old hangars, old computers... think OLD with no plan on changing!
