Thank you for sharing your experience and for acknowledging the team environment we worked hard to build. That culture matters to us, and we're glad it left an impression. You're right that Silver Air has undergone significant change over the past few years. Operating in Part 135 private aviation means we have to continuously evolve - around safety, operations, client expectations, and long-term stability. Some of those adjustments have been significant, and we understand that change isn't always easy, especially for those who lived through it. What we can share is that the changes made over the past 18 months have been intentional. We've invested in leadership, safety, hospitality, and business development - with senior promotions and strategic hires across the organization. Pilot retention has remained strong, including 0% involuntary pilot turnover during this period, which we're proud of and don't take for granted. We're building something we believe in - a culture that's accountable, service-driven, and built to last. We're always open to direct feedback, and if you'd ever like to connect, we encourage you to reach out through silverair.com. Wishing you the best in what's next.

Pros

Strong leadership accessibility and a genuinely team-oriented culture. Even as the company has grown, it still maintains a close-knit environment where employees feel valued instead of treated like a number. The executive team remains approachable and engaged, which is rare in aviation. Beautiful Santa Barbara location, great office atmosphere, supportive coworkers, and a high level of operational knowledge across departments. The company invests in people, collaboration, and creating an environment that feels professional but still personal and human.

Cons

Private aviation is a true 24/7 industry, so the pace can be demanding and expectations can shift quickly depending on operational needs, owners, weather, and maintenance events. Like most Part 135 environments, there are periods of high pressure and long hours, especially during growth phases or operational disruptions. Employees who prefer highly structured or low-intensity environments may find the pace challenging.

Pros

When I started the culture was fun and the people were great. We could rely on each other.

Cons

Leadership became an issue. No comfort in talking to HR or a manager about issues. Very hierarchical. Everyone seemed to disapprove of the CEO. He was not approachable. HR asked us at one point to post positive reviews here on Glassdoor. That left a bad taste.
