Pros

Slightly above competitor pay rates. Come and do as you want- no accountability.

Cons

Leadership team not focused or trained to lead this type of program. Company seriously in debt and have problems paying vendors on time. Maintenance tries to save overhead money by substandard parts or inspection methods. If you are a "by the book" mechanic, DO NOT JOIN THIS PROGRAM. There is no accountability so lots of mistakes happen costing lots of money, very difficult to get fired " good ole boy" program. Less than great medical benefits, no 401k contribution (going broke) no reason to invest time and experience with company. Zero training program in place. Very outdated tooling and equipment, 1940's hangar with all original equipment, wear layers in the winter inadequate heating and lighting, delappadated airplanes for parts scavenging, use what works mentality.

Pros

As a mechanic, you have job security. The planes break down constantly due to band-aid repairs to make the next flight.

Cons

The airline's customer reviews are a direct reflection of the upper management. They do not care about you or your time. If the plane isn't fixed, you're not leaving. You can leave work after a 20-hour shift, and they expect you to be back on-site in 4-6 hours. Mx planning has no clue what they are doing, and Mx control knows it. They will schedule every inspection for one day because it makes their jobs easier. They have no clue what the inspections they schedule actually entail or how long they take. They will not tell you that your time off is vested only. If you accept the job in January, you will not have any vacation days to use for the entire year. If you accept the job in November, you will have the days earned from Nov - Dec to use the following year. Have kids? Don't worry, they won't hesitate to call you into work at 4 am on Christmas Day.
