Tradewind Aviation reviews

- Some shenanigans around the pilot contract, which is heavily bias on the company side, however, you sign it if you want it. Unfortunately, I signed and I fulfill the contract before leaving the company. Don't fool yourself, when you sign the contract they expect you to stay around 2 years with the company (SIC time + pic time , etc.) - It is a single-engine airplane when you interview for airlines, they see the Pilatus the same way they see you flying a C172, "single engine land". - There is no real career progression, and the first crisis, you are in line to be fire. - Expect to do everything, from fueling the airplane, to clean the airplane, restock the cooler, check in passengers, carry bags around, be the company face out there, etc. You may think that the vast majority of things that you do is not a pilot job, but that's the name of the game. - Overnight hotels are the cheapest that they can find. Also, good luck finding food with the $15 overnight per diem in Nantucket. - They will min rest you as much as they can, also, the rest starts at the time you land, so 8hours of "rest" is brutal after a couple nights doing it. Takes a long toll in your health.

Very very very unorganized company. No training program, it's pretty much a free for all and you are taught to do the same thing 5 different ways by 5 different people and then are told you are doing it wrong. Definition of micro management. Every single email and call you send is reviewed critiqued by management and since there is no training program and you are taught everything differently you then get talked to and in trouble. If you want to see discrimination in the workplace then work here. The sales team is not a team, and the work environment is very negative and hostile. You would think there would maybe be one positive thing here but no, received a $10k pay cut to hire new employees (who are all friends and worked together at the same company the new sales manager is from) who are getting paid more than someone who has been with the company for over 2 years. Commissions are based on monthly sales revenue and updates are provided weekly and then later change by management at the end of each month and told they calculated the numbers wrong which just has somehow happened each month for the past 3 months resulting in no commissions paid out. Avoid at all costs!!
