Tradewind Aviation - A team environment that seriously values its' employees

Pros

This is a great company to work for. As a Part Time Pilot, I am very impressed with the level of loyalty from the company to every one of it's employees, from Flight Crew to back office folks. The company management is very transparent and none of them are afraid to roll up their sleeves and join in. For a variety of reasons which are all good, I occasionally see Upper Management flying the line at 4.00am on Mondays. A great sense of teamwork and recognition. Everyone is on a first name basis and everyone is treated the same. Management treats Part Time employees with the same benefits as Full Time employees. Benefits are constantly reviewed and continually improved. I can't say enough about how much I continue enjoy to work for Tradewind for the past six years.

Cons

There's nothing not to like about working at Tradewind Aviation

Pros

- good instructors that can bring new pilots without 135 expirence to a expected level to act as SIC - 4 days ON and 3 days OFF - you can work hard days - excellent airplanes - professionally run - dispatch and schedulers are great to balance the pilots, they don't overload people or play favorites. - quick upgrades to capitan and jet pilots.

Cons

There no cons per say, the 135 companies are all in the same boat, so if you want to work here, keep in mind you will have schedules changing, quick turns, a lot of work with customers/clients, a lot of "extras" that you don't learn on flight schools (load baggage, clean airplane, walk customers, prepare the cabin, be a company face to the customers, checkin and checkout passengers, etc.). This is not an airliner, you are expected to plan your trips, weather, file flight plan, weight and balance, paperwork, etc... there is no dispatch for that.
