Pros

-For EASA, you will always have work/flight hours. Surplus of students. -Large Fleet size, if MX happens, most of the times you get another plane. -Good Weather year round / few WX cancelations -Building has good facilities, a Dispatch

Cons

- Planners are not strategical and squeezing activities in schedule to stack your day. - EASA Management is Reactive and not Proactive. Most of the time working here had about 10-12 students at a time in an accelerated course. All of them mostly angry because they could not progress fast. Leading to a toxic environment. -Company just got new management, They took away ability for CFIs to set their own schedule, mindset of new management is squeeze every opportunity for profit, even if it does not make sense. -EASA planners at the moment are the most rude/not helpful people. Considering instructors are out there flying in 115F, with 10 students, and can never seem to help with accommodating certain request if we need.

Pros

CAE paid for my MEI. A large number of students come from Europe, and there is no lack of flight hours. Pay and overtime are very fair. Maintenance for the aircraft is good.

Cons

There are some long days. You don't get to choose your schedule.
