Pros
Best maintenance practices, Good pay for the industry for pilots, Professional employees
Cons
New scheduling and pay practices were initiated recently that have destroyed moral among nearly all medical crew and some within the pilot group. Medical crews were reduced to three of each practice, working ten 24 hour shifts a month. And while their annual salary may or may not have increased, their hourly pay was determined based on the required number of hours worked and the local OT laws. So crew members from state to state will have different hourly pay in order to equal the same annual salary. At the same time, a "pool" of crew members was created to fill vacancies caused by vacation and required training. This was all done in the name of reducing out of service time. However, it's had the opposite effect. Management, strongly led by company president, Mr Motzkin, has driven all of this change without involvement or input from the staff. When opinions are given during stakeholder calls the response given is always, "We hear you and we're taking what's being said under consideration." But what the employees hear is, "We hear what you're saying, and the answer is, no." This is a good company that was a great company. And if management would see what they are doing they could prevent it from becoming a bad company. But will they??
